Charlie Brooker admits that he found himself surprised by the dark turn his own writing took as he constructed the sixth season of “Black Mirror.” As he told his audience at BFI Southbank, “this season I started out doing some with a very different take – a Red Mirror film, and almost like a crime and horror-led sister label, so to speak. […] I started out and thought, ‘I’m going to write some under the label Red Mirror for a while’, that was where my mind was going. It’s just the way they fell, it’s just the way they came out was really unpleasant.”
The episode summaries for Season 6 hint at Brooker’s changing point of view. Among other notions, it will focus on a couple trying to dig up the truth about a shocking rumor in a small Scottish town, take a peek into life in an alternate version of NASA during the space race, follow a sales associate who is forced to commit horrifying acts to maintain worldwide harmony, and a pop starlet whose violent crime and constant pursuit by the paparazzi take their toll.
