I really enjoyed Hang the DJ. It was a simple, well-acted and emotionally resonant story that's stayed in my mind long after the credits rolled. The tech was also eerily plausible, though obviously a bit exaggerated for dramatic impact. It was sad to see it so far down on your list.
Me too! It would be in my top 5 I would say. I’m normally pretty good at guessing endings but I didn’t see this one coming at all and it made me cry and stuck with me
I go back and watch "Hated in the Nation" fairly regularly. It feels so different from most other episodes cause of it's pacing, it's by far the longest episode and is constantly adding new elements to the story. It feels like a movie. I also loved Fifteen Million Merits, it was the first episode I saw and is still the most memorable.
The Entire History of You, Be Right Back, and San Junipero really stand out to me because they were not just about technology, but about relationships between normal people.
I felt all these episodes were overrated. My favorite episodes were 1. USS Callister 2. Black Museum 3. White Christmas 4. Shut Up and Dance 5. White Bear Edit: it seems like you’re a fan of the more personal small scale episodes, where I lean more towards the massive stakes large scale episodes
I always rank "Shut Up And Dance" high because that was the episode that got me fully into Black Mirror and I had to go back and watch the other episodes. It made me realise that when you watch Black Mirror the people you follow are misleading you and they're usually the villains in the end. Speaking of misleading you and being the villain in the end "Beyond The Sea" is probably my favorite. Aaron Paul did wonderful.
I actually watched Striking Vipers first, because when you click on it for the first time it brings up the most recent season's first episode, and at the time season 5 was still young. I actually loved the episode and immediately realized it was the wrong season so I went back and binged it. Even though it is not my favorite and I know it is not the greatest episode, it is still one I can revisit and enjoy.
agree. it’s one of my very favorites and i still get giddy waiting for the ending. rewatching it is a joy. i make my friends watch that episode with me so i can relive the naïveté of not knowing what happens. a very realistic story, makes you feel insanely fooled. the climax is insane, the music they use and the lighting is crazy.
What I like about this show is that I'm never, ever able to predict how it'll go. Like in Beyond the Sea, I thought the other guy was going to kill Aaron Paul's character, maybe by leaving him outside the capsule, and also lie to the wife, trying to pass himself off as her husband. But she catches on when she hears him humming one of the records he liked to play.
It’s strange that out of all the episodes, you note Beyond the Sea as particularly unpredictable. As soon as Josh Hartnett’s character had his family murdered, and it kept switching between showing us his family and Aaron Paul’s charcater’s family, I knew where it was going. Which is why I supposed I don’t really like it. It just felt unrewarding when I had to watch a plot unfold for 90 minutes that I had guessed in the first 10. Plus there are logistical inadequacies and plot holes in there that kind of ruin the immersion for me.
Playtest is my absolute favorite because of the the many plottwists. It got to a moment which I got actually scared and was so unsure of the reality of the show, and then when I was sure, they cracked it again. Also the kind of mystery going on between the character and his parents are really engaging even tho it wasn't fully elaborated which makes it even cooler to me (I also like some horror)
It might not be my favorite episode ( Def a top 10 maybe top 5), but the ending is still my favorite ending. The fact that he died within 0.04 sec. before he even got to the mole game is crazy. Also, when you are about to die, your neurons do all fire in rapid succession and can simulate hallucinations and false sensory observations like the ones he had. So that just adds to the whole thing. I don't think he had those experiences because of the machine, I think that was his neurons all firing in hundreds of a second and him hallucinating it all. Still terrifying. The brain is a crazy thing.
Honestly, it was a good episode, but it would be much better if the main character wasn’t so annoying. Dude literally wouldn’t shut up. I just watched this episode today
Same. I'd put Hang the DJ near the top 5. That, Crocodile and The Waldo Moment could all move up 5 or 10 places. Nosedive, Hated in the Nation and Smithereens could move the same amount. Then it would be close to my thoughts.
@@greatapegino i liked the concept. Just didn't think it was a particularly well written episode and didn't take the idea to the most interesting places.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Such a great show! To this day White Christmas has stuck with me the most, mainly due to the final scene where the two police officers nonchalantly crank up the loop timer to, what was it, a million years, give a little chuckle and then leave for their holiday weekend. Utterly horrifying!
Glad you enjoyed! So many good episodes. It’s rare to think that out of 28 there’s probably only three that are “meh”. And yeah, that’s such a haunting moment!
@@BrainPilot I couldn't make a ranked Black Mirror episode list that wouldn't be drastically different a month later, but Entire History, San Junipero, and Hang the DJ will always be in the top 10!
The ending to Beyond the Sea was surreal. I quite literally was left speechless, jaw dropped, staring at my black mirror while the credits scrolled. Brilliant ending from such an incredible show. Loved the video!!
My favorite thing about Playtest is that in a rewatch, if you are wearing headphones, you can hear a phone vibrating incorporated into the music. Sonething youd never take note of the first time, but something ultimately gutwrenching when you finally notice. I remember thinking my phone was vibrating the whole time he was in the game.
I just wanted to thank you for mentioning the supporting cast of “Beyond the Sea”. They all did amazing jobs, and tend to be overlooked by Aaron and Josh’s performances.
I liked “Shut Up and Dance” because of how they try to make you think one thing and the twist changes the whole story where he turns out to be a pedophile. Beyond the Sea is my next episode that I’m going to recommend everyone to watch. I just love when they make you think he was going to lock him outside of the ship to die and secretly take over his body only to have a completely unexpected twist at the end that gives me chicken skin while the credits roll.
