“Black Mirror” Is The Most Overrated Show Ever, And We’ve Got Receipts

<p><p>This show tries so, so hard to be brilliant af, but a lot of times it ends up feeling more like sleight of hand chicanery than actual genius. Episodes like "Crocodile" and "Playtest" seem designed to make you feel a certain uncomfortable pain, and then hope that the twist at the end will be mistaken for emotional insight. The problem is that sometimes, once you scratch the surface, there’s not actually all that much to find.</p></p>
