What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though "Metalhead" is the show's shortest installment, the bleakness of its plot and spareness of its thrills can often make it feel longer -- though some may appreciate its claustrophobic beauty.

This bleak and stripped down survival story is an all-out stunner. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Uproxx 08/17/2018

Why it falters is that it just doesn’t appear to have the kind of complexity, intrigue and discomfort you’re used to from Black Mirror. You hardly get to know anything about the world being inhabited... Go to Full Review Alyssa Bereznak The Ringer 07/18/2023
The result is exactly the eerie sweet spot that the series strives for: a haunting man-versus-machine dynamic that’s realistic enough to keep you up at night. Go to Full Review Jazmine Joyner Ms En Scene 07/08/2020
