Black Mirror is a science fiction TV series that explores the modern world in which technology can seriously impact lives. Each episode is a unique story, and comes with both a new set of characters/cast and a different sense of reality. This means you can watch it in whichever order you want!
If you haven’t watched Black Mirror because you’re afraid of commitment (or you watched Season 1, Episode 1 and you were scarred), don’t worry because I made a list of my favorite episodes per season that I believe are worth your time to watch.
The descriptions provided are straight from Netflix, so nothing is given away for you.
