Charlie Booker’s Black Mirror will be back on Netflix for season 4. For now however, Netflix has released a short teaser of one of the episodes called “Arkangel”. Although The Twilight Zone spawned movies, remakes and copycats, Black Mirror has seemingly earned the distinction of being its true spiritual successor. At least in terms of having is hand on the pulse of social anxieties. Plus, every episode is quite brilliant and stands on its own instead of just rehashing previous Twilight Zone stories like other shows do.
The short teaser revolves around parenting in the modern world. Parenting is far from easy, especially with the constant bombardment of media. And in usual Black Mirror fashion, technology claims to have a solution, or so it seems. The episode Arkangel has the tagline ‘the key to good parenting is control’. As the trailer shows, the mother resorts to using a neural implant to keep track of her daughter after a short scare. Obviously, things are only going to get worse from there and the device most likely comes with several side effects. Arkangel is directed by Jodie Foster who has two young children of her own, so she draws directly from her own anxieties as a mother.
Arkangel is just the second episode of season 4. Other episodes in this season include:
