The “why” of that turns out to be exceedingly clever, if not quite as much the how, but the show being television, Joan is understandably conflicted about being played by Salma Hayek Pinault, who dives into the role with juicy abandon. The episode features Annie Murphy as Joan, a human-resources worker with a big dull job and an equally bland boyfriend, who suddenly discovers that her life appears to be getting reenacted, in almost real time, on everyone’s favorite streaming service, something called “Streamberry.” Coming four years after Season 5, the latest batch bats roughly two out of five in terms of memorable episodes in a run that tilts more heavily toward horror, and falls short of feeling like everything the acclaimed show is cracked up to be.Īccentuating the positive, “Joan is Awful” is an almost instant classic. A new season of “Black Mirror” is always something of an occasion, especially since Netflix opportunistically scooped up the sci-fi-ish anthology series in 2015.
