I got roped into watching American Horror Stories during Halloween, and one of them was actually pretty good because it was basically an episode of Black Mirror. Like, I forgot I was watching AHS.

To explain it very badly as to not spoil it:

Elon Stark puts Pepper Potts into ~~J.A.R.V.I.S~~ an Alexa and "she" falls in love with him. The story has elements of AI-generated deep fakes, isolation madness (in story, there's a covid-like lockdown which is plot relevant), unethical AIs, and has an ambiguous ending straight out of BM.

I think what gave it the Black Mirror vibe was that it seemed to extrapolate on current tech trends, dial them to 11, and shows how it plays out.

Can't believe I'm recommending an episode of AHS, but this one legitimately surprised me.

It stars Dan from Veep and I'm pretty sure Gwyneth Paltrow recorded all of her lines for the episode without getting out of her car.
