I've only seen a handful so far, but I really liked the haunted house video game episode from the first season.

San Junipero is a great episode, the technology isn't center stage but instead is used to drive a very human story (which I think is true of all the good black mirror episodes). Archangel is one where the social consequences of a technology drive the motivations of all the characters with no bad guy but bad behaviours which are completely understandable. Last hated in the nation is a fun procedural :)

'15 Million Merits', hands-down. Great story, great acting. "The Entire History of You" is also awesome.

I liked "Archangel", like many of the episodes it is not far in our future and is quite scary.

1. What makes a Black Mirror episode stand out as your favorite?

The themes and concepts explored in each episode are thought-provoking and often hit close to home, making them memorable and impactful.

2. Is there a particular episode that has stayed with you long after watching it?

For me, "San Junipero" is the most unforgettable episode due to its emotional storyline and exploration of the afterlife.

3. Which episode do you think best represents the overall tone and message of Black Mirror?

I believe "Nosedive" perfectly encapsulates the show's critique of society's obsession with social media and how it can lead to a dystopian future.

4. Do you have a favorite episode based on its technological innovations or advancements?

"USS Callister" stands out to me for its use of virtual reality and artificial intelligence to create a fully immersive gaming experience.

5. Are there any episodes that you would recommend to someone who is new to Black Mirror?

"Fifteen Million Merits" is a great introductory episode that showcases the show's dark and satirical humor, as well as its commentary on consumerism and reality TV.
