"Loch Henry," the second episode of Black Mirror's newly-released sixth season, juxtaposes a dark true-crime tale against the natural beauty of the Scottish lochs. Starring Samuel Blenkin and Myha'la Herrold, the episode takes place in documentary filmmaker Davis's (Blenkin) hometown near Loch Henry, a once-popular tourist destination that was forgotten after authorities discovered that a serial killer had been kidnapping and torturing visitors. For this slow-burn episode, Black Mirror turns its satirical lens on true crime itself, as Davis, his girlfriend Pia (Herrold), and his childhood friend Stuart (Daniel Portman) start filming a documentary about the tragic event in the hopes of bringing back tourists.
The episode is filled with stunning views of the Scottish Highlands, so it's no surprise viewers have been wondering whether Loch Henry is a real tourist destination (thus fulfilling the episode's theme and drawing us into the ethical ouroboros-like experience of Black Mirror's thought experiments). For anyone tempted to check out TripAdvisor, here's what we know about the filming locations for the episode.
