Variety Review’s Black Mirror USS Callister sequel Daniel Daddario Satisfyingly, the sequel finds villainy within an entirely different character and finds a place for its story to go that doesn’t simply feel like restaging past glories that now is where Black Mirror is at its best. The show’s early seasons tended to excel in a unified tone of chilly, bemused irony, treating the black mirrors of smartphone, laptop and tablet as mere reflectors of the frailties within all of us. More of the review of season 7.