I think it was obvious David wouldn't let Cliff die because Cliff himself told his wife they needed eachother because their mission was designed for 2 earlier in the episode, otherwise David could've just stabbed him while he was laying on that bed. I think It would've been darker if they landed on a planet with enough resources to live but instead of doing research and going back to earth, David killed Cliff and started pretending he was him on earth or if Cliff's wife simply accepted the fact that David was dead and didn't care because she fell in love with David. There was no reason for David to go back so he could just wake up to eat and go back lol.
Yeah, it was pretty damn obvious that he was going to kill the family. My ‘fix’ would have been to show a scene after the final one, where the two of them, while still loathing one another, are mutually cooperating to work the ship and have an agreed roster to use the body, because there’s no other choice other than mutual destruction.
I think this show has slowly turned into the most important TV Series of our generation. Seriously you can get so much conversation and discussion out of each of the episodes. I was at the basketball court today and overheard someone saying that they needed to get home to finish the rest of season 6. Damn Good Television.
my personal ranking for season 6 episodes alone is: 5)mazey day 4)joan is awful 3)demon 79 2)loch henry 1)beyond the sea. Overall this season was like a 7-8/10 in my opinion.
The season was doing so well before the last two episodes too :/. I wonder why they went the supernatural route. I was flabbergasted in that episode cause wtf was that lmfaoooo.
Nosedive is my absolute favorite episode in this entire series so I was secretly hoping for it to be at least top 5 and you can guess how happy I was to see it at #3 for you!
I go back and watch White Christmas all the time the story was well constructed and it all paid off to an amazing ending. That episode along with The Entire history of you are the two episodes I recommend to other people to watch no matter what. They do the best at mixing the technology with the story and imo have to best endings in all of Blackmirror. Overall good list I definitely have a different list then yours 3-28 but you got the two most important ones at the top.
I think you absolutely nailed it. When I think of Black Mirror, the two episodes that immediately come to mind are The Entire History of You and White Christmas.
i think smithereens is one of the best by far, because of how much i and many of us can relate to the characters views, the concept is already much of a reality and i cant help but empathise with the main character as i strongly agree with him
The one pattern about season 6 that I noticed is that it entirely steers clear of its traditional, prophetic dystopian slant on the abuse of technology in the future. Almost every episode goes back in time and/or has completely abandoned the dystopian sci-if element in favor of more fantasy/supernatural type themes. Like a lot of Black Mirrors previous seasons focusing on dystopian sci-fi creative predictions have almost caught up to where we are today, obviously not literally but in concept and direction we’re not to far from some dystopian milestones. Most of the episodes were good for what they were and I accept that a show doesn’t have to be what I expect exactly. But admittedly, I would’ve been more interested to see episodes set in 2060 challenging Elon Musk’s theory about the singularity. I mean transhumanism with tech is literally being discussed right now. What would that look like in the next decades? Joan is awful is probably the closest to discussing a near future and even this episode confines itself to Netflix making itself the butt of anything antagonistic…Not to be all conspiracy theorist, but as I was going through each episode and noticing how almost all were set in the past..it did almost seem like the traditional approach Black Mirror always took was sort of avoided and abandoned altogether as not to offend tech companies or at least portray them in a bad light to the public as they are literally inventing things at a rate right now that might take us to a dystopian future…idk, it’s a stretch of thinking for sure. But just am sharing this comment because nobody’s discussed this angle yet and maybe others took notice?
That's why it fell flat for me. The premises were mostly good and there, but the time period switches and supernatural elements just took away all the realism.
@@JNB0723Yh same I enjoyed loch henry,Beyond the sea and demon 79 each very good but it didn’t feel like a block mirror episode other than maybe beyond the sea but loch henry felt like a movie instead I don’t mind that too much but I wish they would add some more technology dystopia next season aswell as these
San Juniero is very dark. It's not YOUR mind thats uploaded there. It is only a copy. Basically you did die. All of you died even your mind. But the picture they copied remained.
Great rankings! I especially agree with the bottom 3. And ty for ranking White Bear so high. That’s my fav episode and it’s the one that got me onto the show because my dad was explaining the plot and I thought it sounded cool af so I watched and the rest is history.
To be honest with you I disagree with you on striking vipers. I think the ending was actually a good ending. A loving couple making a compromise. I didn’t find it dark, on the contrary, I found it quite mature.
I loved Stiking Vipers cause it was so damn weird and had you feeling awkward the whole time. I would rank that episode top 3. Its funny how differently people like different episodes.
So happy that someone agrees with me as entire history of you as the best, white Christmas also 2nd for me, what did surprise me about this list is hang the DJ and loch Henry being so far down but this is such a hard list to make because there are so many good ones I appreciate your efforts
1. White Christmas 2. White Bear 3. Shut up and Dance 4. Black Museum 5. USS Callister I think some of the worst to me are The Waldo Moment, Metalhead, Rachel Jack and Ashley Too, and Mazey Day I think the rest of the episodes are pretty good. One of my dark horse favorites is Crocodile
@@zekeedwards7904Demon 79 was my favourite episode, beyond the sea just annoyed me tbh. The acting was sublime but the story was just stupid imo, it took me out of the whole thing when he killed Cliffs family. Thats unrealistic as fuck.
