By their very nature, anthology shows aren’t about that “ooo I must watch the next episode straight away” vibe, especially one as varied as Black Mirror.
It puts the viewer first and is all about providing the most satisfying viewing experience, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in the narrative.
It wasn’t that the quality wasn’t there, it’s probably the best season of the show yet, with Netflix giving Charlie Brooker and his collaborators the budget they needed to fully realise such grand visions.
The distinct lack of conversation around it in comparison to previous seasons (which were broadcast on Channel 4) is purely down to the way it was disseminated.
