Season 1
The future is bright.
Synopsis
Black Mirror (2011), Season 1 — watch all 3 episodes online on iFILM. Charlie Brooker's Channel 4 anthology arrived with its format already fully formed: three standalone stories, no shared cast, no continuity — just the recurring idea that technology has a way of turning people against themselves.
"The National Anthem" corners a sitting prime minister with an ultimatum the whole country watches unfold in real time. "Fifteen Million Merits" builds a world where people pedal exercise bikes for screen credit, and one man's attempt to get his friend out of the system reveals the exit is another trap. "The Entire History of You" fits a memory-recording implant into a marriage that is already fraying and watches what happens when replaying every moment becomes an obsession.
Three episodes, three futures, one consistent dread. For a debut season it is an unusually confident and unsparing piece of television. Stream Black Mirror Season 1 online on iFILM.
