The recent season of Black Mirror launched on Netflix not too long ago and it kicks off with the episode dubbed 'Joan is Awful' that is based on a platform dubbed Streamberry. It is designed to reflect Netflix and the website functions as a dystopian anthology where the character in the episode finds that her entire life has been accurately adapted to a drama series.
Although Streamberry is designed to be a parody of Netflix, designed with the same brand visual and layout. Now, the platform makes it a reality as fans are able to experience their own alternate reality streamer by adding photos of themselves to be transformed into their own version of "Joan is Awful."
