The Season 3 " finale " ofBlack Mirrorintertwines two twisted , technical riffsinto one prolonged mystery . At 89 minutes , it ’s reasonable to call " Hated in the Nation " the firstBlack Mirrormovie . Creator Charlie Brooker thinks of it more as experiment in creative fusion .
" I do n’t incline to see at the news and go , well I ’ve got to do something about the climb of Donald Trump , say , or Samsung just launched their new fridge - Deepfreeze that can run and take the baby to school,“Brooker told Thrillist . For " Hated in the Nation , " the writer correct out to tell a story about societal media fury .

dress in a nigh - hereafter London , " Hated in the Nation " stick with Karin ( Kelly Macdonald ) , a no - shit police force detective , and her tekki trainee Blue ( Faye Marsay ) through the probe of a string of unexplainable deaths . Brooker wire - walks through the procedural aspects of Karin and Blue ’s casework . They interview subjects , scrutinize evidence , and watch over the second hand tick as they wait for autopsy story . Without the character of similar Britishpolice stories likeHappy Valley , " Hated in the country " often limps from reveal to reveal . But when the true statement get along to light , Brooker taps a nervure of inevitable future tense .
The net is freedom , exemption is expression , and expression is volatile . At any given moment , there ’s liquefied rage explode out of a sac of societal medium landscape painting . The venting all looks the same ; a cat can call me human garbage for not namingDeadpoolone ofthe safe movies of the year , then deface the prexy ’s Facebook bulwark in the same breath . " Hated in the country " focuses on a # DeathTo hashtag , where participants snaffle digital pitchforks and flashlight to shame anyone who steps out of product line . The # DeathTo " game " shocks Karin . She clear never searched#DeathTo on Twitter , where it burn well beforeBlack Mirrorhit Netflix .
In 2013 , Justine Saccotweeteda now - infamous leave before boarding a carpenter’s plane : " Going to Africa . Hope I do n’t get AIDS . Just kidding . I ’m white ! " When she landed , she launch her timeline flooded with shame , insults , and calls for punishment from Twitter user . Brooker wonders in his mystery script : If given the chance , would the righteous pack execute Sacco on the spot ?
In " Hated in the Nation , " words become actions and a " hivemind " takes a literal physique . In 2013 , researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciencescreateda functional RoboBee , a quarter - sized robot that can fly and " see " through visual modality sensors . The scientist hope to see the RoboBee take over the line of work of pollinate crop around the world . Brooker seized the idea as the ultimate prick for on-line violence . In Karin and Blue ’s futurity , the " bee poke " ( har har ) fulfill Harvard ’s ecological ambition . A hacker weaponize the buggers by recalibrating their pollination targets to the names in the # DeathTo hashtag . And Sacco retrieve mudslinging was bad .
That time may never get along , which is how " Hated in the Nation " winds down . In the same way bureaucracy and technophobia are the ultimate gun trigger for the mass execution of London - ground Twitter users – never flip the killing - electric switch provide by the enemy , the great unwashed ! – the flaring up of societal media pack ca n’t be controlled by the mass in office . Freedom requires ethical ego - policing , and base on how things are going so far , the " culprit " will almost always get off .
" Hated in the Nation " end abruptly . Karin testifies in a auditory sense to what take place over those three horrific days . The hacker go liberal in a alien locus ( Gran Canaria , off the coast of Spain , to be exact ) . gamey , rattle by the incident , fakes her own death to hunt down the perpetrator – and actually finds him . If the actual authorities ca n’t manoeuvre through their terrorist - laden world , it ’ll take … ego - policing . We do n’t acknowledge if Blue bewitch the cyber-terrorist , or what she ’ll do when she does . But she ’s not hold back for the cosmos to take possession of the problem , and it might be a object lesson to us all .
