[This story contains spoilers from the Black Mirror season six episode “Mazey Day.”]
In Black Mirror’s “Mazey Day,” creator Charlie Brooker stretches his genre muscles while taking audiences to a more familiar kind of dystopic nightmare.
The story stars Zazie Beetz and Danny Ramirez as Bo and Hector, respectively, two paparazzi photographers who find themselves struggling to make ends meet. Bo has stepped back from the invasive grind of capturing the “perfect shot” — a means of grappling with how her (at times misogynistic) profession can rip apart its unwilling subjects for a paycheck.
But with rent due and Hector on her doorstep with a potential payout too good to be refused, Bo gets back in the game and the duo set out to capture what is actually happening with a young actress named Mazey Day (Clara Rugaard), who has seemingly imploded within Hollywood and disappeared from public eye. It’s one last job — in more ways than one.
