Black mirror Has become a leading Sci-Fi anthology series of the streaming age.
The show has run for seven seasons with plenty of memorable episodes, so the good human beings at Giant Freakin Robot wanted to give you their spikes for the absolute best.
And to get some of you furious in the comments right out the gate, we do not include “San Junipero.” Or “White Christmas.” Good chapters, but they did not make the cut.
Less surprise though, you will not see Bandersnatch pop up.
#9. “Black Beast”
Seven seasons in and “Betê Noir” proves that Black mirror Still being able to give out a mind -bending classic.
Playing with the mock memory phenomenon called Mandela effect, the episode maximizes to be on Netflix by random change with all watches.
When you first watch Maria’s story, a chocolator, little things are away in memory once his old -pupil, Verity, joins the company.
Did her boyfriend work Barnies, or Bernies? Wait, what name was the last time you watched the episode?
There are other changes within “Betê Noir,” including dialogue lines, which makes it a big experiment for Netflix and makes the episode already one of the best of the series.
That is even before the spin, which goes further than the typical Black mirror A chapter, and just like the debate over Berenstain Bears or Berenstain Bears, the debate over whether this is a good end, or a poor end, is furious among fans.
#8. “Ordinary people”
If you had to pay unreasonable subscription fees to keep a loved one alive, would you stop on nothing to scratch the cash, or count your losses and move on before your financial despair get the best of you?
When Amanda falls unexpectedly and falls into a coma, a representative of Rivermind Technologies contacts her husband, Mike, who has the solution to the couple’s problems.
Given a second chance at Life thanks to an experimental synthetic brain tissue implant, Amanda loves that he can get back to how things were.
Here is the kicker: with every month passing, the subscription layers, and pricing, changing, causing myriad complications to the user interface.
“Ordinary people” show how life-changing medical advances cause more harm than well-being when the technology behind it falls into the wrong hands, leading to a moral dilemma that no honest person should have to face.
As Mike turns to reproach himself for money to keep up with the mounting costs behind Rivermind implant, his good intentions do not match the stress put on his relationship, making you seriously consider how you would operate under a similar set of circumstances.
Offering an unpleasant insight into what choices we have to make when a sick person has a second chance to live a fulfilling life, “ordinary people” will make you question how far you are ready to go when two options are introduced just as terrible: the death of a loved one, or a layered subscription services.
#7. “Hang the DJ”
Dating apps have added a frustrating layer of pull to find your fellow -party, and “hanging the DJ” elevates this concept to absurdity levels that will make you want to hit up the singles bars and find the company’s old -fashioned road company.
Matching does not easily “hang the DJ,” as Frank and Amy discover that they are supposed to have a 12 -hour relationship according to the dating app known as coach.
While the couple struck him immediately, they quickly match new suitors because Coach is looking for the perfect level of compatibility between his subjects.
Frank and Amy are wondering if the app is rigged against as they go through the offers with less than desirable options each time they are set up with a new companion.
Ultimately, both decide to find out how to break the circle so they can reunite and experience true love.
“Hanging the DJ” wins his keeping thanks to his willingness to give real human emotions against a non -soul algorithm that may not necessarily get your best interest in mind.
Love is something that cannot be quantified through statistics or even logic.
That is, the fact that a computer says you are compatible with someone, does not mean it’s fine.
A dreadful and absurd one on the future of dating, “Hang the DJ” will certainly make you think twice about what it means to change properly, and consider testing your luck in the real world where you can make these choices for yourself.
#6. “Nedive”
The first chapter produced by Netflix, “Nedive” has more than any of the first two seasons, and you can see the difference on the screen.
It’s as sparingly as a hammer, but it’s also one of Black mirror Most memorable chapters.
As social media continues to expand in popularity, it is more relevant today than it was in 2016.
In a world where your social score is everything, Bryce Dallas Howard Playing Lacie, a young girl with a social score of 4.2 trying to enter a luxury apartment that requires a score of 4.5, and no amount of wishes with the Barista or her colleagues can get her out of her groove.
Getting a new flight to rent a car, everything in the world of “nedive” is determined by your social score.
When a lacie score begins to dive as she begins to lose her patience and realize how fake and artificial everything is, she is thrown outside the society.
The result is a finale that is tragic, but strangely optimistic compared to the usual decline endings that Black mirror known for.
#5. “White Bear”
“White Bear” is one of Black mirror Earliest episodes, broadcasting during season 2, but to this day, it has remained very annoying thanks to the Twist finale that could come true any day.
