“The Black Mirror Experience does feel like a fully realized piece of immersive theatre that simply happens to employ cutting-edge technology.”
The Recs StaffFull Review
“Unlike a typical episode of Black Mirror, the Experience lacks sharp satirical bite or deep philosophical insight.”
“The proceedings have the veneer of a Black Mirror episode, and there are a few truly disturbing images, but the premise didn’t blow my mind like the best episodes of the show have, or even leave me with much to chew on.”
“There are a handful of moments in which its fractured reflection of our reality is intriguingly put to use in The Black Mirror Experience, but as a whole, it isn’t consistent or polished enough to necessarily warrant signing away your data (if only for a few weeks) to another thing.”
