    Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing

    Black Mirror, a show about technology turning against people and the phenomenon of mass media and a lack of personal or private identity is nowhere exemplified in all of its horrors than Season 3 of Black Mirror.

The eerie, discomforting feeling of the show is at its peak in season three, masterfully written with amazing camerawork while still holding a message and social statement about our society, the reality of a technological dystopia is frightening.

    "Nosedive" is an amazing episode out of season three that I would recommend all to begin with if starting with season three. The story follows a young woman in a world where social media controls everything, people with more likes (based on a 5-star system) get access to better homes, cars and jobs compared to someone with lower likes.

    "Shut Up and Dance" is another great episode, speaking on Cyber Security and "San Juanipero" excels in writing and story, it is perhaps (arguably) the best episode out of the entire series.

    Black mirror Season 3 is unique in the sense that it is one of the few shows out there that both makes you horrified and happy, recommendable to anyone into a good story-based show, into dystopia, or futurology.    … Expand

    Preserves the influence of Twilight Zone with his critic and fears to technology, with stories with ironic, collapsing ending. Pay attention to Shut up and dance.

    Это, пожалуй, самый лучший, интересный и разнообразный сезон.
    Почти каждая серия - новый жанр, к которому приплетён триллер. Тут и детектив, мелодрама, боевик, ужасы. Куча вариаций того, какое будущее нас может ждать и как будут развиты те или иные технологии.    Это, пожалуй, самый лучший, интересный и разнообразный сезон.

    Just as good as previous seasons...now with bigger budget it was nice to see what they have been able to do.Kinda loved that this season felt kind of more happier then previous ones. Nosedive and San Junipero didnt leave me depressed after watching them hehe but then on the other hand Shut up and dance was totally opposite. Lets hope season 4 is as good as this one.

    'Black Mirror' is that rare example that a TV show doesn't need to have a full story throughout seasons to be great, magnificent entertainment. And it is actually pretty scary and bold to explore technology not in the colorful way it is being promoted.

    Netflix's acquisition of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror allows for genre-hopping. In this case, it works as it allows for more complex ideas to be portrayed while appealing to a mass audience. Furthermore, the sense of discomfort of the realism of the issues faced isn't lost by this new format.

    It's one of the best episodes of TV I've seen in a long time. Alex Lawther needs to win something for this.

Each episode is more thought provoking and engaging than most good films, showing just how captivating this show is. Charlie Brooker is a mastermind at the top of his game and he continues to show this through each and every episode. Black Mirror has more in common with films like Inception than any other TV Series. For someone who thinks they have seen it all, Black Mirror continues to surprise and shock with meaningful twists.

    W.O.W. I am blown away by this season. My God. I found the first episode to be the least good, but that isn't saying much, cos it was good. However, the final episode blew my mind. My God. I think it's probably the best story so far in the series. This show just gets better and better. Big kudos to the creators and writers. You're doing God's work.

    In its third season, which reflects its new home’s disdain for modesty with much longer episodes and its most extended season yet, there’s less consistency than in past outings but a more prominently demonstrated desire to swing for the fences.
