The Big Picture After wrapping up its sixth season with a horror story revolving around no technological babble whatsoever, Black Mirror is taking yet another step out of the sci-fi box it has put itself into. Its streamer, Netflix, has recently announced that the series will be pulling a first in its upcoming seventh season in the form of a sequel episode.
Release Date December 4, 2011 Cast Douglas Hodge , Brian Pettifer , Jessie Cave , Hannah John-Kamen Main Genre Sci-Fi Seasons 6 Website http://netflix.com/blackmirror Studio Netflix “The Waldo Moment” Targets Clownish Political Figures Perhaps no one can explain quite what we mean here better than Brooker himself, who once spoke to Vulture about how former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson served as an inspiration for “The Waldo Moment.
The problem is that Waldo doesn’t actually represent any kind of alternative. He has no platforms and no actual opinions on any kind of policy. He merely points his finger - or, rather, his animated penis - at his rivals and laughs at them. Waldo makes a mockery of the entire political system without actually promoting any kind of debate.
“At the time, I thought that was one episode that I didn’t really nail, didn’t get the stakes right,” Brooker told The Hollywood Reporter in a 2016 interview. “But if you look at that now, it’s really quite terrifying. It’s more prescient than I realized. He’s an anti-politics candidate who’s raucous and defensive, and that’s all he is, and he offers nothing. He insults everyone, and they lap it up because they’re so sick of the status quo.
