Screw the technocracy—we’re reviewing Black Mirror in the proper order
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Tuesday, December 17. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Black Mirror (DirecTV, 9 p.m.): So DirecTV pulled a fast one on viewers last week, airing Black Mirror out of order and screwing with the heads of TV critics across the United States. And yet David Sims soldiers on, reviewing “The Waldo Moment” on the day he was supposed to review “The Waldo Moment” because no bastardly dystopian satellite provider is going to grind him down. The human spirit will triumph no matter what technology chooses to use against it.
REGULAR COVERAGE
Person Of Interest (CBS, 10 p.m.): Considering that the female lead in the best film of the year is a talking computer, it’s about time that The Machine got some in-depth backstory. Phil Dyess-Nugent wishes this episode was called “How I Met Your Motherboard.”
Awkward. (MTV, 10:30 p.m.): The show wraps its third season with a super-sized finale, giving Myles McNutt just a little more time to enjoy an Awkward. that’s under the guidance of creator Lauren Iungerich.
