For her part, Salma Hayek in her role as Salma Hayek is funny and tragic. The actress embodies the painful duty of actors to film situations even against their will, all for the benefit of corporations like Netflix, according to the vision of the sixth episode of Black Mirror.
Actress Annie Murphy is charming as a woman whose life takes a severe turn. If something has distinguished Black Mirror from its origins, it is the stories where an individual is suffocated and cornered by a desperate situation that surpasses him. In that sense, Murphy fully fulfills the purpose of making us feel her own despair.
There’s no reason to miss Black Mirror, the Netflix series that will surely give a lot to talk about in the following days. It is a necessary product to understand where the world is going and where we are going as a species. It’s chilling, but it’s also a lot of fun.
