      Black Mirror - Season 3, Episode 3

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Terrifically tense and twisty, "Shut Up and Dance" is well-paced and incredibly unsettling, leaving viewers stunned and with a greater distaste for humanity than normally evoked from an average episode Black Mirror.

      Previous Critic's profile Jackie Strause Hollywood Reporter Lawther's performance stands out and the episode will leave viewers questioning humanity. Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Critic's profile Charles Bramesco New York Magazine/Vulture There's some decent character work in the middle...but the rest is sheer unpleasantness in want of a greater statement. Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Critic's profile Tim Molloy TheWrap No episode of "Black Mirror" will leave you feeling worse about humanity than this one. It's brilliantly plotted and paced, and the ultimate prank is on you. Oh, also? It could happen. Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Critic's profile Donnie Kwak The Ringer “Shut Up and Dance” is one of the more chilling Black Mirror episodes because there is nothing futuristic or fantastical about it... Jul 18, 2023 Full Review Critic's profile Jacob Hall Slashfilm It's not that "Shut Up and Dance" is a bad hour of entertainment - it's that it's a half-measure approach to a concept we've seen done a dozen times before and frequently executed with more menace and wit. Dec 4, 2018 Full Review Critic's profile Aubrey Page Collider "Shut Up and Dance" certainly has its merits, but it's also perhaps the most succinct example of just how wrong Black Mirror can go.
