The second episode of Season 7 of Black Mirror, titled “Bête Noire,” features Maria, a food researcher whose life is disrupted by her overconfident former classmate Verity, who makes bizarre claims that become true using a reality-jumping device. As viewers discover inconsistencies, such as differing names for a fast food chain between viewers, it is revealed that Netflix has released two versions of the episode, echoing the Mandela Effect. This clever, meta twist exemplifies Black Mirror’s unique ability to blur the line between fiction and reality, enhancing its exploration of technology’s horrors.
