Black Mirror - Season 5 Episode 03: Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too
The fifth season of the energizing and science fiction TV series Black Mirror, one of the Top Rated TV series that has made an incredible accomplishment among its past seasons. The series tells about the cutting edge innovation, its negative side and how it might be a wellspring of threat that can devastate our lives.

Paired with a late in the game rescue mission and an unsatisfying ending, "Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too" has nothing interesting or profound to say about pop music, girlhood, or technology.
By far my favorite episode of the season - and quite possibly of the entire series. Miley Cyrus delivers an amazing performance that seems to hit close to home for her.
Rice, Davenport, and Cyrus - two promising young talents and one of the world's biggest stars - are too talented for the middling roles they've been subjected to here.
It's a little bit of slapstick, a little bit of drama, all wrapped in a few broad messages about predatory music industry marketing practices. It also feels particularly off-brand for "Black Mirror."
What's amazing is the eery and sometimes hilarious meta references to Cyrus' real life. Her character and the real Ashley are differentiated by only a metallic wig, as you might remember from Hannah Montana.
Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too, may tell its story through a slightly different voice, but the story it imparts undoubtedly belongs in the cruel world of Black Mirror, and represents the best of Brooker's talent as a writer.
