Black Mirror Creator Charlie Brooker Asks: Did You See ‘Barnies’ or ‘Bernies’?

Blue dress or gold dress? “Yanny” or “Laurel”? Now that the Black Mirror Season 7 episode “Bête Noire” has officially entered the chat, creator Charlie Brooker poses another question of perception that will divide a new generation: Is it Bernies or Barnies? Did we all see the same hat? If Brooker’s not going to settle things for us, we’ll just have to debate about it on the internet. And rewatch the episode.

Black Mirror Season 7 is now streaming. Only on Netflix.