@@lukecheshire7782 so a story about a demon manifesting as a 70s disco dude is not stupid lol, look man it's all subjective if everyone agreed on everything, life would be pretty dull, I enjoy the tech side and dystopia in black mirror, that's what got me hooked, not supernatural comedy
Idk if bandersnatch could be considered a BM episode but its one of my favorites. Back when I watched it I was really into interactive video games(Detroit become human, until dawn, life is strange etc) and bandersnatch surpassed all those without even being a game.
Episodes like Mazey day can be good... only if they're not bearing the "Black Mirror" title. Like if I want that kine of episodes I'll be watching Stranger Things or something...
Great list, I really enjoyed it. Thinking about White Christmas it strikes me how sad it was for the man who thought he had a child. Had the women uttered three simple words "it's not yours" she could have saved him an eternity of pain. She is the true villian of this episode.
I love Annie Murphy to death. Her acting was sublime, but the directing and writing didn't bring enough of the introspection with the simulated reality twist at the end. We only saw it with Annie Murphy's acting when Level 1 Joan realized that the real Joan was already going to break the Quamputer anyway. They wasted an opportunity to portray an existential horror that would've been more reminiscent of peak Black Mirror episodes.
I’m still confused on this one. I thought the program was meant to simulate each person’s life then where did the multiple levels come in with real actors that don’t know they’re acting? I’m a little lost
@@sunflowerlove60part of the plot of the Joan is Awful show is that she finds out her life is being turned into a show (when she sees Salma Hayek) The idea is that the whole episode we watched is just the “Joan Is Awful” Streamberry show about the real life Joan
Definitely agree with the bottom half of the list, especially the bottom 5. Mazey day felt so... off. BM doesn't have to be technology focused but the felt too on the rails. Although I think the one with the nano bees should be down there too. Edit: The Entire History of You is my favourite story next to White Christmas. It's so powerful and re watchable. Its so raw, personal and real - this is something I think lacks in other episodes
White Bear, White Christmas, USS Callister and Black Museum are the eeriest . The concept of long and eternal torture and punishment is just unsettling to me.
That was enormous fun to watch, so thanks. I won't judge your order since it's all so subjective. I would like to make a few observations, however: I completely agree with your Mazey Day observation. A terrific episode was let down by an odd horror angle that came out of nowhere. Season six is substantially better than many would have us believe. I enjoyed all of them to varying degrees. With three episodes being outstanding (Joan and Mazey being the two "good, not great episodes). As for gut punches... Under the Sea and Loch Henry deliver in spades. Yet, no episode has shocked or upended everything I thought I knew, like Shut Up and Dance. Quite brilliant.
Thank you! It’s a long episode but every moment adds something to the plot and it has the perfect ending. It gets better on every rewatch and I think it’s criminally underrated.
The Entire History of You is in my top 5/10 episodes instead of my favourite but it will always be special to me. It really was the episode that made me love the show and I had such a strong reaction to watching it. Even the worse episodes of the show are incredibly well executed and BM in general is truly unforgettable
I personally loved Mazey Day. The werewolf twist was just out of left fuckin field. I didn’t know what to expect but I was still not expecting that. Beyond the sea DEFINITELY one of their best episodes. The way they were making it seem, I thought 1 of 2 things was going to happen. Either that the wife was going to end up living Josh Hartnett more or that Josh was going to kill Aaron but then pass off as if he was him fooling his wife. But murdering his family??????? HOLY SHIT I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!
I don’t watch Black Mirror for twists - there’s episodes people love without a shocking twist (Nosedive, San Junipero, USS Calistar) so while there was some predictability, I don’t think an episode should get deducted points for that.
Hell, I knew the moment his family got GOT! I definitely predicted that ending as well. Everybody says Loch Henry was predictable but Beyond The Sea was predictable for me.
I get that your list is subjective, but come on man. Hang the DJ is literally the SECOND highest ranked episode on IMDb (which means the mean of thousands of people collectively decided that). Calling it forgettable was also a bit of a stretch because it received and still receives lots of media attention, especially on youtube.
Welp, can't argue about taste, but saying beyond the sea was more enjoyable than Hated in the Nation, wow...Reaaaaaally can't see that. IMHO Hated in the Nation is extremely underrated. One of the best BM episodes for me, one of the few that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Beyond the Sea? Meh. It was nice to see Aaron Paul, but 1h20 was waaaay to much for that story. Also love Hang the DJ. Such a wholesome episode. Lastly, IDK why people like the Entire History of You so much. I couldn't care less about the main character and his obsession with rewatching everything everytime and I found really funny when he discovered his wife cheating through this. It felt earned. Dude was so paranoid that finally the paranoia "paid" him in someway. But there was no one to cheer for, almost everyone was idiot and dumb. Thinking about the purpose of the episode I found Nosedive way more entertaining while conveying a really similar message.
1. 15 Million Merits 2. San Junipero 3. Be Right Back 4. White Christmas 5. White Bear 6. Hated in the Nation 7. Nosedive 8. Playtest 9. Beyond the Sea 10. Hang the DJ Also, I made this list before watching the top 10. Nice 🤘
Can't rank them all but best from each season. The National Anthem. White Bear. Shut Up and Dance. USS Callister. Smithereens. Loch Henry. White Bear and Shut Up and Dance standing out the most. Always a gut punch. The Waldo Moment was probably the only episode that really disappointed me, rather dull and the ending had me rolling my eyes. Enjoyed all your breakdowns of this season. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one.
Hang the Dj is amazing. Her sitting on the bed watching many go by and him stuck in something awful as he watched the time almost made me cry because I’ve been in both positions. Their chemistry was amazing and the twist was awesome. Idk if you haven’t dated a lot or something but this episode literally catches every angle of dating so perfectly.
