I've been enjoying Black Mirror season 7 the past few nights. (Enjoyed is maybe not the right word for all – Common People is mighty depressing but also brilliantly prescient.) I loved the last two in particular. Paul Giamatti is so good in Eulogy. And it was great to see the sequel to USS Callister, which was one of my favourites of the earlier series. I like that you can download the Thronglets game from episode 5. Like multiple Tamagotchis! (Not that I have – I don't want that responsibility!)
Glad to hear there's more greatness to come, I actually quite enjoyed the "lean and nasty" (to use my categorisation) Bete Noire and have been a little unmoved by the "ponderous and predictable" Hotel Reverie, which we didn't quite finish last night.
Netflix games still don't feel real, they feel like ads and malware that have escaped from the internet of 20 years ago...
They should give the Update desk to Michael Longfellow next year.

Yes, I can see that, good shout! It absolutely needs a refresh.
Thanks for reading (and I love your posts, brilliant insights into film and life).
Many thanks!
