McKee dissects why BLACK MIRROR won the
Emmy.
|
We exist in the golden age of television. Audiences flock to
long form TV. Why?That's where the best writing currently is. We marvel
weekly at modern screen classics from the comfort of our livingroom. GAME
OF THRONES, BREAKING BAD, THE WIRE and MAD MEN have all conquered our
imagination and held our attention captive. With its recent Emmy wins,
BLACK MIRROR takes its place among these ground breaking series.
|
So let McKee show you again why BLACK
MIRROR works.

McKee's WORKS / DOESN'T WORK TV Series Review
|
BLACK MIRROR (TV Series, 2011- )
McKee says: It Works (Spoiler Alert!)
|
|
HIGH RISK ANTHOLOGY:
Long-form series, like BREAKING BAD and GAME OF THRONES,
unfold their stories, season after season, from a foundation of perpetual
characters and settings. But an anthology series works from scratch to
invent a new cast, a new world, and, most importantly, a new story, episode
after episode. Some anthologies, such as LAW & ORDER and THE X-FILES,
lighten the load with continuing characters, but not BLACK MIRROR. Like its
famous predecessor, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, not all BLACK MIRROR episodes are
equally excellent, but then that's true of any series. Overall, the
uniqueness of this tour de force's episodes rocks the mind.

MODERN HORROR:
Unlike the last century's uncanny monsters (ALIEN) and gothic
supernaturals (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), the genius of BLACK MIRROR seeps
unseen horrors out of the kitchen sink realities of our techno-world, which
then slowly infiltrate our everyday life, until the world spins like a
tornado. From NATIONAL ANTHEM (S.1 - E.1) to PLAYTEST (S.3 - E. 2), with
each episode, BLACK MIRROR unleashes a chilling, too-real fear of what
hides inside the gismos we hold in our hand.

MAKE'EM WAIT:
Suspense merges curiosity with emotion. The question
"What's going to happen next?" fills with the dread of
"Please don't let it happen to me." The tensions in BLACK MIRROR
rack our nerves because, although we hope for a happy ending, we know it's
not gonna happen. Early episodes established the series' storytelling style
and warned us that all tales will end in a monsoon of irony: If it's a downer,
the protagonist's fate will spread a dark smile across his face. If it's an
upper, the protagonist may get what she wants, but she'll pay a hell of a
price for it—probably her soul.
