What is the most disturbing Black Mirror?

The show is about the nature of technology - does it change our behaviour or our society?

Is our humanity the key to unlocking it's darker potential? We examine and dissect its first 11 seasons.

It must have been a momentous year for the creators of Black Mirror. Not only did they give us a spectacular film, directed by the talented Charlie Watts, but they also gave us an amazing series, that in five incredible and emotional episodes tackles some very big questions. So, which of the 10 episodes is the best? Well that is something that everyone can really debate. The answer we have given you is the least important. Which episode is the best of Black Mirror 2025 is up to you and us. What will you be looking at during your next shower?

A New World (Episode 3). The episode starts with a character called Charlie sitting at a table eating a meal. She takes a sip of her drink and asks if you want to buy the DVD. So what are we buying? The DVD is the 'new world'. We quickly see that this is where everything starts. This DVD not only shows us how far we've come from a primitive state, but reminds us that we haven't arrived in anything like an advanced state. It's not just that she shows us the old and new. For those who may think that we've progressed to be more technologically advance than were in 1984, I have to tell you that I believe the 'new world' is worse than that. Because instead of simply being a place where people are living differently, there is now no need for any of us to do anything. Everything is provided by robots. There are no limits on us except the natural environment, as the technology has changed our world so much that we're beginning to resemble bugs in the rainforest. You are just a creature, in need of the basic essentials. Everything else, is provided for you, by these machines. That really is our new world. The show is so clever in giving an argument about where we're going with technology and all its power. We know in some way where we've ended up, but we're only in a dream sequence where we go through different life stages and see how little value we place on human existence. When the episode is over and we wake up from this journey we have realised something is wrong.

How many endings are in Bandersnatch?

At a press conference, it was suggested that as the audience is choosing their ending, there would be an infinite number of them.

But while we're on this subject, could you talk us through some of the most popular? The one that made the most money, the one you enjoyed the most and the one you like the best? It's difficult to say exactly how many endings there are, but we can say with a lot of confidence that it's a lot more than the five or six endings we saw at the end of Episode One. What happens if you watch more than one ending? I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens if you watch more than one, because we don't know whether any of the endings will have any bearing on what happens in the next episode. There is a possibility that there will be a different ending if you watch two endings. I can't think of any case where that's happened before, but we did find some similarities between the two endings, and that got us thinking about what might happen if you watch two endings. We've played around with a couple of ideas and have created an idea for a possible second ending, but there are still many other possible endings, so we won't know for sure until we finish the full game.

I heard you say something that's interesting. You said that there was a big philosophical difference between the end of episode one and the end of episode two, and that's why the story is changing. So what does that mean?

There's a difference in the way that film and television works. It's a different way of storytelling. In movies, you generally cut to black, and then in the next shot there's usually an effect or a musical score that gives you the impression of movement and change. In a television series, though, you're always in the same time and place and the story never really ends. That's one reason why we wanted to make Bandersnatch, because we thought it was really hard to get across the idea that one event could just keep moving on and on.

Is the interactive Black Mirror good?

The latest episode of Black Mirror, White Bear, has been criticised for what some readers claim is its portrayal of autistic people.

(Spoilers follow.)

This episode of Black Mirror, about a man who receives an implant in his brain that enables him to do anything he wishes, is being labelled 'offensive' and 'problematic' by social media users. (This is not an episode I have yet seen).

The episode, released today, was released yesterday as a trailer - I did not see it until just now. The trailer gives hints as to how 'White Bear' could be similar to the early episodes of the series which were also set in a near future dystopian-landscape.

It has been reported on several websites including, of course, Screen Rant and they all seem to point in the same direction of it is offensive to portray this kind of person. To summarise the arguments, someone who comments on Black Mirror's Facebook page says: A truly disturbing portrayal of the modern society. The portrayal of 'neurotypical' people by disabled people is utterly repulsive. How any writer can create such a horrid caricature of one of the groups of people I'm sure I'm too afraid to say

So, is it really that offensive or is it a misunderstanding? If I say that 'neurotypical' is not a term that can be used in a positive way about how other people describe themselves, would that not be accurate? And what, then, are you telling us? Are we to believe that those who use the word think of themselves as 'disabled' because it makes them feel bad to be described in such a way by another person? Are we to believe that those who use the term neurotypical consider themselves 'better' than those who choose not to and find it offensive when they consider themselves to be 'inferior'? That might seem like a stretch but it is precisely how some people who speak of themselves as neurotypical feel. People often feel offended and defensive about this kind of thing and it is important to remember that not everyone feels comfortable with their disability identity.
