Best starter episode for Black Mirror?

Trying to get my S/O to watch the series for first time. I was thinking 15 Million Merits, Nosedive, or Entire History of You would be good first episodes to watch.
Any recommendations?
ETA: My favorite episode is White Christmas and I feel like that would require too much attention span for her

I think 15 Million Merits is a good one. The first one I saw really was Striking Vipers because they talked about it on the Tiny Meat Gang podcast. I was wondering what the hell was going on

Nosedive
Its modern, current society critique and a funny chick episode.

USS Callister and White Christmas are both pretty good

Do NOT start with The National Anthem. I can't tell you how many people gave up on the show because it starts off with that episode. 15 Million Merits kept me in and The Entire History of You hooked me. I'd start with that to get a feel of the show. If you can't get behind that one, then the show isn't for you.

Nosedive is the most “ this is where we are going fast” episode
Start there

Shutup and Dance is pretty nuts

I enjoyed 15 Million Merits, but for some reason, many didn't. So, for that reason, I might skip that one until she's onboard.
I'd start with The Entire History of You, Nosedive (even though this would be too depressing for me to watch now in light of current societal trends), San Junipero, or Hang the DJ.

i knew i wanted to watch all of them so i started in order.
If you just want one to see if its your thing then I recommend San Junipero or The Entire History of You

I'm not sure I'd start with San Junipero. It's too positive of an ending. You can't get her hopes up that this show will ever end happily! Use San Junipero as a palate cleanser if she starts losing interest. It's the best episode of the show imo, so save it for later

The Entire History of You.
Brilliant and poignant episode that features the very best of what black mirror tries to go for - a simple sci-fi dystopian world that is maybe 20 years away from current day. And the story is super relatable and not far fetched from how a normal person would react to having the capability of rewatching and over analyzing everything that they see. Honestly the best of the series IMO.

Best episode by far imo. This one and San Junipero are the ones I remember the most

I hope the new ones coming soon are good. Season 5 was fricking awful. It was only 3 episodes and they were some of the worst of the whole series.

That was actually the first episode I watched. I’m glad I didn’t quit the show but it was pretty tempting with that being my first impression.

I would advise anyone that they can really start anywhere, but just skip the whole last season. It was awful.
