- Playtest (Season 3) The final “it was all a dream” twist in “Playtest” is the cherry on top of a deliciously twisted “Black Mirror” sundae. Wyatt Russell plays Cooper, who accepts an offer to test out an advanced, virtual-reality horror video game but gets much more trauma than he signed up for.

When they finally track her down, things take a strange turn. Con...

That "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" is the second lowest-rated episode of Black Mirror speaks to the quality of the series overall, as it's passable and best and somewhat divisive at worst. Starring Miley Cyrus as pop singer Ashley O, the episode depicts her story as a troubled artist in the industry, with another arc covering two of her fans, teenage sisters Rachel (Angourie Rice) and Jack Goggins (Madison Davenport). The sisters have the popular doll "Ashley Too," which is essentially a clon...

"Beyond the Sea" was one of the most highly-anticipated episodes in Black Mirror's sixth season, as it featured some incredible talents.

Meanwhile, back on earth, they have replicas they can control to essentially take breaks from the mentally taxing isolation and reality they face daily as they travel further from home....

- The Good, the bad, and the Bandersnatched. Scroll through to see how we ranked all six seasons of Netflix's Black Mirror, plus interactive film Bandersnatch.
- No. 28: "Shut Up and Dance" (Season 3) A tense and plausible nightmare about a young man (Alex Lawther) blackmailed by hackers that leaves you feeling awful about every character involved and wanting to take a shower.
- No. 27: "The Waldo Moment" (Season 2) The closest Black Mirror has to an agreed-upon misfire, this political spoof doesn't quite connect as it follows the rise of a Triumph the Insult Comic Dog-like figure (Daniel Rigby).
- No. 26: "Mazey Day" (Season 6) This episode is pretty thin by Black Mirror standards, and rests almost entirely on the genuinely surprising twist that shifts the whole story more into supernatural horror territory than the show's typical sci-fi shenanigans.
