In an interview with Netflix’s Tudum, series creator Charlie Brooker teased, “You can expect a mix of genres and styles.” Charlie also added, “We’ve got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional.”
