Ever go to a restaurant, order a "small" fry, and dig into the bag only to discover you got more than expected? Black Mirror's "Bête Noire" is extra fries at the bottom of the bag. Man, this story was shockingly infectious with intrigue and suspense.
Siena Kelly, who plays Maria, remarkably portrays a suspicious co-worker who becomes unraveled at the sight of supernatural events happening before her eyes. This episode tells a story about the harmful effects that rejection can have on a person's psycho-emotional wellness. In this story, a combination of technology, mystery, and revenge comes together to light a powder keg of explosive drama.
This story is magnetic from start to finish making it hard to pull away from the uptick of inexplicable chaos happening around Maria. Maria finds herself at the bad end of revenge from Verity, a former classmate who manipulates events unbeknownst to others and exacts retribution. This episode is a veritable thriller and like extra fries at the bottom of the…well you know the rest.
