Black Mirror S7E4 Plaything ★★★☆☆

I thought this one was cute. Peter Capaldi is a great actor and I love watching him and I enjoyed the nods to Charlie Brooker’s early career in games magazines. The degree to which the cop is personally offended by and furious at this weird old man who is, while scattered and rambling, rather co-operative and happy to admit to his crimes, was also very funny to me. I do think the premise ends up being surprisingly shallow, but I shouldn’t really be surprised about that from Black Mirror at this point.
