Featuring stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world. Each story features its own cast of unique characters, including stars like Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Help"), Alice Eve, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tom Cullen and Jerome Flynn ("Game of Thrones"). Joe Wright, Dan Trachtenberg, and James Watkins are among the featured directors.

The only dud is media satire The Waldo Moment, which feels like an overextended sketch. But it's still gratifying to see this kind of ambition on British TV. Go to Full Review
Maura Johnston Boston Globe 12/03/2014
The futures that its six episodes examine are uncannily similar to the present day... But that resemblance to now is what makes its underlying messages about technology butting up against human life so powerful Go to Full Review

The second season, released in 2013 and made up of three other episodes with independent stories, remains faithful to the tragic tone of the previous one. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

In Black Mirror, our tuned-in, switched-on, networked-up society sits for its portrait. Go to Full Review
Erin Donnelly Refinery29 11/16/2017
It's the Twilight Zone for modern, technology-obsessed times, with important takes on politics and human nature. Each and every episode has a way of getting under the viewer's skin. Go to Full Review
Ryan Lambie Den of Geek 11/15/2017
It's still the case that, right now, there's nothing else on television remotely like Black Mirror. More please, Mr. Brooker. Go to Full Review

Velibor R May 15 After fantastic season 1 the season 2 seems like a bad horor movie See more Jesús C Apr 24 The idea is interesting, topics that are taboo or sensitive. Different ways to solve problems or view issues. Just cannot understand why the need to be so negative of everything. Why aleats focus on the bad of the world when there is so much good also. Mixing it up would make it so much better. It drains you. If you want to be entertaines without feeling bad, do Not watch this. If you are into black humor and end of the world stuff, this is for you. See more Dinos K 05/08/2024 Good season but the first season especially episode 2) was better See more Nick S @NickSpecter 07/29/2023 Very good season, I'd say even better than season 1. It's more technology-focused and has some interesting concepts. I really enjoyed all of them, with White Bear being my least favorite and White Christmas being the most interesting concept. See more Gnome C 07/23/2023 All worth seeing. The Waldo moment is a story that has been told and fails to convince the watcher there is any real possibility of this becoming a reality. See more Matthew C 07/20/2023 Slightly better than season 1, but not by a lot. Be Right Back and White Bear are my 2 faves. See more Read all reviews
