Well the borders of sci-fi and fantasy have historically often been very vague.

Black Mirror is speculative fiction dealing with ways technology may impact humanity in the future. This story, while entertaining, wouldn’t fit at all.

honestly a fantasy genre black mirror episode could work if they do it right. It'd still be very different from all their other episodes but a Twilight Zone spin could be very cool.

Oh yeah I totally agree. It is just black mirror in particular was designed as something that is not just scifi fantasy, but something that is dangerously close to what we have IRL.

They did social credit apps before china did it for real. They had metalhead right before Boston dynamics spot got popularized. They have been right at the edge of what is possible and luckily nothing dystopian has happened.
