It felt a little too conventional as an episode of Black Mirror, even with the near-future tech and Twitter hate. Go to Full Review David Sims The Atlantic 08/17/2018
Hated in the Nation is blunt, but its target is diffuse... It's a depressing note to end Black Mirror on, but a fitting one -- a caution to its audience to never feel too high and mighty about your conduct online. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 08/17/2018
Black Mirror is about seeing how far technology stretches human emotions. Hated in the Nation doesn't have to push nearly as far as you might expect to go from social media outrage cycle to literal swarms of insects killing people. Go to Full Review Daniel Chin The Ringer 07/18/2023
Black Mirror has always been able to tell its stories economically, but “Hated” showed that Brooker had more than enough ideas to fill up a feature-length runtime. Go to Full Review Gina Carbone CinemaBlend 06/10/2019
Like many of the best Black Mirror episodes, it holds people accountable for their behavior -- adding the bright-eyed angry mob of social media to the list of villains. Go to Full Review Jacob Hall Slashfilm 12/04/2018
So much of "Hated in the Nation" is smart and weird and fascinating that it's a shame the whole thing isn't just a little bit tighter. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
