Where to start with Black Mirror

Anywhere. It is an anthology and every episode is its own story with its own cast, so there is no wrong order and no episode you have to see first. The one exception in the whole run is USS Callister, in series 4, which has a sequel at the end of series 7: watch those two the right way round and everything else is free. If you want the usual advice, most people start at series 3 episode 1, Nosedive, and go from there.

  1. 1
    Series 3 Black Mirror

    Six episodes and the first Netflix run, which is where most people are told to start. Nosedive, San Junipero and Shut Up and Dance are all in here.

  2. 2
    Series 1 and 2 Black Mirror

    The Channel 4 years. Six episodes total, harder and cheaper-looking, and the ones the reputation was built on.

  3. 3
    White Christmas White Christmas

    The 2014 special. Feature length, three stories in one, and widely reckoned the best thing the show has done.

  4. 4
    Series 4 to 7 Black Mirror

    Twenty episodes, ending on the sequel to series 4's opener.

  5. 5
    Bandersnatch Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

    If you can find it. It is a choose-your-own film rather than an episode, and Netflix took it down in May 2025.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
