Perhaps of all the Black Mirror episodes to date, it’s not only the most plausible, it’s the stark reality of how exploitative television has become right here, right now.įor the first time Black Mirror heads to Scotland, to the fictional Loch Henry, the hometown of filmmaker Davis who brings his girlfriend Pia to make a documentary about an egg-protecting vigilante and stay with his widowed mother who lives alone since the death of his policeman father.ĭuring their stay they meet Davis’ friend Stuart and over drinks they talk about the history of the once popular tourist destination which became a ghost town after a couple went missing on their honeymoon in 1997. Loch Henry is the most apt perspective of true crime since Making A Murderer blew up the strange phenomenon and turned horrific murders into sick bingeable television. Loch Henry is my number one (Picture: Netflix)
