Favourite Black Mirror episode?

Postby Jem Smith » 20 Jun 2023, 00:39

If you watch Black Mirror, which episode was your favourite?

Until recently I'd only seen a few episodes of season one and wasn't all that impressed. Then when Season 6 was released I started watching again, and the writing and production quality seems to be a lot better now, so I might go back and watch at least the previous season.

So, bearing in mind that I have only seen a fraction of the total episodes so far, my favourite has been Demon 79, the 5th episode of season 6. It's set in the 70s, about a young Indian girl living in London who accidentally summons a demon, and must perform 3 human sacrifices within 3 days to prevent the end of the world. I loved the casting, the dialogue, the sheer bonkers-ness of it all.

15 million credits, it gave Hollywood Daniel Kaluuya, and it introduce me to this song:

This episode is scary and heart breaking.


Nose dive- This episode is so scary because it is how people in China lives now

Bandersnatch- The first interactive episode where you decide what happens to the protagonist. It is more of a game than a movie.

San Junipero- The first happy ending episode

I really didn't like the Five Million Credits one, but that's thing with an anthology series, there's such a range that there's often something for everyone.

I just watched Bandersnatch the other night, and thought the interactive thing was nifty.

What do you think of National Anthem, The very first episode where a Beloved UK Princess got Kidnapped and the ransom asked by the Kidnapper is for the Prime minister to have sex with a pig in live stream. Whenever I try introducing Black Mirror to new people, I told them to avoid that episode since many people quit after it,

It's very UK specific satire, which I thought was kinda clever, but yeah I can see that people might find it super off putting.

If you have fast eyes, That prime minister is still having easter eggs. If the characters read newspaper or internet news, there is a news about him.

Having watched a couple more now I really liked Striking Vipers. It's nice that they changed things up from just having the worst case scenario all the time.

Its more of a collection of movies than a tv show. Each episode is stand alone. Worth watching.

I love the realistic theme of Nosedive" (Season 3, Episode 1). It depicts the modern society of social media and the pressure it puts on humans to constantly seek validation from another.
