Black Mirror: Striking Vipers

"Black Mirror: Striking Vipers | Official Trailer | Netflix" (Watch on YouTube)

I'm not very fond of the series. I noped out of The National Anthem and that was it until Anthony Mackie did this one. Afterward, I went to the internet to ask which episodes were the most watchable, and liked two out of their top five. Haley Atwell and Be Right Back was boring and I skipped through it. USS Callister was engaging and I really liked the twists. Nosedive featured Bryce Dallas Howard trying to social media her way to the upper echelon and I liked the ending, but it took me three hours to get through my nerves and cringes. The National Anthem I did eventually finish and felt meh about. The Entire History of You about recording everything a person sees and I actively hated it.

Let me tell you the first bit of Striking Vipers features an incredibly hot monster Mackie. I love that jacket, and that smile and how much he likes the idea of role play. I want to try iconing if I ever get my desktop back from the shop. I didn't think I used it too much but the last two weeks has been sad.


The episode also features Pom Klementieff who plays Mantis in the MCU as an avatar in the virtual reality game Striking Vipers, and she's real good though I'm not sure about the character.

( There's probably more here not to like than there is to like. I think that while Danny is relatable, on the whole he made bad choices that would have hurt a lot of people. )
