Black Mirror from Best Shows on Netflix

Black Mirror 1 100x100

Black Mirror is a UK science fiction-horror anthology series produced (and primarily written) by Dead Set creator Charlie Brooker. The episodes all explore techno-paranoia and general unease with the world. The series is inspired by The Twilight Zone, the Trope Codifier for shows of its type. The series' name comes from the reflection visible in a blackened digital screen. As each episode is set in its own continuity, specific examples can be found in the appropriate series page (linked below), whilst recurring tropes can be found on this page. The first series ended up winning the International Emmy for best TV movie or miniseries, and the second series started on 11th of Feb 2013. There has also been a Christmas Special, released in the UK on December 16th 2014. Additionally, Brooker has confirmed the series will soon return with a third series in 2015. The same year it was revealed that Netflix had picked up the show. It has since been announced that Netflix will be the worldwide distributor of the show's third season as a Netflix Original, Channel 4 having been outbid for the broadcasting rights in the UK and Ireland.
