Summary
In this Decoding TV episode, David Chen and Roxana review, recap, and discuss season 6 episode 3, “Beyond the Sea.”
This is probably Black Mirror’s most ambitious episode of the season. But how well did the episode explain its sci-fi premise? How well do its high-profile stars like Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, and Kate Mara acquit themselves in these roles? And what did we make of this episode’s ending? Listen to hear us discuss all this and more!
Over the course of the next week, we’ll release one final episode covering episodes 4-5 (“Mazey Day” and “Demon 79”).
We try to broadcast our conversations live when we can, so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to catch us when we go live.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. David Chen popping in here after we recorded the episode. We did get a couple emails |
| 0:04.8 | at decodingtvagemo.com pointing out that the KALO years, which I discussed in the first episode, |
| 0:11.0 | covering Black Mirror Season 6, it's a fake documentary in the Black Mirror universe. The KALO |
