In ‘Black Mirror’ Season 7, Netflix’s Tech Drama Has Maudlin Lows and Grisly Highs: TV Review
Paul Giamatti, Rashida Jones, and Issa Rae are among the stars in 'Black Mirror' Season 7
I’ve been a fan of “Black Mirror” since its early days, when its unified tone appraised humanity with a shrewd, unblinking wit; its experimentation in recent years seemed, now, to have brought it to a place of miserabilism. It finds its match in “Plaything,” a slightly less successful but still deliciously gnarly installment in which Cameron (Peter Capaldi), a marginal member of society, is brought in for interrogation on a cold case and reveals the role that a computer game played in either driving him mad or helping him to see a special kind of reason. The rule on celebrities ruining “Black Mirror” isn’t hard-and-fast, as Paul Giamatti delivers one of the series’ best acting performances ever in the episode “Eulogy,” as he attempts, in late middle age, to reconstruct a defining romantic relationship by entering old photos with the help of an AI assistant.
