Everybody’s talking about… the new series of Black Mirror
Charlie Brooker has been speaking about season four.
And it’s going to be a mixed bag, as usual, as he tells The Telegraph:
We’ve got some strikingly different tones and looks. We’ve got one that’s overtly comic, much more overtly comic than anything we’ve done. It’s got fairly mainstream comic elements, but also some really unpleasant stuff that happens.
Thank god – wouldn’t be a Black Mirror episode without some really unpleasant stuff.
The Telegraph is predicting the fourth season will be on Netflix this autumn. *heart eyes emoji*
