The Telegraph Chris Bennion

Season 7 Review: If the previous two series felt curiously flat, this one fizzes with invention, humour and love, and finds the joy in the darkest of corners. Brooker’s back. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The very best aspect of Black Mirror, the thing that makes the show so compelling, is that Brooker and his collaborators have developed a real knack for taking these seemingly far-flung narratives and making them feel extremely relatable. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The new episodes aren’t perfect. Brooker, who has joint or solo writing credit on every installment, is more successful at building devastating second acts than he is at earning his endings, and several episodes turn again and again to social media’s terrors, as if vigilante justice and mob mentality didn’t exist before hashtags.

Season 7 Review: The anthology series is putting us in a new twilight zone with its season 7 tales of technology run amok and raw emotion as the timeless driver of the human condition. Read full review

Season 6 Review: Black Mirror’s new stories are more concerned with changing the show’s reputation as a speculative science-fiction series than with actually critiquing technology. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Black Mirror is decidedly mixed, managing occasionally to find brilliance but most often dwelling in the mediocre. Read full review

Season 5 Review: Instead of manipulating our anxiety about technology—something Brooker often accomplished simply by activating viewers’ visceral disgust—the new episodes revel in the ridiculousness of our predicament, achieving a level of detachment that makes the show campy in the same way so many out-of-touch spectacles are campy.

We don’t need to describe every detail of this series. These few words legendary, iconic and masterful are enough to describe it!

The best series I ever watched!

Pretty decent show similar to a "Twilight Zone" feel with technology pros and cons in today's society.

Black Mirror is a fantastic weird sci-fi series. Season 1-4 were absolutely amazing with great acting, stories and endings. This series is really making me sweat and I feel disturbed.(I mean this in a good way) Season 1-4: 9/10

But then, season 5. What the hell happened? These episodes areBlack Mirror is a fantastic weird sci-fi series. Season 1-4 were absolutely amazing with great acting, stories and endings. This series is really making me sweat and I feel disturbed.(I mean this in a good way) Season 1-4: 9/10

But then, season 5. What the hell happened? These episodes are by Black Mirror standards just bad at almost every aspect. So I have to drop it down to a 8/10… Expand

This show captures that anthology essence of Twilight Zone but can be a bit too cruel at times.

Let’s be honest: this show has been terrible since going to Netflix. The newest season has abandoned all pretense at being anything other than a thinly-veiled and shallow attack on what that hack Brooker considers his political opponents. All the intelligence and nuance is long gone.
