FAO Arizona Bay: Black Mirror (mild spoiling)
Ok... saw BM4 last week and finally watched 5 and 6 last night. Loved them all - I think White Bear was my favourite. Such a brilliant idea, almost perfect horror writing and practically unwatchable when she is taken back in to the house to be strapped up again.
I would probably then go for the first one with the dead boyfriend. Despite all his scabrous writing, Brooker actually portrays relationships and loss quite profoundly (similarities between this and 'the entire history of you' from the first series I thought).
Waldo was the weakest of the three - as a political satire it wasn't that original and I wish his brief relationship with the Labour candidate had been developed better. Perhaps this is the only one of the six which I felt didn't say everything it could in an hour.
But of course... all of it was brilliant.
