What's the best Black Mirror episode of all time? Vote now
Some have given us nightmares, others have thrilled us. But which of the 23 stories is the very best? You decide.
After four long years of waiting, it's finally time to return to Charlie Brooker's treasure trove of dark sci-fi stories, as hit anthology series Black Mirror returns to Netflix.
The trailer for the long-awaited sixth season of the anthology series has just been released, giving us a sense of the horrors and technological terrors in store for this new outing.
As is customary for the series, the new season has an absolutely stacked cast-list, with the likes of Aaron Paul, Ben Barnes, Himesh Patel, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Paapa Essiedu, Salma Hayek Pinault, and Zazie Beetz all lining up to be a part of the chaos.
Brooker has said that he began writing the new season "by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect" and teased that he's included some things he swore he would never do. Colour us ridiculously excited.
However, with the arrival of the new season now just weeks away, it got us thinking - what is the fan-favourite best Black Mirror episode of all time?
