On phone so can't do this justice but white Christmas, history if you, and San junipero should be top 3 in that order. National anthem and Waldo are absolutely without a doubt the bottom 2. Without question.

I figured I would catch a little hell on this board for my order, but I think you're really going to get it.

I don't know how I would rank all of them specifically but I'd have hated in the nation higher than most people do and San junipero lower than most people do.

White bear, white christmas, and 15 million merits were some of my favorites. I think I wanted to like nosedive more than I ended up liking it. Shut up and dance is probably top 5 for me too.

All this thread tells me is that this show is not for me. I watched National anthem first and thought it was okay and was interested with the shows concept. I watched 15 million merits next and thought it was aweful and probably the most boring hour of tv I've ever watched. I saw a thread not too long ago saying that the Entire History of You was one of the best episodes so I gave that one a try and came away unimpressed. I think I'm done with this one.

Hated in the Nation and White Christmas were my favorites. San Junipero was good, but I figured out what was going on 15 minutes into it.

Kinda like a modern day Twilight Zone. Most of the episodes revolve around futuristic-type elements, but not so unrealistic like space ships and flying cars, more along the lines of increased technology integrated into our daily lives.

PLEASE NOTE that each episode is stand-alone and not connected to the others, so you can watch in any random order you wish. With that in mind DO.NOT. watch S1E1 first. It is one of the 2 worst episodes of the entire franchise, and is fundamentally different than the rest as well. I can't count how many people hear such great things about BM, sit down to give it a go, and are so let down by S1E1 that they quit.

Agree.

I would say to watch them in order though, but just know that the first episode is one of the worst and not very good.


My rankings are tough, since I tend to view them in tiers instead of a straight up list (although The Entire history of You is hands down the best IMO):

The Entire History of You
Fifteen Million Merits
Shut Up and Dance
White Christmas


San Junipero
White Bear
Playtest


Be Right Back
Nosedive
Men Against Fire


National Anthem
Waldo Moment



Haven't seen Hated in the Nation yet. I always say I hope to watch it soon, but I haven't, partially because I don't want to not have any Black Mirror left to watch.

It's more in line with The Outer Limits.

I enjoyed that one a lot. It might even be my #1 episode of the series.

2. 15 Million Merits (not sure why several posters on here said to skip)


And that would be one of my bottom three.

Guess the show is good at appealing to a wide audience.

I hated the bottom three episodes. I think the top 3 are among the best things ever aired on TV.
