I have collected and published a list of my favorite and best Black Mirror episodes from the Black Mirror series, which began on Channel 4 and was later purchased by Netflix, which may utilize satire at the most advanced levels.
Each episode of the Black Mirror series, which presents us in the most dramatic way the psychological and social difficulties that we may face as a result of the excessive development of science and technology, is independent from the others; additionally, each episode is strikingly different from the others. As a result, you can open the episode you want and watch it like a movie without missing any scenes.
In addition, the Black Mirror series has won a total of six Emmy Awards, including two for best TV film (USS Callister and San Junipero). Of course, the number of admirers globally is the finest prize for the series.
[S3E5] Men Against Fire
Men Against Fire, which was released at a time when augmented reality technology was just getting started and perhaps the first prototypes were being worked on, features army soldiers who see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, and whose conscientious senses have been appeased; and are tasked with destroying enemies known as roaches. However, when one soldier’s equipment fails, he begins to see and hear reality. This is the best Black Mirror episode, which could stand alone as an excellent film. Its story is not a superficial one. I will not go into further detail for those who have not watched it.
[S3E1] Nosedive
People in a utopia similar to the current situation award each other points, and the average of these scores determines social standing. Public service can be gained with this status. For example, if someone donates an organ, the individual who will receive the transplant is determined by this score. Our primary character is a woman who dresses wonderfully, speaks beautifully, tries to be pleasant, and helps others; in short, a woman who plays a great person. It’s a best Black Mirror episode about how this artificial status she has hit rock bottom in one day, which isn’t too far from our contemporary reality. It must be monitored at all times.
[S5E2] Smithereens
This Black Mirror episode, which is full of harsh criticism of the way we use social media today, is about a man who looks at his phone for a second in his car, gets into a traffic accident and loses his wife in the accident, and tries to contact the founder and CEO of the largest social media site, as well as the confrontation between the bottom and the top. A must-watch.
[S4E4] Hang the DJ
A dating program produces random connections, but the duration of these relationships is likewise random. It makes another match at the end of the period. These restrictions cannot be broken since they are monitored by gatekeepers. However, Frank and Amy begin to question the system. They are willing to give up everything for each other. The episode’s conclusion is unexpected and surprising. Although this episode is a little frightening, it is a huge success.
[S2E4] White Christmas
It’s a terrific Black Mirror episode that was originally filmed for Christmas but is now commonly referred to as part of the second season, a narrative within a story, and a great Black Mirror episode about how technology can disturb human psychology. It deals with the copying of consciousness, which is also the theme of later episodes, as well as the blocking of people in real life, which is similar to social media blocking. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to spend an hour.
