In the latest season of Black Mirror, creator Charlie Brooker reflects on the passage of time and nostalgia. The seventh season, particularly through episodes like Plaything and Eulogy, delves into emotional and historical aspects, examining how technology taps into memories. Brooker acknowledges a shift toward more vulnerable storytelling, straying from the overt dystopia of previous seasons while still delivering surprising twists. The emphasis now lies on social commentary and personal reflections, illustrating the complexities of technology's impact on human experience.
Brooker notes this season reflects on nostalgia and the passage of time, with episodes that dive into emotional depth rather than pure dystopia, striking a balance.
He explains, 'There's probably more social commentary and more emotive or vulnerable episodes... people come to Black Mirror expecting to be surprised, so you can't give them exactly what they want.'
