Ranking all 6 seasons of Black Mirror (And what the people think of each season)

As a veteran gamer and binge-watcher of all things intriguing, I must say that Black Mirror has been a rollercoaster ride through the twisted labyrinth of technology and humanity. From its humble beginnings in 2011 to the upcoming seventh season in 2025, each episode has left me on the edge of my seat, questioning the very nature of our digital existence.

Ever since its debut in 2011, Black Mirror has been creating a stir with each new season thanks to its innovative exploration of diverse genres. Although it’s already produced two special episodes – “Black Mirror: White Christmas” (2014) and “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” (2018) – the seventh series is currently being developed for release in 2025.

As a gamer, I can’t help but get sucked into this series, even though each season takes me to different episodes. The unique setting, a dystopian world centered around technology, is what draws me in. The way they intertwine complex societal issues with the effects of technology on humanity keeps me engaged right up until the final episode, despite some less-than-stellar ratings for one particular season.
