Black Mirror Episodes Ranked

9/10 Engaging mystery and great conclusion (Tied with 2nd ig)

9/10

9/10 Creates an interesting world, antagonist, mystery, and ties them all together by the end. I can definitely see how some people could find parts of it as a cop-out, but I didn't.

8/10

8/10 Amazing worldbuilding.

8/10 Possibly the most twists in an episode.

8/10 An anthology inside of an anthology show. Very cool.

7/10 Might not be the most original Black Mirror episode but it certainly was engaging throughout its entire run. The ending (after-credit) scenes actually are a pretty cool way to end the episode even it is seen as disappointing and cheap.

7/10 Feels like a movie more than any other Black Mirror. The ending was cool but wasn't concluded as most climactic or impactful as I would've hoped.

7/10

7/10

7/10 Amazing world-building and visuals, missed out on the whole interesting plot thing. While the ending scene was good, the one before (the climax) was a big "ok??? and???" moment.

6/10 Didn't feel like a Black Mirror episode, but that's ok, it's cool when they try new things. Great adrenaline-rush from beginning to end, okay ending, but not much else. The minimalist approach and vibe was a cool approach to take for a Black Mirror episode, but there was so much that could have been explored and benefitted the episode. Leaving the antagonist as a mystery was an okay decision, but I think it would have been cool to give more hints about its backstory (granted the writers had one)

6/10

6/10 Full of plot holes and kind of dumb moments but still fun.

5/10 Premise was kind of dumb but was interesting to see unfold. Waldo was written as the most unfunny character possible and while I know that was probably the point, it makes the whole episode parody level and unrealistic to see everybody laughing at it.

5/10 Starts interesting, then it feels like it contradicts its whole technology. Once it shows all of its surprises, it doesn't quite know where to go. The dialogue was fun and nice to listen to.

4/10 After watching about the first 5 minutes, you know what to expect for the rest of the episode.

3/10 Reused plot devices and nothing to say. This episode was written like other episodes that focused on technology that "could" happen, except this time it made no sense why it would be implemented or how.

2/10 The most pointless and predictable episode of the entire show. Boring as hell. No surprises. Technology was underdeveloped and a waste of a good concept. Expected me to feel emotionally attached to poorly developed characters.

1/10 forgot it was black mirror. I never understood the defenses some people gave to this episode. Like, "Oh, everyone only hates it because Miley Cyrus is in it," even though I thought she was actually one of the better actors in this. "You're all missing the point! It's a parody of Disney Channel Originals so of course it will have the same tone and flaws of one!" Using horrible Disney tropes without adding onto or making fun of them isn't parody, and that's what this episode did with how I see it. Has a plot akin to a Disney Original (only with a bit more edge thrown in because they're Black Mirror, why not), uses numerous tropes without modifying them in a way that is original or satire, has tonal whiplash, and filled with painfully cringey moments. Black Mirror doesn't need to stick to any specific tone or idea, but just because it tries something different doesn't mean it's going to be good. And by God, was this not good.
