As the up and coming Netflix original series Black Mirror has taken the population of avid-watchers by storm, the satirical and oftentimes breathtaking episodes have clearly proven to be quite binge-worthy. As each episode is evidently unlike the one which precedes it, watchers are able to jump around within the series as they please and eventually find which episodes stimulate them most.
Here are 7 episodes that everyone should watch:
1. Arkangel (Season 4, Episode 2)
While every mother and father develops their share of paranoia when raising children, this episode takes the term “helicopter parent” to a level never seen before.
2. Hang the DJ (Season 4, Episode 4)
In a world where each potentially romantic relationship is coined with an “expiry date,” Amy and Frank (a romantic pair faced with a sell-by date) put their heads together to find out if this information is a blessing or a curse.
3. Be Right Back (Season 2, Episode 1)
When faced with a large amount of grief after the death of her husband, widow Martha commemorates the memory of her loved one in a nontraditional manner (to say the very least).
4. The Entire History of You (Season 1, Episode 3)
In our present lives, memories fade as time passes. In this episode, characters are given the opportunity to “re-do” or flashback to certain areas of their lives, and this access is what inevitably tears apart their relationships with one another.
5. Playtest (Season 3, Episode 2)
A nomadic man looking to find his place struggles to grasp the difference between reality and fantasy when used as a “guinea pig” in a virtual game test.
6. Nosedive (Season 3, Episode 1)
Although it’s a tough reality to face, opinions of others have their way of affecting people personally. In a game where numbers matter, Lacie Pound will go to any extent to raise her social rating.
7. Crocodile (Season 4, Episode 3)
When made responsible for keeping several different secrets under the radar, a recalling device causes Mia’s unwanted memories to surface within the presence of an insurance investigator.
