	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Sam Wollaston The Guardian	"This 'Black Mirror' feels less like the usual Brookerian nightmarish video game dystopia (...). It's also less satirical and acerbic than some of his previous television (...) There is a new gentleness (...) that (...) makes it better (...) Not just prescient and wise, wicked and funny. But also touching, human"	POS
United Kingdom	Sameer Rahim Telegraph	"The show touched on important ideas – the false way we sometimes present ourselves online, and our growing addiction to virtual lives – but it was also a touching exploration of grief. To my mind it’s the best thing Brooker has done. Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Sutcliffe The Independent	"Charlie Brooker's writing has changed since he became a husband and a father, but it's a thickening not a softening (...) admitting feelings far more complicated than rage and exasperation"	POS
United Kingdom	Neela Debnath The Independent	"Although it was less abrasive and unsettling than the last series it felt a good deal more thought-provoking. The story was fully formed and far more polished (...) showing Brooker’s development and maturity as a screen writer"	POS
