Screen buzzes, cracks.
I was reminded today that in British television, 'S' usually stands for 'Series' and not 'Season'. Anyway, onward to Series 4! Personally I think this series on marks where Black Mirror becomes forgettable to me, though there are still some standout episodes.
The episode follows Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons), a reclusive but gifted programmer and co-founder of a popular massively multiplayer online game who is bitter over the lack of recognition of his position from his coworkers. He takes out his frustrations by simulating a Star Treklike space adventure within the game, using his co-workers' DNA to create sentient digital clones of them. Acting as the captain of the USS Callister starship, Daly is able to order his co-workers around, bend them to his will, and mistreat them if they get out of line. When Daly brings newly hired Nanette Cole (Cristin Milioti) into his game, she encourages the other clones to revolt against Daly.
