“This is like something out of Black Mirror” has become shorthand in our culture for when technology goes too far, like when an AI generates a screenplay or robotic security guards are deployed. The series has gained a reputation for skewering our over-dependence on technology to the point where writer Daniel M. Lavery summed up the series with one sentiment: “what if phones, but too much?”

But such a specific angle can only take you so far. Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, fresh from sparking a Tiktok meme with his mockumentary series Cunk on Earth, seems to have taken the criticism to heart. In Season 6 of the series, not a single story relies on smartphones going too far. The “Black Mirror” no longer refers to your face reflected in your phone screen, but the one reflected in your TV screen.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been on a comeback tour over the last year, from a wealth of fixes and updates to the exceptionally well-received Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
