Except, instead of the real Hayek, it’s a computer-generated likeness licensed out by the “From Dusk Til Dawn” actress.Joan learns that she has no legal recourse after signing her rights away by accepting the terms and conditions of the app, and takes another route to solving the problem by doing something outrageous in hopes that Hayek objects to her image being used in such a way.Cue the church scene.

There is one huge one that I had to come to terms with, and made me ask myself, ‘Do I really want to do this? Am I going to get in trouble?’’”‘Joan Is Awful’ co-stars Michael Cera, Ben Barnes and Rob Delaney.

Black Mirror has arrived on Netflix to mostly positive reviews, with critics describing the new episodes as “thrilling” and “scathing and sadistic as ever”.Charlie Brooker’s dystopian sci-fi anthology series returned with five new episodes yesterday (June 15), which were previously described as the “most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected yet”.Many reviews have praised Brooker’s winning formula of twists and turns while also recognising some fresh new approaches. “Expect incredible turns from Paapa Essedieu, Salma Hayek and Aaron Paul – even if this isn’t its best season,” critic Lucy Mangan wrote in a four-star review for The Guardian.“Netflix’s perversely prescient dystopian drama will once again ruthlessly mine your existential angst,” she wrote, though cast some doubt over whether any new additions will “stick in the mind” as much as the series’ most loved and maligned episodes.Empire Magazine also awarded the new series four stars, adding that it “eases you into” a somewhat fresh approach from Brooker.

As Netflix viewers finished tuning into the first episode of Black Mirror's new season, many soon took to social media to make the same comment.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic The first episode of “Black Mirror’s” new, sixth season features a tableau with which its viewers will likely be intimately familiar: A couple, sitting on their couch, deciding what to stream in the evening. This being “Black Mirror,” their choice of programming will have mind-bending consequences; this being latter-day “Black Mirror,” it’s also a reflexive comment on its medium. In “Joan Is Awful,” a woman (Annie Murphy) watches a series that seems directly cribbed from her life, one in which she’s played by Salma Hayek Pinault and in which every interaction she has is blown up to show her to her worst advantage. Everyone else watches it too: Such is the power of the fictional-but-barely “Streamberry,” a service with Netflix’s aesthetic, reach, and industry-conquering ambition.
