Black Mirror: The Waldo Moment

Waldo is a blue cartoon bear that - voiced by comedian Jamie - interviews politicians for his TV show. Wouldn't surprise me if this actually happened soon-ish. He is rude and a very uncomfortable interviewer, especially to one Liam Monroe. The producers of Waldo's show even go as far as gate crashing small local events Monroe is holding.

And then Waldo himself is put up for election. Something Jamie, who wants nothing more to be recognized for himself rather than as a cartoon bear, only reluctantly agrees to. The situation gets really complicated after a one night stand Jamie has with another candidate.

Not all the episodes can be great and this one was just all right. Luckily, Liam Monroe is played by Tobias Menzies, who is very easy on the eyes.

Could this really be the last of the series? I am so hoping that Black Mirror will continue in the near future (ha!).

6/10
