While Black Mirror has told stories set in the past before—like the sparkly 1980s of “San Junipero”—season six enthusiastically embraces this idea, with “Beyond the Sea,” “Demon 79,” and “Mazey Day” taking place in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and early 2000s, respectively. This allows the show to focus on cultural themes specific to those time periods—and also paves the way for some killer, era-appropriate soundtrack tunes.