My major problem with Entire History of You is the ending. It should have been that paranoia, and overthinking your memories is an irrational route to go down, and that as a result the grain feeds into this. Instead, this kind of behaviour is seemingly vindicated by the fact that Liam finds out the truth and I would conclude he is better off for it. It would have been far more interesting to see Liam’s life fall apart unnecessarily from paranoia, and I would much rather experience the pain he did knowing the truth than not. So it makes me as the viewer see the grain as a good thing when clearly it wouldn’t be.
I'd argue that the message is more that for jealous, abusive people, this type of technology would make them even more dangerous. At no point is his behavior vindicated, and in fact the ending suggests he lost far more than he gained by doggedly pursuing what he thought was an important truth.
@@bjorn00000 But he still finds out the truth, a very very important truth, and as a result it’s hard not to see he has been vindicated, which is a conclusion which - as you say - is even worse given the fact he’s abusive and emotionally manipulative.
@@nickpowell2401 I think it matters what the actual truths are, and it's something hinted at right at the end. She's loving and devoted to him, even if he's an absolute d-bag, and every single lie she's said is less to be malicious towards him and more to keep their relationship intact. He focuses on things that not only don't matter in pursuit of the "truth", when knowing without understanding is actually worse. Honestly, one plot hole to me is that folks aren't better at hiding their tracks and deleting their data in cases like that where they might get caught. Given that the tech has been around for several years at least it seems like people would have figured that out by now.
My Top 10: 1. USS Callister 2. Black Museum 3. Crocodile 4. White Bear 5. Loch Henry 6. Demon 79 7. Striking Vipers 8. Hated in the Nation 9. Joan is awful 10. White Christmas … 28. Mazey Day 😂
I think the best BM episodes are those in which you can clearly see character development (more often a downward spiral) due to the technology so I totally agree with your top choices. USS callister is always my personal favourite though. And if you are doing another best performances, please include Aaron Paul in the top 5. He was the highlight of that episode!
The entire history of you messed with me. When the couple was being intimate but using memories instead and not being present with each other was haunting
I agree! Felt like commentary on more modern technology which was interesting to see. Parents these days can track their children’s phones and put cameras in their children’s rooms. Of course modern tech like that can be helpful but I love that Arkangel follows the story of what overprotective & controlling parents can do with this kind of technology.
I always get surprised that you didlike the waldo moment. I feel it really nailed the feeling of contempt and cyniscism towards politics. Trump, Boris and Balsenaro all came after this episode, candidates who seemed silly but with a dangerous underlying message.
I don't think White Bear was supposed to be morally ambiguous. I believe the point is that some punishments are too horrible even for the most heinous of crimes, like killing a child. The fact that she had no memory of the crime also meant that she could never associate her current predicament to the crime. Add to that the fact that there were actors pretending everything was real and even pretending to be trying to help her, there was no way she could have known this was a punishment targetted specifically at her. Even when her crime and the nature of her punishment are revealed to her, she has still lost her memory and doesn't remember committing the crime. I believe the point of the episode isn't to question whether her punishment was justified (in my opinion it 100% wasn't) but to question the motives of the people running the park and the people visiting it, watching the suffering of another person for entertainment under the guise of criminal justice. Sometimes when I hear about some thoughtless, brutal crime, I find myself thinking "there's no punishment however horrific this person doesn't deserve", and then I'm reminded that this very attitude was used to justify the plot of this episode.
I gotta say, your top choice is the one episode I've refused to ever watch again because of the pain I felt watching him go through that. Probably why it deserves the spot tbh
Brooker has said in interviews that Liam was in fact the father of their child with Fi, not Jonas... making his emotional breakdown that ultimately pushed them both away from him all the more tragic
While I do agree on a lot of them, there are some that I would put higher on my rankings, like Striking Vipers, USS Callister and Hang the DJ. All three are in top 10 on my list

The Entire History of You, Be Right Back, and San Junipero really stand out to me because they were not just about technology, but about relationships between normal people.

hang the dj being "forgettable" is crazy bro 💀
hang the DJ is one of my favourite episodes, even if it doesn't really fit black mirror due to the happy ending
That's a fair choice!
I think that's the reason they placed this episode right after one of the darkest episodes "Crocodile"
My favorite thing about Playtest is that in a rewatch, if you are wearing headphones, you can hear a phone vibrating incorporated into the music. Sonething youd never take note of the first time, but something ultimately gutwrenching when you finally notice. I remember thinking my phone was vibrating the whole time he was in the game.
That's a really cool thought!
Just realized that the mom from Loch Henry was the police chief from Smithereens
Good spot!
I just wanted to thank you for mentioning the supporting cast of “Beyond the Sea”. They all did amazing jobs, and tend to be overlooked by Aaron and Josh’s performances.
Every single cast member brought something to the performance. Even Henry and his slightly absent but observant nature!
One of the best episodes :)
I really feel like arkangel doesn’t get enough love. I found it very powerful as someone who’s a mother now and was also once a teenage girl.
True, it is a good episode!
I’ll forever love be right back, san junipero, white christmas, nosedive & crocodile the most because they feel the most character-driven which i love
I liked “Shut Up and Dance” because of how they try to make you think one thing and the twist changes the whole story where he turns out to be a pedophile. Beyond the Sea is my next episode that I’m going to recommend everyone to watch. I just love when they make you think he was going to lock him outside of the ship to die and secretly take over his body only to have a completely unexpected twist at the end that gives me chicken skin while the credits roll.
