Okay... I have to say after watching this episode I didn't quite know what to say about it in a review... and I just kind of stopped reviewing each episode on this blog... and I thought "ehhh I've got a few months prescheduled... I'll write it later." But I didn't...
And I thought I would re-watch it before writing this today... and I tried re-watching it and I just didn't want to. It's one of the more sad episodes of Black Mirror...and kind of one of the more realistic ones... so I feel like that makes it harder to watch.
So I don't really remember much of the episode... but I remember the basis of it. A comedian has this character that's a cartoon that makes some political commentary and he goes after this one politician and ends up gaining a lot of popularity.
I believe this politician had some sort of scandal... but he's been in office for so long he was still really popular although slightly corrupt... and this woman runs against him knowing she probably won't get in... but she could have a chance if no one ran against him... but Waldo ends up running... and instead of gaining a lot of popularity against the corrupt politician- he takes votes away from the woman that knows what she's doing.
There's also a relationship between the woman and the comedian that plays Waldo and he messes that up completely... and then he kind of doesn't really want to be in office and he tells people not to vote for Waldo... and then they fire him as Waldo and he loses his rights for the character and ends up homeless as Waldo gains more and more popularity.
So that is everything I can really remember about the episode... I'll try to re-watch the other episodes... but this one just isn't one I really wanted to re-watch... lol.
Byeee!
