Season 6 Review:
I’ve noted that this is an improvement, but the episodes vary quite widely in quality from worst (“Mazey Day”) to best (“Beyond the Sea,” probably, on the strength of Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, and especially Kate Mara’s performances). .... Brooker is trying new things with his art and with his characters, and even when they’re awful, we more clearly see the humans within the machine.

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 3 Review:
The series might be made up of disparate stories that seemingly have nothing to do with each other, but the more time you spend ruminating on Black Mirror and turning it over in your head, the more those stories start to seem like part of the same thing, a world we’re all marching toward, like it or not. The episodes work sans context; they’re better when consumed as different viewpoints on the same unnamable future.

Season 3 Review:
The real genius of Black Mirror lies in its dissection of humanity--how our emotions, compulsions and fears inform our use of technology. Season 3 masterfully carries on this tradition, skewering Internet vigilantism, invasion of privacy and the false personas we present on social media.