I think it was obvious David wouldn't let Cliff die because Cliff himself told his wife they needed eachother because their mission was designed for 2 earlier in the episode, otherwise David could've just stabbed him while he was laying on that bed.
I think It would've been darker if they landed on a planet with enough resources to live but instead of doing research and going back to earth, David killed Cliff and started pretending he was him on earth or if Cliff's wife simply accepted the fact that David was dead and didn't care because she fell in love with David. There was no reason for David to go back so he could just wake up to eat and go back lol.
Yeah, it was pretty damn obvious that he was going to kill the family.
My ‘fix’ would have been to show a scene after the final one, where the two of them, while still loathing one another, are mutually cooperating to work the ship and have an agreed roster to use the body, because there’s no other choice other than mutual destruction.
I think this show has slowly turned into the most important TV Series of our generation. Seriously you can get so much conversation and discussion out of each of the episodes. I was at the basketball court today and overheard someone saying that they needed to get home to finish the rest of season 6. Damn Good Television.
It’s very ‘McDonald’s’ philo sci-fi a lot of the time imo. Tech bad, titillate you with that concept, repeat the process, that’s the show.
my personal ranking for season 6 episodes alone is: 5)mazey day 4)joan is awful 3)demon 79 2)loch henry 1)beyond the sea. Overall this season was like a 7-8/10 in my opinion.
My exact ranking
Solid ranking!
Totally agree!!!
Mazey day pulled down the quality of the season so much more lower - like a clear outlier. Agree with the list too
The season was doing so well before the last two episodes too :/. I wonder why they went the supernatural route. I was flabbergasted in that episode cause wtf was that lmfaoooo.
Nosedive is my absolute favorite episode in this entire series so I was secretly hoping for it to be at least top 5 and you can guess how happy I was to see it at #3 for you!
That was such a good one. Her breakdown at the end was so well acted and you really truly felt her hopeless desperation to your core
My favourites are Black Museum and White Bear. I did like Loch Henry but i predicted the mums involvement straight away
I go back and watch White Christmas all the time the story was well constructed and it all paid off to an amazing ending. That episode along with The Entire history of you are the two episodes I recommend to other people to watch no matter what. They do the best at mixing the technology with the story and imo have to best endings in all of Blackmirror.
Overall good list I definitely have a different list then yours 3-28 but you got the two most important ones at the top.
I just watched white christmas and it blew me away, existential dread showed perfectly on a TV screen
I think you absolutely nailed it. When I think of Black Mirror, the two episodes that immediately come to mind are The Entire History of You and White Christmas.
They are classics!
i think smithereens is one of the best by far, because of how much i and many of us can relate to the characters views, the concept is already much of a reality and i cant help but empathise with the main character as i strongly agree with him
The one pattern about season 6 that I noticed is that it entirely steers clear of its traditional, prophetic dystopian slant on the abuse of technology in the future. Almost every episode goes back in time and/or has completely abandoned the dystopian sci-if element in favor of more fantasy/supernatural type themes. Like a lot of Black Mirrors previous seasons focusing on dystopian sci-fi creative predictions have almost caught up to where we are today, obviously not literally but in concept and direction we’re not to far from some dystopian milestones. Most of the episodes were good for what they were and I accept that a show doesn’t have to be what I expect exactly. But admittedly, I would’ve been more interested to see episodes set in 2060 challenging Elon Musk’s theory about the singularity. I mean transhumanism with tech is literally being discussed right now. What would that look like in the next decades? Joan is awful is probably the closest to discussing a near future and even this episode confines itself to Netflix making itself the butt of anything antagonistic…Not to be all conspiracy theorist, but as I was going through each episode and noticing how almost all were set in the past..it did almost seem like the traditional approach Black Mirror always took was sort of avoided and abandoned altogether as not to offend tech companies or at least portray them in a bad light to the public as they are literally inventing things at a rate right now that might take us to a dystopian future…idk, it’s a stretch of thinking for sure. But just am sharing this comment because nobody’s discussed this angle yet and maybe others took notice?
That's why it fell flat for me. The premises were mostly good and there, but the time period switches and supernatural elements just took away all the realism.
@@JNB0723Yh same I enjoyed loch henry,Beyond the sea and demon 79 each very good but it didn’t feel like a block mirror episode other than maybe beyond the sea but loch henry felt like a movie instead I don’t mind that too much but I wish they would add some more technology dystopia next season aswell as these
Beyond the sea has stuck with me. Great episode
San Juniero is very dark. It's not YOUR mind thats uploaded there. It is only a copy. Basically you did die. All of you died even your mind. But the picture they copied remained.
Hang the dj being 24th is cray
Great rankings! I especially agree with the bottom 3. And ty for ranking White Bear so high. That’s my fav episode and it’s the one that got me onto the show because my dad was explaining the plot and I thought it sounded cool af so I watched and the rest is history.
Thanks a lot!
To be honest with you I disagree with you on striking vipers. I think the ending was actually a good ending. A loving couple making a compromise. I didn’t find it dark, on the contrary, I found it quite mature.
Totally fair!
striking vipers is so under appreciated
Agreed. Ending was understanding of all sides, not a dark one. Everyone walked away happy.
I loved Stiking Vipers cause it was so damn weird and had you feeling awkward the whole time. I would rank that episode top 3. Its funny how differently people like different episodes.
That's totally fair!
I hated striking vipers
White Christmas, USS Callister, and Striking Vipers are top 3 for me, and perhaps the only episodes I truly liked a lot.
