Black Mirror season 4: MIND-BLOWING theory reveals insane Game of Thrones link - Read here
BLACK MIRROR'S fourth season is upon us, but now one mind-blowing theory has suggested that the Netflix show is actually linked to Game of Thrones.
Trailer: Black Mirror season four to return to Netflix
One YouTuber has taken a look at the bleak nature of Charlie's Brooker's hit show, noticing how it evokes "pity and fear" throughout its episodes.
Nerdwriter1 made an essay in the form of a 7.50 minute long video, investigating the notion of tragedy.
Using Aristotle's long-standing theory suggests that by the end of the drama, the video-maker explains that viewers should have a feeling of "catharsis" (relief of emotions) upon conclusion of an episode.
He notes that shows like Black Mirror and Game of Thrones no doubt have endless tragedies woven throughout.
Using the now infamous Red Wedding as an example, Nerdwriter1 notes that the viewer does not have a feeling of relief at the end of the episode as it concludes abruptly.
This appears to be a running theme throughout the universe of Black Mirror, with only one instalment ending upon somewhat of a resolution - San Junipero - whereas Game of Thrones does tend to have a bigger sense of relief, with moments such as Ramsay Bolton's (played by Iwan Rheon) death.
In his conclusion, it seems that the reason Black Mirror is considered one of the bleakest shows on television because it happens to deny viewers of the "required" catharsis noted in Aristotle's famous theory.
Fans can expect a similarly gruesome fourth season if the first-look teaser is anything to go by.
Little is known of the series head of its return apart from six tantalising episode titles which are: "Arkangel", "USS Callister", "Crocodile", "Hang the DJ", "Metalhead" and "Black Museum".
Black Mirror is expected to land on Netflix later this year.
