The anthology sci-fi series Black Mirror – currently one of the top 50 TV shows of all-time going by user ratings on IMDb – has been resurrected after a two-year absence thanks to Netflix, who released six new episodes of the show last Friday.

The first episode, Nosedive, depicts a world that probably doesn’t seem that far off: people are endlessly rating each other’s social media (and real-life) interactions in order to approach a coveted 5-star rating.

Protagonist Lacie Pound, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, is at a 4.2 rating as the show opens. And her quest for perfection, as the episode title hints at, doesn’t exactly go well. 

At one point during her trip to a friend’s wedding, Lacie is forced to accept a low-end rental car that she would never have to take were she among the highly-rated elite.

And to emphasize just how shitty the car is, it happens to speak Czech.

There isn’t much that non-Czech-speaking viewers would have missed, but here’s the scene with English subtitles courtesy of YouTuber David Vávra:

The third season of Black Mirror premiered on Netflix in the US and UK on October 21, but has yet to see an official release in the Czech Republic.
