Black Mirror Season 6 Episode 2: Loch Henry” Summary
Among the less convincing episodes of Black Mirror Season 6, there is undoubtedly Lock Henry, a true crime that recalls, in some ways, the story of Jeffrey Dahmer told with the Ryan Murphy series on Netflix and which is not very exciting. The story is that of a couple who go to a small town in Scotland to shoot a documentary on nature but will become passionate about the story of a local in the city linked to mysterious and shocking events from the past. The cast includes John Hannah, Monica Dolan, Samuel Blenkin, Myha’la Herrold, and Daniel Portman.
The press is that of thriller/horror, complete with a final twist that adds some thrills. But we are in the world of Black Mirror: here, therefore, the story of the making of a true crime-style documentary becomes an unprecedented look at this same genre. It’s as if Brooker wanted to remind us that behind all these stories of murder and serial killers that we see there are victims, but also the families who survived them. But often, hungry for exclusives and unpublished documents, we forget about them.
Again, there is the theme of a cinematographic product, again the episode begins as a very normal drama film with a setting that is not at all sci-fi or surreal. And again Streamberry. The first two episodes are linked by the same streaming platform on which they focus: a pseudo-Netflix that touches us closely. Like Joan is awful, it was about the abuse of storytelling, which becomes so intrusive as to be terrifying; so, Loch Henry reminds us that there are often things in our lives that we wish were not recorded. In order not to see them again, as Jordan Peele’s Nope teaches (speaking of meta cinema). And instead, the protagonist of the episode will win a BAFTA for that documentary, despite recording the tragedy of his own family: there would be nothing to celebrate, and it is precisely here that Black Mirror returns to turn on a light bulb. What and how much of ourselves are we willing to sell for entertainment? From the form of technology, Black Mirror has moved on to content, that’s why it’s a yes.
