“Nosedive” shows that you don’t need dramatic twists to have a great episode of Black Mirror.
I’d say this is the most mainstream accessible episode, with candy-colored visuals — a stark contrast to most of Black Mirror — and direct parallels to our modern society.
What makes “Nosedive” special is, in large part, the amazing Bryce Dallas Howard as desperate-to-please Lacie Pound.
Sure, some of the ideas have already been explored on other platforms and in episodes of shows like Community.
