Critic Reviews of "Black Mirror - Season 5"
indieWireJune 05, 2019Much of the "Smithereens'" success can be attributed to Andrew Scott's committed, textured performance.
The AtlanticJune 05, 2019"Smithereens" gets in a few interesting jabs, but Charlie Brooker's script is hampered by how thin the plot is, how long it takes for the action to get going, and how simplistic the big mystery turns out to be.
VoxJune 05, 2019It ultimately feels like a sophomoric, slippery slope argument, with little nuance beyond "social media is bad," unlikely to edify anyone who's been following news of the tech world lately.
Cultured VulturesAugust 22, 2019Probably the best of this season's crop, and it does it all without any unlikely fictional technology.
Mama's GeekyJune 14, 2019Slow to start, but once Topher Grace enters this episode you will be on the edge of your seat. Once again Black Mirror hits home with technology today.
Film School RejectsJune 12, 2019The criticism and condemnation may be familiar, but it's freshened up in the form of a thrilling and occasionally heart-breaking hostage drama.
PopMattersJune 12, 2019This swing-and-a-miss approach continues into the next two episodes, sadly...
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)June 10, 2019What keeps it together is a seriously committed and devastating performance from Scott and the little truth bombs and sly jokes that Brooker sneaks into every corner of the hour.
ColliderJune 06, 2019It's the strongest entry in the new season, and every performer is fantastic, but the 70-minute runtime does the thin plot no favors, especially when the thematic undercurrent hinges on something far too simple to justify it.
CNETJune 06, 2019Smithereens is a personal look at the side effects of staring at your phone all day. Scott's cabbie on the verge of an emotional breakdown makes equally addictive viewing.
TV LineJune 05, 2019It's a gripping, old-fashioned thriller with shades of Taxi Driver that doubles as a vicious commentary on our crippling tech addiction, with sharp bursts of dark humor throughout.
TV GuideJune 05, 2019It's too bad that wasn't what the episode was ultimately about. Though "Smithereens" finishes weakly, the road there is pretty good, but unlike road trip clichés, Black Mirror is more about the destination than the journey.
