2013年《黑镜》第一季首播时，编剧查理布鲁克曾说，

“我没办法再假装这一切都与我无关。”

从赛伯朋克世界中严格阶级下的人性消磨，到死后上传意识到崭新的世界，它探向人性最深处，用惊世骇俗的想象力挖掘人生与科技的交叉路口埋藏的最大恐惧。

它让你不寒而栗，且无法在看完之后摆摆手说，“电视剧而已”。

The world was first introduced to the dark world of "Black Mirror" in 2013 when two episodes of the mind-bending series were screened at a TV festival for the first time. During an interview with The Guardian, Charlie Brooker, the show's creator and co-runner said, "I can't continue pretending to be a complete outsider."

Unpleasant, scary, and sometimes disturbing the series brings to life the worst possible nightmares the future may have for humanity. What's worse is that the plotlines are based on actual technological development. In just a snap, it can become real.

"Black Mirror" has been a sharp reminder that while technology makes life easier, a million things could and probably would go wrong. That is until Season 5 happened.

六年后，同样由他创作的第五季播出，网友在海报下方给出了这样的评价：

 

外媒甚至给出了这样的标题：

《黑镜》第五季，精致而愚蠢

无论在豆瓣、IMDB还是烂番茄，《黑镜》从第一季到第五季的分数都是一个不断下滑的曲线。

 

Netflix接手第三季后，疑问声就开始不断出现。

观众质疑剧集中那些圆满结局，认为其失去了前两季令人不寒而栗的凛冽与深刻。

对此，剧集作者这样解释：

“如果你想把喜剧结局变悲剧，随便打开一个新闻台就行了。”

"If you want to turn a happy ending into an unhappy one, simply flip to any news channel the moment the credits roll."

Charlie Brooker, series creator and co-runner

“如果每一集的结局都悲凉而充满虚无，这部剧就会变得太容易预测了。不知道你会得到什么才是这类单元剧的乐趣所在。”

"If every episode had a bleak, nihilistic ending, the series would be very predictable. Surely one of the delights of an anthology is not knowing what you're going to get."

Annabel Jones, series co-runner

That's how the showrunners tried to appease fans' doubts about the happy endings that begin to creep in on Season 3.

第五季的全部三集剧本依然出自查理布鲁克之手，探讨的领域分别是虚拟现实体验，社交媒体巨头，人工智能与音乐产业。

But happy endings were not a deal breaker. "San Junipero," for example, was the highest-rated episode in the entire series on IMDb. It cooked a nice story with incredible imagination of a tech-assisted future of life after… life, and managed to touch the audience emotionally with a seemingly happy ending.

However, in the fifth installment "instead of an underlying point powering the story's core, there is almost nothing," Kathryn VanArendonk from Vulture wrote.

Though still sitting at the intersection of humanity and technology, the new season barely touches on any of the two. The series has "moved from telling future stories to telling right-now stories," as Audra Schroeder from The Daily Dot remarked.

大家都或多或少同意，《黑镜》系列最好的点子，似乎已经在前几季用尽了。

 

The first episode, "Striking Vipers," is claimed by the BBC as "a total gem," but many viewers did not feel the same way. The story deals with a world where the line between reality and virtual reality is blurred, and sexual identity and love confused. A time when one can experience being in the body of the opposite sex.

这可能是本季评价最为两极分化的一集。

事实上，这集涉及的话题很多：对日常生活的倦怠、对伴侣的忠诚、对性取向的困惑，以及最重要的：当虚拟现实创造的世界逼真到一定程度，对现实生活产生的冲击与威胁。

在最后一个庞大的命题中，本集挑选了一个很小的切口：

当你在虚拟现实中的角色可以转换性别，它将怎样影响你对性别、性取向的认知。

“两眼一闭，世界与我无关”

CNN对这集给出了极高的评价，

"Like the best "Black Mirrors," it's extremely clever, probing questions about identity and happiness bleeding from the virtual world into the more mundane one."

听起来头头是道，却又似乎老生常谈。

能够引起争议和讨论，至少说明它探讨了一个真实可能的困境。

遗憾的是，故事只停留在了个体对于爱与性的困惑上。

其实沿着这个方向，我们还能提出很多问题，比如：

当虚拟世界中的快感远超现实，真实的性爱在现实中还有一席之地吗？

若人类因此而最终停止繁殖，世界将会怎样？

The episode puts a question, or a dilemma, up for discussion, opening the door for arguments and, of course, counterarguments. It failed, however, to take a step further in any direction, merely stopping at an individual level. It missed the mark in showing how virtual reality could influence people's sex lives, or imagining possible scenarios when human stops reproduction due to lack of interest in physical intimacy.

第二集讲了一个“伦敦市交通委提醒您：开车刷手机，亲人两行泪”的故事。

The second episode, "Smithereens," deals with social media addiction, but stops short of digging into the issue itself. It's more of a story about grief over the loss of a loved one resulting from addiction.

But the addiction to the virtual world is so real.

 

在人人都像胶水粘在手机上一样的世界里，太多可怕的事情可能发生。

相比之下，因为看手机出车祸失去至爱而绑架社交软件公司的员工要求和老板对话（且除去可圈可点的表演，也没对出什么话来），实在只是一个没有内核的故事罢了。

Much scarier things could happen in a world where everyone is glued to their phone other than a car accident caused by looking at your device, which sounds all too real these days.

 

第三集有明星“麦粒”出演，也包含最多科技元素，甚至有一些不错的点子。却几乎公认是本季中最差的一集。

孤独寂寞的青春期少女，万人追捧的女性偶像，公众形象与个人意志的反差，以及所有情节剧都少不了的反派人物。

当剧情进行到后半段，你会怀疑你在看少年冒险大电影。

表演流畅精彩，结尾真实励志，只是，这更像《ET》，而不是《黑镜》。

 

Starring Miley Cyrus, who admitted feeding into the story her own experience as a teen idol, the third episode, "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too," is basically a dull story about a lonely teenage girl with an equally lonely sister helping her idol get rid of the evil aunt/manager, with some sort of artificial intelligence conjured along the way.

It is easy to see the potential of what the plotline could have been, and easier to pin down all the missed opportunities but that's what they are… missed.

The second half, to a certain point, feels like "a hokey-teen-sci-fi-adventure," as BBC's Hugh Montgomery put it.

And the end, the teen idol beats her evil aunt, breaks free and becomes who she wants to be if it sounds familiar that's because it is… a regurgitated idea.

Not that there's anything intrinsically bad in the story. It's inspiring, actually. It's just, at some point you are not sure if you are watching "Hannah Montana" or "Black Mirror."

查理布鲁克说，《黑镜》并非关于科技。从第一季第一集那个惊世骇俗的首相与猪的故事起，它探讨的从来都是人性。

但这一次，我们似乎只是看了几个拍得不错，演得不错的故事。连所谓的人性也只是浮于表面，引不起太多思考。

它无关未来，无关恐惧，成了茶余饭后，又一部较为精致的剧集而已。
