Black Mirror (Black Museum)

"Drug dealer buy Jordan, crackhead buy crack / And the white man get paid off of all of that" -Kanye West, "All Falls Down"

The most divisive episode of the season, and I can understand where the naysayers are coming from. The first of its three stories feels suited more for "Tales From the Crypt" than "Black Mirror", and its attempt at recontexualizing an old song with new meaning doesn't work. These tales of pain and separation, however, are framed to complement each other better here than with the similar "White Christmas", concluding with one of the season's better endgames.
