Karl comes bearing a special gift: the latest edition of a fighting video game they spent many a late night playing in their younger days, only this time it comes with a VR component that makes the viewer experience the same sensations as their on screen avatars. Danny has settled down in the suburbs with his wife (Nicole Beharie), and they’re trying to have their second kid, while Karl keeps living the life of a hard partying, sexually active big city playboy.
Striking Vipers centres around two former roommates – Danny (Anthony Mackie) and Karl (Yahya Abdul-Marteen II) – reconnecting after years apart at the former’s 38th birthday party. Or maybe he’s just burnt out after writing something as intricate as Bandersnatch and this new season is coming too soon after that for him to recover.
#THE BLACK MIRROR SEASON 5 SERIES#
With only one of the three new entries into the series registering as a worthy addition to Brooker’s cautionary, technophobic cannon (and it being the inarguably silliest of the bunch), one fears that the Black Mirror creator has run out of things to be fearful of and is now content to lay heavily on the same notes he previously played as leadenly as possible. The three episode fifth season of British writer and producer Charlie Brooker’s wildly popular and often imitated horror and sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror (which comes on the heels of the blisteringly ambitious and entertaining choose-your-own-adventure story Bandersnatch ) suggests an enterprise that’s losing steam and original ideas in a hurry.
