Netflix released the three-episode fifth season of Black Mirror this week - but it seems the sci-fi anthology series is running out of steam.
A number of critics have negatively reviewed season five, with one episode, starring Miley Cyrus as a pop star, earning some of the worst reviews for any episode of Black Mirror.
Variety's Daniel D'Addario said two of the episodes were "fine" - but that Cyrus', titled "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too", is "the most majestically wrongheaded installment" of Black Mirror.

"Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too... doesn't just risk Black Mirror's big reputation, but clomps onstage and lights it on fire," he said.
