Not every episode is created equal (of the new season, “Joan Is Awful” and “Demon 79” might be the standouts, though there’s room for debate) — what remains constant is that it’s a treat to see this show’s imagination in action.
Despite the refreshed nature of the series, this season of Black Mirror feels like an older one, in all the best ways.

I haven't watched the whole season yet, but Demon 79 is one of the most fantastic things I've seen in years and it easily deserves a 10. Whoever wrote it, man. Respect, really, fantastic job. I absolutely love it.

SEASON 6
Good interesting ideas and interesting philosophy with solid writing and characterization and good acting and direction deserves way higher rating episodes 1 and 3 are really good and 2 and 5 while not flawless are solid.
If someone writes the word like "woke" which is a meaningless right-wing culture war buzzword that they can't even define in their review anybody can just disregard their opinion instantly writing right-wing buzzword and having zero media literacy is not a show analysis it's a joke and a circus if you review bomb at least not be lazy enough and justify your views rationally which you can't.

SEASON 6
This most technophobic of series feels a little more human than ever before.
As with every anthology series, Black Mirror‘s episodes will vary in quality, but they’re always entertaining, and the first episode gives the new season a good start.
Focus on the rich storytelling of chapters like “Beyond the Sea” and “Demon 79” instead of the moral messaging of “Loch Henry” or “Mazey Day” and there’s reason to keep looking.
Irreverent, scatological, and nightmarishly claustrophobic, “Joan is Awful” is an excellent instalment in Black Mirror’s catalogue of Orwellian farces. .... “Loch Henry” frequently shapes like it’s about to burst into full horror. Whether through restraint or lack of ambition, that generic metamorphosis never happens, and ultimately the episode becomes a little limp. .... “Beyond the Sea” has the key to a great Black Mirror chapter: slow-burning dread and myriad ways for things to go wrong. .... ["Mazey Day" is] Slender (it’s just 40 minutes long) and scattershot.
While this season tries to tap into that original Black Mirror techno flair, none of the five episodes rise to the occasion of the horrors we’ve seen in 2020 and beyond, also failing to live up to the high standard the series has set for itself.
Joan is awful 6/10
Loch henry 7/10
Beyond the sea 5/10
Mayzwy day 6/10
Demon 79 8/10
6.8/10 Overall
Somewhat disappointed with this season. It leans towards fantasy and horror and away from the titular black mirror of technophobic nightmare scapes from previous seasons (I assume this is because the world itself has slowly become one!). Interesting and entertaining for the most part.

SEASON 6
Downgrade of quality and the themes, only quite good episodes 1 and 3 have old "Black Mirror" vibe. I felt like I was watching a completely different anthology, a weak horror series. Episode 2 is bad beyond imagination in every aspect. Episode 4: cheap, generic horror, has nothing to do with "Black Mirror". Episode 5: seriously?!? Summary: A weak season benefiting from a well-known brand. No good story, no plot-twist, plain boring...
