Review: Derren Brown returns with fantastic Netflix special ‘Sacrifice’ (Includes first-hand account)

In this special, the internationally recognized mentalist and illusionist will try to take away a man’s prejudices against a certain immigrant group using his undercover psychological techniques that will inevitably involve some form of “sacrifice,” in an effort to create a “hero.” Brown will challenge this man’s beliefs in a clever yet subtle fashion.

Sacrifice is very relevant especially in the times that we are living in today. Derren proves yet again to be a master of psychological technique, illusion, and manipulation. Without giving too much away, there is a twist that will leave the audience spellbound at the end of Sacrifice, and rightfully so.

The Verdict

Overall, Derren Brown is spectacular in Sacrifice. This Netflix special was extremely well-written, gripping and Brown commanded the viewer’s attention the entire time. The whole team of people involved in this production did a superb job.

Fans that enjoyed Brown’s Miracle, will love this new special even more. Brown manages to keep his material fresh, innovative and thought-provoking. Sacrifice garners five out of five stars.