Thanks for this video, it was fun seeing which episodes you genuinely enjoyed, and which you found just passable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
1. Uss Callister
2. Hang The DJ
3. The entire history of you
4. Black Museum
5. Play Test
1.2. And 3 being equally as amazing. Perfect!
Interesting choices!
Thank you for not listing San Junipero in the first place. We appreciate it.❤
Stringing Vipers has stuck with me for so long. I honestly think it’s brilliant.
So happy that someone agrees with me as entire history of you as the best, white Christmas also 2nd for me, what did surprise me about this list is hang the DJ and loch Henry being so far down but this is such a hard list to make because there are so many good ones I appreciate your efforts
Glad you agree with the top part! Yeah it's a difficult ranking as there are so many good episodes!
1. White Christmas
2. White Bear
3. Shut up and Dance
4. Black Museum
5. USS Callister
I think some of the worst to me are The Waldo Moment, Metalhead, Rachel Jack and Ashley Too, and Mazey Day I think the rest of the episodes are pretty good. One of my dark horse favorites is Crocodile
I definitely agree with the ones you put towards the bottom! Seems we're on a similar page with that!
Shut up
And dance is corny i choose metal head over that boring episode
Season 6 was mixed for me , I thought Joan is awful and beyond the sea were excellent but demon 69,mazey day and Loch Henry were very poor
@@zekeedwards7904Demon 79 was my favourite episode, beyond the sea just annoyed me tbh. The acting was sublime but the story was just stupid imo, it took me out of the whole thing when he killed Cliffs family. Thats unrealistic as fuck.
@@lukecheshire7782 so a story about a demon manifesting as a 70s disco dude is not stupid lol, look man it's all subjective if everyone agreed on everything, life would be pretty dull, I enjoy the tech side and dystopia in black mirror, that's what got me hooked, not supernatural comedy
Mazey day being last is the reason I liked lol 😂
Haha, oh no lol
Idk if bandersnatch could be considered a BM episode but its one of my favorites. Back when I watched it I was really into interactive video games(Detroit become human, until dawn, life is strange etc) and bandersnatch surpassed all those without even being a game.
Detroit become human was a classic. Definitely need more games like that.
Big cap, detroit was better that bandersnatch
@@reizyka3044 nah you buggin' Detroit had potential but David cage fumbled the story
Episodes like Mazey day can be good... only if they're not bearing the "Black Mirror" title. Like if I want that kine of episodes I'll be watching Stranger Things or something...
I though that I was watching teen wolf instead of black mirror 😂
it was more twightlight zone or inside no 9 than black mirror
I have only watched 5, but decided its one of my favourites. San Junipero, 15 million credits and Demon 79 are all fantastic.
Great list, I really enjoyed it. Thinking about White Christmas it strikes me how sad it was for the man who thought he had a child. Had the women uttered three simple words "it's not yours" she could have saved him an eternity of pain. She is the true villian of this episode.
Glad you enjoyed the ranking!
Tbh she could have prevented the entire chaos
Hated in the nation was one of personal favorites
That’s fair enough, it is a good episode, I just found the pacing to be so slow!
I'm obsessed with beyond the sea. So good.
Interesting, I liked the concept but was underwhelmed.
@@TeChNoWC7 I liked it but forgot about it immediately haha
@@TeChNoWC7very overwhelming. I didn’t like the end at all. But it was pretty good.
I love Annie Murphy to death. Her acting was sublime, but the directing and writing didn't bring enough of the introspection with the simulated reality twist at the end. We only saw it with Annie Murphy's acting when Level 1 Joan realized that the real Joan was already going to break the Quamputer anyway. They wasted an opportunity to portray an existential horror that would've been more reminiscent of peak Black Mirror episodes.
I’m still confused on this one. I thought the program was meant to simulate each person’s life then where did the multiple levels come in with real actors that don’t know they’re acting? I’m a little lost
@@sunflowerlove60part of the plot of the Joan is Awful show is that she finds out her life is being turned into a show (when she sees Salma Hayek) The idea is that the whole episode we watched is just the “Joan Is Awful” Streamberry show about the real life Joan
Definitely agree with the bottom half of the list, especially the bottom 5. Mazey day felt so... off. BM doesn't have to be technology focused but the felt too on the rails. Although I think the one with the nano bees should be down there too. Edit: The Entire History of You is my favourite story next to White Christmas. It's so powerful and re watchable. Its so raw, personal and real - this is something I think lacks in other episodes
Glad we agreed on a lot!
I liked the bee one a lot tbh
@@duffal0 I can see it’s merits - deffo got some good moments in there but I felt like it was too long
White Bear, White Christmas, USS Callister and Black Museum are the eeriest . The concept of long and eternal torture and punishment is just unsettling to me.
That was enormous fun to watch, so thanks.
I won't judge your order since it's all so subjective. I would like to make a few observations, however:
I completely agree with your Mazey Day observation. A terrific episode was let down by an odd horror angle that came out of nowhere.
Season six is substantially better than many would have us believe. I enjoyed all of them to varying degrees. With three episodes being outstanding (Joan and Mazey being the two "good, not great episodes).
As for gut punches...
Under the Sea and Loch Henry deliver in spades. Yet, no episode has shocked or upended everything I thought I knew, like Shut Up and Dance. Quite brilliant.
The best for me is "Hated by the Nation", but I realy liked USS Calister, Nosedive, San Jupitero, Hang the Dj, White Bear..i love this series 🥰
Thank you! It’s a long episode but every moment adds something to the plot and it has the perfect ending. It gets better on every rewatch and I think it’s criminally underrated.
