Black Mirror – “San Junipero”
Black Mirror isn’t known for being an uplifting series. Instead it’s known largely for it’s bleak assumption that technology is going to ruin our lives as we further enhance our gadgets and lives that often seem ruined by the end of the episode. “San Junipero” has become so beloved because of the show turning the tides on that mentality but also, especially, because of the love story at its center between Mackenzie Davis and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Soulful, emotional and impeccably performed, “San Junipero” is the episode that fans of the show should remember. –Allyson Johnson
