Black Mirror has become quite a big hit over the last few years. The anthology series has been around for a long time now, and many disturbing and strangely heartwarming moments have come from it.
For example, one of the episodes of this show features a seemingly nice character who collects DNA from the people whom he works with, many of which do not show him much appreciation. There have also been some other interesting moments on the show. But, not all episodes are all that popular. Here are the best and worst ones, according to IMDb users.
Best: The Entire History Of You (8.6)
“The Entire History Of You” is one of the most popular episodes of this series, and it has managed to earn 8.6 stars out of a possible 10 on IMDb. Like many of the episodes of Black Mirror, this one focuses on an idea that seems fairly intriguing to most people.
The characters in this episode can recall anything at any time, and that is because their memories are recorded as if they were movies. This means that they cannot ever forget anything, and, though that sounds like it would be very convenient, this episode shows it’s not that great.
Worst: Arkangel (7.3)
“Arkangel” is one of the least liked episodes of this series, and it has earned an overall rating of 7.3 stars on IMDb. This episode focuses on a mother who gets a bit overprotective when she decides to invest in a technology that will allow her to know everything that her daughter is up to all the time.
This technology allows her to view everything her daughter views, and it even allows her to control what she can see. It filters out anything that might be disturbing to her. However, as with most Black Mirror episodes, this doesn’t end well.
Best: San Junipero (8.6)
This episode has a rating of 8.6 on IMDb, and part of the reason for that could be the fact that this episode is lighthearted, especially in comparison to the other episodes in the series. While many of them show the dark things that technology can do, this episode focuses more on the good things that can come along with it.
Another thing that makes this episode so different than any of the others in this series is that it tends to make viewers very emotional. This episode is the fourth one in the third season of the show.
Worst: Striking Vipers (6.8)
“Striking Vipers” is the first episode in the fifth season of this series, and it has been given a rating of 6.8 stars on IMBb, making it one of the least-liked episodes in the series so far. In this episode, some old friends reconnect with one another, and they play an old videogame together.
However, in true Black Mirror fashion, the story is not as simple as it sounds. Also, despite the fact that this is not one of the episodes with a high rating, there are still people who seem to enjoy it, as it comes with an interesting message.
Best: Black Museum (8.7)
“Black Museum” is one of the highest-rated episodes in the series, and fans have given it 8.7 stars on IMDb. The things that can be seen in museums often have very interesting stories behind them, and that is what this episode puts a major focus on.
One of the things that makes this episode so interesting is the fact that it does not just focus on one story. Instead, it actually focuses on many different stories, and they are about the artifacts in the museum that is featured in this episode. Each story is creepy as well as unique.
Worst: The Waldo Moment (6.7)
“The Waldo Moment” is one of the lowest-rated episodes of the series, and it has 6.7 stars on IMDb. While many of the episodes of this series are very popular, this is not one of them.
This episode focuses on someone who provides the voice for a crude, sarcastic animated character. This character ends up getting into politics, and that is where the episode takes an interesting turn. Fans of the series might be interested to know that the name of this episode is a reference to a term that is often used in the world of politics.
Best: Hang The DJ (8.8)
“Hang The DJ” has 8.8 stars on IMDb, and it puts a focus on the world of dating and how the ways in which technology impacts it. Many people would like to know when and if their relationship with their partner is going to end, and that is what this episode is about.
The two main characters have a bunch of meaningless relationships with others, and yet, they keep connecting with each other. Near the end of the episode, they decide to ignore the system and be together. The episode also shows that others have done the same thing.
Worst: Metalhead (6.6)
One of the many things that makes the episode called “Metalhead” unique is the fact that it is the only black and white episode in the series so far, and it has an overall rating of 6.6 stars. It seems that one of the reasons why this episode has a much lower rating than some of the other ones is because of the fact that it is very grim.
Many episodes of Black Mirror have dark endings to them, but this one seems a bit darker than most of them. This is the fifth episode in the fourth season.
Best: White Christmas (9.1)
“White Christmas” is the highest-rated episode of the series. One of the many interesting facts about this episode is that it stars actor Jon Hamm, and he plays a character named Matt.
This is one episode where viewers really have to pay a lot of attention to the story, as there are actually multiple storylines featured in it. However, this episode was written very well, and the storylines all end up coming together in the end. This is the fourth episode in the second season of the show.
Worst: Rachel, Jack And Ashley Too (6)
The episode called “Rachel, Jack And Ashley Too” is one that stars Miley Cyrus, and it has a rating of 6 stars on IMDb, making it the lowest-rated episode of the series so far. This episode is about the fan of a pop star, and how she wants to connect with her. It also shows the dark side of being a famous person.
However, there are quite a few people who do not like it as much as some of the other episodes of the show. Some viewers think the story is just a bit predictable, making it rather unlikable.
