Netflix is a popular entertainment company that is known for showing popular TV shows found on cable. However, it also releases its own original shows.

Recently, Netflix has released a new show called “Black Mirror” which was previously on Channel 4, a British broadcasting TV network, but Netflix helped them revive the show and release a new season.

Black Mirror is like The Twilight Zone with stories that explore human psychology. Each episode has a different plot line and unique characters.

Although I did love the original Twilight Zone and the idea of exploring human psychology, I thought that this show was okay. I thought that some of the episode plot lines didn’t reel me in while other episodes had me watching until the credits.

I loved some of the stories lines that director Charles Brooker made. In one of my favorite episodes “Nosedive,” the episode is set in a futuristic world where the world runs on friends and strangers rating each other based on their social media and everyday actions.

The viewer follows insecure office worker Lacie Pound, who becomes obsessed with having a good rating.

However, I thought some of the plot lines could have used work, like the episode “The National Anthem.” The plot line was too weird for me.

In this episode, Princess Susannah is kidnapped and the Prime Minister must fulfill a strange task. The Prime Minister does everything to avoid fulfilling the task while trying to get Princess Susannah to safety.

I liked the message that many things can slip over our noses, but I was bored by the plot line and I didn’t like the way the episode ended.

The actors in every episode used different emotions and characteristics to make their character unique. The characters in each episode give the viewer a real aspect on how all minds are different and how technology affects our everyday lives.

I would give the show 3.5 out of 5 stars because I loved the actors and some of the plot lines were unique and clever. However,  some of the episodes made me yawn and wonder when  it would be over.

One of the things I love is how this show explores the unease of the world, just like the psychological hit The Twilight Zone. Netflix is planning on a season four.
