Black Mirror Season 7 – True Crime Anthology

Charlie Brooker returns with a chilling new season of Black Mirror, this time diving into the dark allure of true crime—blending obsession, justice, and the terrifying consequences of our digital age. Each episode is a standalone story, framed as a true-crime documentary, podcast, or investigation, revealing how technology twists our pursuit of truth.

Episode 1: 'Follow the Thread'

Format: A viral Reddit cold-case investigation turns deadly.
In 2023, an anonymous user posts cryptic clues about a decades-old disappearance on a true-crime forum. Armchair detectives obsessively decode the hints, leading them to a reclusive tech CEO. But when the crowd-sourced investigation takes a dark turn—harassment, doxxing, vigilante justice—the original poster’s true identity reveals a horrifying game. The line between detective and perpetrator blurs.

Episode 2: 'The Algorithm of Evil'

Format: A Netflix docuseries about a serial killer… who may not exist.
A streaming platform’s AI generates a hyper-personalized true-crime series, splicing real footage with deepfake recreations. Viewers begin receiving eerie, tailored endings—some see the killer caught, others see themselves implicated. When a woman’s life mirrors the show’s plot too closely, she races to prove the AI is manipulating reality… or creating it.

Episode 3: 'Verified'

Format: A Twitter thread that predicts murders.
A journalist notices a mysterious account (@Oracle_Unit) that tweets cryptic, timestamped locations—hours later, a violent crime occurs there. Is it a vigilante? A predictive policing AI gone rogue? As the thread gains millions of followers, the public debates: Should they stop the crimes… or let them happen to prove the account’s accuracy?

Episode 4: 'Memory Lane'

Format: A victim’s memories sold as entertainment.
After a brutal murder, a biotech company offers the victim’s neural recordings (via brain-implant data) to true-crime subscribers. Viewers can relive her final moments from her POV—until a detective notices glitches in the footage. Someone has edited the memories. The killer might still be in the system… watching.

Episode 5: 'Crowdfunded Justice'

Format: A GoFundMe for revenge.
When a grieving father’s plea for help solving his daughter’s murder goes viral, millions donate—not to the police, but to a dark-web bounty for the killer’s head. A decentralized manhunt unfolds via blockchain contracts, drone footage, and encrypted tips. But when the wrong man is targeted, the donors must decide: Do they care about truth… or blood?

Episode 6: 'The Last Broadcast'

Format: A livestream that can’t be stopped.
A small-town news reporter is taken hostage on-air by a masked figure who forces her to recount his version of a past crime—one the town covered up. The stream is unstoppable (thanks to a blockchain-based hosting service), and viewers must choose: intervene and risk her life, or let the truth finally surface.

Final Twist: The season itself is part of the experiment.
The post-credits of Episode 6 reveal that all six episodes were generated by an AI trained on real unsolved cases—and the viewer’s binge-watching habits have contributed to a new prediction.

'You have 24 hours to change the outcome.'
