All six new episodes of Charlie Brooker's dystopian Netflix anthology feature female protagonists. It seems Black Mirror knew its viewers could use a dose of female heroes before closing out 2017. "Hero" is admittedly an odd word to use when describing a Black Mirror character, since the series traditionally welcomes viewers into some version of a bleak, nihilistic world of techno-paranoia and ultimately spits them out with a devastating shock-twist. It needs to be made clear that labeling the characters as heroes in no way equates to a happy ending: their plight is what threads these women together. Whether they are survivors in the traditional sense or not, they each reach a moment in their story where they are challenged to reclaim their power, stand up to some level of tyranny and fight to write their own ending.