This whole season 6 felt more like twilight zone than your typical black mirror episodes except for ep 1 & 3
I did my ranking on Letterboxed yesterday. My current top 3 are "Shut up and Dance", "Loch Henry" and "Smithereens".
Three interesting choices! All quite similar from a tonal perspective. Definitely like the darker more “present day” episodes!
@@BrainPilot thanks man, yes I thought the exact same thing. Love your videos keep it up!
Loved them all. Agree they're all enjoyable. Never really had a bad episode. I like your rankings
The Entire History of You is in my top 5/10 episodes instead of my favourite but it will always be special to me. It really was the episode that made me love the show and I had such a strong reaction to watching it. Even the worse episodes of the show are incredibly well executed and BM in general is truly unforgettable
Striking Vipers is so thought provoking though
Oh definitely!
I was so anxious waiting your rank on The Entire History of You, and I so agreed it deserves to be number one
Woop! Glad you agreed!
Beyond the sea is wild asf
The best inclusion of the brand new episodes!
I can’t take you seriously putting vipers at 25 😂😂😂
Should be even lower. An entire hour devoted to the “no homo” meme.
25/28! 😂 where would you put it?
@@BrainPilot Even though there are only 28 episodes it wouldn’t make my top 30 😂
I feel like the people who hated it just hate seeing gay shit. It’s a really good episode
I personally loved Mazey Day. The werewolf twist was just out of left fuckin field. I didn’t know what to expect but I was still not expecting that.
Beyond the sea DEFINITELY one of their best episodes. The way they were making it seem, I thought 1 of 2 things was going to happen. Either that the wife was going to end up living Josh Hartnett more or that Josh was going to kill Aaron but then pass off as if he was him fooling his wife. But murdering his family??????? HOLY SHIT I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!
Y tf did she turn into a werewolf some shit ending
I really liked “beyond the sea” but I knew the ending halfway through the episode! I wasn’t shocked
I was shocked, I thought he'd kill the man and take over his family.
Yeah that's what I thought too!
I don’t watch Black Mirror for twists - there’s episodes people love without a shocking twist (Nosedive, San Junipero, USS Calistar) so while there was some predictability, I don’t think an episode should get deducted points for that.
Yeah, was extremely predictable unfortunately
Hell, I knew the moment his family got GOT! I definitely predicted that ending as well. Everybody says Loch Henry was predictable but Beyond The Sea was predictable for me.
My favorites are Crocodile, 15 million merits, white bear, metalhead, shut up and dance and white Christmas
Great choices!
1.Nose Dive
2.San Jun
3.History of you
4.Shut up and Dance
5.Striking Vipers
6. Playtest
7. White Bear
8. Black museum
Solid rating! Interesting that striking vipers is there!
I get that your list is subjective, but come on man. Hang the DJ is literally the SECOND highest ranked episode on IMDb (which means the mean of thousands of people collectively decided that).
Calling it forgettable was also a bit of a stretch because it received and still receives lots of media attention, especially on youtube.
Welp, can't argue about taste, but saying beyond the sea was more enjoyable than Hated in the Nation, wow...Reaaaaaally can't see that. IMHO Hated in the Nation is extremely underrated. One of the best BM episodes for me, one of the few that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Beyond the Sea? Meh. It was nice to see Aaron Paul, but 1h20 was waaaay to much for that story.
Also love Hang the DJ. Such a wholesome episode.
Lastly, IDK why people like the Entire History of You so much. I couldn't care less about the main character and his obsession with rewatching everything everytime and I found really funny when he discovered his wife cheating through this. It felt earned. Dude was so paranoid that finally the paranoia "paid" him in someway. But there was no one to cheer for, almost everyone was idiot and dumb. Thinking about the purpose of the episode I found Nosedive way more entertaining while conveying a really similar message.
1. 15 Million Merits
2. San Junipero
3. Be Right Back
4. White Christmas
5. White Bear
6. Hated in the Nation
7. Nosedive
8. Playtest
9. Beyond the Sea
10. Hang the DJ
Also, I made this list before watching the top 10. Nice 🤘
Solid top ten!
The UK based episodes out do the US episodes except for a couple. Also When Netflix got involved seems things changed. If you know what I mean.
Nosedive is my personal favourite. It feels more accurate today then ever and has one of the most satisfying endings.
I literally forgot the entirety of Crocodile even though I've watched it.
It’s a gooden!
Entire history definitely can’t be 1. Maybe in top 10. San junipero, nosedive and million merits are top 3
Thank you for saving my time
Hang the DJ is one of the best episodes I. The show wdym??
Now I want to watch the whole show again
Can't rank them all but best from each season. The National Anthem. White Bear. Shut Up and Dance. USS Callister. Smithereens. Loch Henry. White Bear and Shut Up and Dance standing out the most. Always a gut punch. The Waldo Moment was probably the only episode that really disappointed me, rather dull and the ending had me rolling my eyes. Enjoyed all your breakdowns of this season. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one.
Crocodile at #22 is BULLSHIT
Oh no lol. Where would you place it?
Hang the Dj is amazing. Her sitting on the bed watching many go by and him stuck in something awful as he watched the time almost made me cry because I’ve been in both positions. Their chemistry was amazing and the twist was awesome. Idk if you haven’t dated a lot or something but this episode literally catches every angle of dating so perfectly.
