When the science fiction anthology series "Black Mirror" moved to Netflix ahead of its third season in late 2016, it was clear that things were slightly different from how they were when the show was airing on the U.K. network Channel 4.

The episode leans heavily on the CBS show's sense of humor, which doesn't always work -- until making a tonal pivot in the fourth act that rings hollow. It's not a terrible way to spend an hour; it's just a disjointed and forgettable one.
"Fun and Games" takes its title from the fact that the victim is a member of Kasie Hines' gaming group. The remainder of the group thus go from potential suspects to potential victims themselves, with plenty of geek stereotypes and bad jokes therein. What makes the episode better is...
