    Vraiment dingue ! La série monte encore d'un cran ! On quitte ce simple concept de pousser une idée technologique à l extreme pour dire qu'il faut faire et on pose une ambiguïté sur une technologie dans ses qualités comme ses défauts. On voit ici un moyen métrage avec un sous texte sur la recherche d'identité sexuelle et la vie de couple et ses limites.

    This is an idea I had when I was 15 playing video games with my friends.

    That doesn't make it a good episode of Black Mirror LMAO

    One of the more interesting premises of the show, but one that is not explored enough, especially for its longer than normal runtime.

    Stupid episode, bad ending, I mean seriously what was the message here? I did get a big laugh out of the polar bear joke, but by that point I was just looking for something to like.

    Word is that Season 5 is not good, and it sure has started off that way.

    wouldn’t the game designers had to have programmed in the sex? 

    what does the sex feel like, do they feel anything at all? 

    WHY DID HE FUCK A BEAR??

    A significantly less depressing episode of Black Mirror, Striking Vipers is an interesting dissection of masculinity and relationships. Anthony Mackie and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are excellent in the lead roles. Mackie brings a vulnerability that comes with approaching middle age, and Yahya plays his character with a different kind of discontent. Credit must also be given to Nicole Beharie, who plays the wife of Anthony Mackie's character with real agency. Pom Klementieff and Ludi Lin play the video game counterparts of the main characters, and they're good. The brief fight sequences are okay, although clearly not the main focus of the episode. The cinematography and score are great, as usual. The analysis of the connection between fighting games and homoeroticism…
