Black Mirror
Season 7 is great (especially Hotel Reverie), but what have you missed if you haven’t caught up on the previous ones yet? Here are the episodes from seasons 1-6 I think you should prioritize if you haven’t seen them yet. No spoilers. ☺️
Recommended Episodes for Anyone:
- Be Right Back (season 2)
In my opinion, the best episode of all. Touches on our grief, our connections, and what tech does with it. - Striking Vipers (season 4)
Video games, friendship, love, and identity. - The Entire History of You (season 1)
Would a perfect memory make us happier? - Nosedive (season 3)
What if the rating systems we use in the gig economy went everywhere? - San Junipero (season 3)
Beautiful love story for the ages, great aesthetics. - Beyond the Sea (season 6)
Drama about two astronauts far from home and their families.
As with any Black Mirror episode, many of these might wreck you emotionally, so chat me up if you want to process together and I’ll know exactly what you mean. 💖
Niche Recommendations:
- USS Callister (season 4) and USS Callister: Into Infinity (season 7)
For Star Trek fans. - Hang the DJ (season 4)
If you’re out in the dating world. - Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too (season 5)
This is the episode with Miley Cyrus. It’s a little less serious than most Black Mirror episodes and I mostly love it for the repurposed Nine Inch Nails music.
Enjoy!
