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.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

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.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
