Exploring the depths of human psychology and sociology, Black Mirror is a Netflix Original Series that was released to Netflix on Oct.  21, 2016.

Black Mirror is known as a modern day “Twilight Zone.” With episodes that ranged from plots like social status depending on the popularity of your social media, and a chip that records every single second of your life, this show has been known to get a little wild.

Recently on Dec. 29,  Black Mirror released a fourth season that fans everywhere have been waiting a year for.

This season included six episodes with plots that, like every other episode, get you thinking about the human mind.

I thought most of the episodes this season had plots that pulled the viewer in. Overall, two episodes were my favorite because the acting was exceptional and the plots themselves were pretty creative and of course, made you think after you finished them.

One of the episodes though had me bored because although the actors didn’t do a bad job in my opinion, I thought the plot itself was boring and something that you’d probably find in another TV show or movie.

In my favorite episode,   “Black Museum”, a woman named Nish is on a road trip and makes a pit stop at a museum named Black Museum where she meets Rolo Haynes, the owner of the museum itself.

Rolo gives Nish a tour of the museum and introduces her to three special artifacts inside the museum, each having a unique story to them which Rolo shares.

This episode in particular had me on the edge of my seat because the stories that came with each artifact, a stuffed monkey, a hologram, and a pain simulator, each were definitely unique and thrilling.

The other episode that was one of my favorites and that critics praise as one of the season’s best episodes, was “USS Callister”. In this episode, a woman named Nanette Cole gets hired at Callister Inc., a company that produces a game where players can go in a simulated reality of an outer space setting.

As the episode progresses, Cole gets trapped inside a virtual reality with other familiar faces and together they try to escape the clutches of their captor.

I liked the Star Trek vibe this episode had and I thought the episode was like a suspense horror movie, where you didn’t know what was going to happen next, which is something I love about horror movies.

The one episode that I wasn’t a huge fan of was “Metalhead”. In Metalhead, a woman and two other men have to outrace killer robotic dogs that have risen since the destruction of mankind, for reasons unexplained.

Although the plot could sound cool if you’re into survival of the fittest type scenarios, I was bored the whole time trying to watch the main characters escape these vicious creatures because it was just people and a machine running around.

I loved the underrated actors that the directors choose, probably from shows and movie you’ve seen before. Letitia Wright who played Nish in “Black Museum” is in the new Marvel’s “Black Panther” as Shuri, one of the main heroines in the story. Cristin Milioti who played Nanette Cole in “USS Callister”, was from  the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” or Academy Award Nominated “The Wolf of Wall Street”.

I would recommend this show if you’re into some horror and a lot of psychology. If you don’t like to think about life after watching something that opens up your eyes to a new concept, this show is not for you.

I give praise to Black Mirror for keeping me up at night and wondering about life.

Overall, I think it’s safe to say this  season was one of the best seasons Black Mirror has produced yet.
