The seventh season of Black Mirror includes a standout episode titled 'Hotel Reverie,' showcasing a complex lesbian romance. The plot follows A-list actress Brandy Friday, played by Isaac Rae, who uses futuristic technology called Redream to embody a character in a fictional film. As she interacts with Clara, portrayed by Emma Corrin, the scripted narrative diverges, leading to Clara's emergence as a queer character. This twist deeply affected viewers, evoking emotions and drawing comparisons to the acclaimed episode 'San Junipero.' Audience reactions highlight the episode's emotional weight and representation of queer experiences.
Posting on Reddit after watching 'Hotel Reverie,' one viewer said: "As a lesbian I loved it". Another added: "Not a dry eye in the house." Someone else wrote: "I loved it and didn't want it to end."
Another viewer shared that, "as a lesbian this one hit hard. Knowing that the actress never came to terms with her sexuality/never got to experience it & in this one universe she can finally be herself."
Similarly, another queer Black Mirror fan said, "this lowkey hit harder than san junipero."
