Black Mirror
Channel 4/Netflix
2011-present
Black Mirror— from its first days on British television to its current life as a streaming sensation reappearing to shock and delight every few years — has made its name as an anthology of unusual ambition and cumulative power.
Its sense of dystopia, one generated at every turn by the “black mirrors” all of us carry in our pockets, takes many avenues.
Sometimes the worlds depicted are post-apocalyptic; sometimes the social order has degraded to simply make it feel that way.
Few other series have demonstrated the versatility and ambition of Black Mirror to speak on this moment.
