Dating apps add a layer of frustrating abstractions to find soulmates, and the concept of “hanging a DJ” takes this concept to an absurd level, making you want to stand up to singles bars and find dating in the old fashioned way.

#6. “Nosive”
The first episode created by Netflix, “Nosedive,” has a bigger budget than anything else in the first two seasons, allowing you to see the differences on screen.
It’s as subtle as a hammer, Black mirror The most memorable episode.

In a world where your social ratings are all about, Blythe Dallas Howard is a young woman with a social score of 4.2 trying to get into a luxurious apartment that requires a score of 4.5, unable to bring pleasure out of her ruts with baristas and her colleagues.
From getting a replacement flight to renting a car, everything in the world of “Nosedive” is determined by your social score.
Lacie’s score starts to plummet, she starts to lose patience and realizes how fake and artificial everything is, she realizes she is being thrown out of society.

#5. “White Bear”
“White Bear” is one of them Black mirror It’s an early episode aired during Season 2, but to this day it has remained very intrusive thanks to the twisted ending that can be realized at any time.
The woman wakes up in the middle of an abandoned town, without recalling who she is or how she has made it there.
She appears to be stuck in a place where television signals dominate the hearts of the residents and filmed people who are not affected by her and several others.
Meanwhile, a strange masked man hunts her.
Most of the episode’s stories don’t seem to fit what we’re expecting from the episode now. Black mirroruntil the curtains are pulled back.
What is it Black mirror The most disturbing twist reveals that a woman, along with her fiance, lured a little girl to film the murder.
As legal punishment, she is now the charm of White Bear Justice Park, the charm of seeing the public relive her over and over again, with a perverted sense of justice, over and over again, repeating the same day as repeated by actors and park rangers.
Turning punishments for crimes into public sights is a common science fiction trick. Death Race 2000 In running man In Gamerhowever, participants on the “White Bear” show during the episode’s end credits remind us that while the series focuses on the dangers of technology, no machine is as sadistic as humans.
#4. “Your entire history”
Overanalysis is a form of paralysis Black mirror Push this idea to the limits along with “Your All History.”
In the not too distant future, citizens are embedded with microchip technology for them to permanently review them to record and preserve their first-person experiences.
When Toby has reason to believe that his wife is dishonest, he becomes obsessed with catching her by lying about her married couple’s injustice and suffers from the exchange she has at a party with her ex-love Jonas.
Scrutinizing all the visual cues and phrase turns in his memory bank, Toby becomes increasingly jealous and vengeful.
“Your whole history” uncomfortably explores how reviewing the past with such obsessive attention to detail can destroy your current relationship, especially if you are not inherently reliable in the first place.
Through Toby’s actions, we can get a glimpse of ourselves and, likewise, wonder if there is an app that we have allowed us to do so, we’ll run through our memories.
“Your All History,” an intense exercise of introspection that is not suppressed in the worst way, is a warning story about how the past infects your present and future in a way that is a little too close to your present and future.
#3. “USS Calister”
Black mirror It incorporates Star Trek ideas and turns them into commentary on toxic fans and the sense of ownership for the arts.
Our main character is a disgruntled programmer who survives his wildest powertrip fantasy in a virtual reality simulation that turns into Captain Kirk.
However, his crew is made up of perceptual beings based on the DNA of his colleagues, and what he ultimately does to them reveals how he uses fantasy to exercise fantasy emotions.
“USS Callister” has a lot of love, including solid special effects and Jesse Plemons’ outstanding performance.
But the best part about this episode is the dark, satirical analysis of Star Trek, casting this utopian franchise as a dystopian shelter for so-called fans who are heartless, dangerous, and completely misunderstood what they love.
Please don’t get me wrong. There’s a lot of fun with “USS Callister,” but it’s a very special way to see the hard edge of bad fans.
#2. “national anthem”
All these episodes will be after the series premiere Black mirror It still stands out as a profound and ominous look to modern social landscapes.
Instead of advanced concept science fiction, “The National Anthem” begins the series with a highly conviction that the British Prime Minister must respond to the royal temptation.
The temptier promises to release the victim if the prime minister is on TV live shows and has sex with the pig.
Like the concept, the best part about the “national anthem” is that it still understands the satire while playing, but it is fatally approaching the cognitive conspiracy.
Faced with pressure from the royal family and the court of public opinion, this PM must navigate unthinkable awful situation while the whole country waits and watches.
The tension is obvious as PM is running out of all his options.
Once you reach the ending and everything unfolds, the episode needs to consider a lot to you.
As much as the idea sounds comedic, the actual statement at the end of the episode sets the standard for the show’s dark beliefs about modern society.