A woman wakes up in dormant town center with no memory of who she is or how she arrived there.
It appears to be stuck in a place where a TV signal controls residents’ minds to film and a few others unaffected.
All the time, a strange man hidden hunting him down.
Most of the episode’s story does not seem to be in conjunction with what we expect now from an episode Black mirroruntil the curtain is withdrawn.
In what might be Black mirror The most annoying twist, it is revealed that the woman, along with her fiancé, kidnapped a little girl and filmed her murder.
As a legal penalty, she is now the attraction at White Bear Justice Park, an attraction where the public has to watch it re -live the same day, over and over again, with the help of Park actors and keepers, in a perverted sense of justice.
Turning the penalty for crimes into public glasses is common sci-fi trope, from 2000 Death Race to Running Man to Camber.
#4. “The whole history of you”
Over -alysis is a type of paralysis, and Black mirror pushes this idea to the fullest with “the whole history of you.”
In the near future, citizens are being implanted with microchip technology that records and stores their first -person experiences forever.
When Toby has a reason to believe that his wife has been unfaithful, he becomes obsessed with holding him in lie for his marital impropriety, and is upset over exchanges she has at a party with her ex girlfriend, Jonas.
Scrutinizing every visual clue and turning a phrase in his memory bank, Toby becomes increasingly jealous and venous, as he reveals truths that he is not ready or ready to accept.
“History of You” uncomfortably explores how reviewing the past with such obsessive attention has the potential to destroy your current relationships, especially if you are not a person who is in the first place.
Through Toby’s behavior, we get a glimpse of ourselves, and wonder if we would likewise scroll through our own memories if we had an app that allowed us to do so.
Intensive exercise in unobstructed interference is the worst type of road, “whole history” is a cautionary story of allowing the past to infect your present and future in ways that are a little too close to home.
#3. “USS Callister”
Black mirror takes the idea of Trek Star and turns it into a commentary for poisonous fans and their feelings of ownership of art.
Our main character is a dissatisfied programmer who lives out his wildest power trip fantasies in a virtual -reality simulation where he has to do as Captain Kirk.
But his crew contains sensual beings based on his coworker DNA, and what he does ultimately reveals how he uses fantasy to exercise his pitiful feelings.
“USS Callister” has a lot to love, including solid special effects and standout performance of Jesse Plemons.
But the best thing about this chapter is her dark satirical analysis of Star Trek, casting this utopian franchise as a dystopian shelter for so-called, heart-free, dangerous, and completely misunderstood fans the thing They profess to love.
Don’t get us wrong, there’s plenty of fun to be found in “USS Callister” but its hard look on bad fans is what makes it so special.
#2. “The national anthem”
All of these chapters later, the premiere of the series of Black mirror Still standing out as an intense and annoying look at the modern social landscape.
Instead of high concept science fiction, “The National Anthem” begins the series with a story too believing about the British Prime Minister having to respond to royal kidnapping.
The hijacker promises to release the victim if the Prime Minister goes on live TV and has sex with a pig.
Because as bonkers with the concept, the best thing about “the national anthem” is how deadly he is approaching his demented plot in continuing to understand the satire in place.
Facing pressure from the royal family and the Court of Public opinion, this PM must inform a terrible unimaginable situation while the whole country stays and watches.
The tension is evident as the Prime Minister depletes all his options.
Once you reach the finale and everything finally played out, the episode leaves you with a lot to consider.
As much as the idea sounds humorous, the actual statement by the end of the chapter sets the standard for the show’s bleak beliefs about modern society.
#1. “Fifteen million virtues”
What if your entire lifestyle was determined by how much “likes” you got on -lein?
That is the basic idea behind “fifteen million virtues,” and Black mirror A chapter where overworked underclasses must do things like energy production through still bikes in exchange for “merits,” or money.
In this story, the future Maiden Star Daniel Kaluuya spends almost all her virtues so that a talented woman can enter a talent competition on television.
When things do not go as he planned, he realizes that he may have to take harsh steps to repair this broken system.
Fifteen million virtues do it to the top of our Black mirror Chapters list because it now feels like the world we live in.
Warping fame through social media perceptions in our lives has turned the dreams of fame into the only apparent escape of capitalism slavery.
In a world where social capital translates into actual wealth, Fifteen million virtues argue that such a system cannot be beaten because it will even find a way to take advantage of the rabies against it.
Basically, there Network. And Network Also amazing.
With excellent packing, tension, performances, and wages, Fifteen million virtues are ranks like the best chapter of Black mirror.