I like Mazey Day. I think what it boiled down to was that even with everything that had happened, the focus was still on taking photos.
It was.. but that plot didn't work at all
Great review bruv. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
My major problem with Entire History of You is the ending. It should have been that paranoia, and overthinking your memories is an irrational route to go down, and that as a result the grain feeds into this. Instead, this kind of behaviour is seemingly vindicated by the fact that Liam finds out the truth and I would conclude he is better off for it.
It would have been far more interesting to see Liam’s life fall apart unnecessarily from paranoia, and I would much rather experience the pain he did knowing the truth than not. So it makes me as the viewer see the grain as a good thing when clearly it wouldn’t be.
I'd argue that the message is more that for jealous, abusive people, this type of technology would make them even more dangerous. At no point is his behavior vindicated, and in fact the ending suggests he lost far more than he gained by doggedly pursuing what he thought was an important truth.
@@bjorn00000 But he still finds out the truth, a very very important truth, and as a result it’s hard not to see he has been vindicated, which is a conclusion which - as you say - is even worse given the fact he’s abusive and emotionally manipulative.
@@nickpowell2401 I think it matters what the actual truths are, and it's something hinted at right at the end. She's loving and devoted to him, even if he's an absolute d-bag, and every single lie she's said is less to be malicious towards him and more to keep their relationship intact. He focuses on things that not only don't matter in pursuit of the "truth", when knowing without understanding is actually worse.
Honestly, one plot hole to me is that folks aren't better at hiding their tracks and deleting their data in cases like that where they might get caught. Given that the tech has been around for several years at least it seems like people would have figured that out by now.
This is inspiring me to watch The Waldo Moment again, now that I feel like North America is living it.
My Top 10:
1. USS Callister
2. Black Museum
3. Crocodile
4. White Bear
5. Loch Henry
6. Demon 79
7. Striking Vipers
8. Hated in the Nation
9. Joan is awful
10. White Christmas
…
28. Mazey Day 😂
LOOL, gotta get Mazey Day in there!
I like Striking Vipers as well, it doesn't get the love it deserves. I agree that Mazey Day is at the bottom.
I think the best BM episodes are those in which you can clearly see character development (more often a downward spiral) due to the technology so I totally agree with your top choices. USS callister is always my personal favourite though.
And if you are doing another best performances, please include Aaron Paul in the top 5. He was the highlight of that episode!
The entire history of you messed with me. When the couple was being intimate but using memories instead and not being present with each other was haunting
Yeah that was such a good (bleak) moment!
In the episode, loch Henry, am I the only one who thought that she was going to write “forgive me” and was then stunned to read it as “for your film”?
Nah, i thought the exact same thing! Was so shocking wasn't it!
For me white Christmas is bar far the best episode, and one of the best things I've ever seen on TV
That's totally fair - it is such a good episode!
Yo the doctor story in black museum seriously freaked me out and that’s not easy to do
White Christmas is my favorite.
It's such a good one! Good choice!
white bear, shut up and dance & loch henry are my top 3 episodes!
They're three very good episodes
Arkhangel is underrated
Definitely top 10
I agree! Felt like commentary on more modern technology which was interesting to see. Parents these days can track their children’s phones and put cameras in their children’s rooms. Of course modern tech like that can be helpful but I love that Arkangel follows the story of what overprotective & controlling parents can do with this kind of technology.
In "Shut up and dance" while he is talking to the girl, in the background you can hear the song "Thats the way I like it"
I feel like beyond the sea could have been 20 mins shorter
Do you think? I could have done with more to be honest haha
I always get surprised that you didlike the waldo moment. I feel it really nailed the feeling of contempt and cyniscism towards politics. Trump, Boris and Balsenaro all came after this episode, candidates who seemed silly but with a dangerous underlying message.
I don't think White Bear was supposed to be morally ambiguous. I believe the point is that some punishments are too horrible even for the most heinous of crimes, like killing a child. The fact that she had no memory of the crime also meant that she could never associate her current predicament to the crime. Add to that the fact that there were actors pretending everything was real and even pretending to be trying to help her, there was no way she could have known this was a punishment targetted specifically at her. Even when her crime and the nature of her punishment are revealed to her, she has still lost her memory and doesn't remember committing the crime.
I believe the point of the episode isn't to question whether her punishment was justified (in my opinion it 100% wasn't) but to question the motives of the people running the park and the people visiting it, watching the suffering of another person for entertainment under the guise of criminal justice.
Sometimes when I hear about some thoughtless, brutal crime, I find myself thinking "there's no punishment however horrific this person doesn't deserve", and then I'm reminded that this very attitude was used to justify the plot of this episode.
Great review!
Thanks a lot!
I gotta say, your top choice is the one episode I've refused to ever watch again because of the pain I felt watching him go through that. Probably why it deserves the spot tbh
Yeah it is such a good episode
Here's my Black Mirror top 3:
3: Shut Up & Dance
2: Beyond the Sea
1: Nosedive
Three great episodes! Good that a new episode made it in there too!
My personal favorites are The Entire History of You, Be Right Back, Shut Up and Dance, USS Callister, Hang the DJ, and Beyond the Sea
Brooker has said in interviews that Liam was in fact the father of their child with Fi, not Jonas... making his emotional breakdown that ultimately pushed them both away from him all the more tragic
While I do agree on a lot of them, there are some that I would put higher on my rankings, like Striking Vipers, USS Callister and Hang the DJ. All three are in top 10 on my list
That’s totally fair! Shows what’s so good about the show! The completely different opinions
