“Bringing it all to life we’ve got an incredible roster of disgustingly skilful, smart directors working with a cast of actors so talented they frankly have no right to exist,” he added. “I can’t wait for people to binge their way through it all and hope they enjoy it — especially the bits they shouldn’t.”
Black Mirrormade its debut on Netflix in 2016 after its first two seasons premiered onChannel 4in the UK. Under Netflix, it’s gone on to air three additional seasons plus an interactive special.
The series explores a “twisted, high-tech near-future where humanity’s greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide,” according to Netflix’sofficial website.

“I think it resonates,” Jones said in 2016. “If people come away thinking, ‘You’ve dramatized something I’ve never seen before, you’ve tapped into something I worry about, you’ve made me sort of think,’ then that’s great.”
Black Mirrorhas been met with critical acclaim over the years. OnRotten Tomatoes, the first season received a 98% rating while the second received an 87% score.
Michael Kelly, who played a military psychologist in the fifthBlack Mirrorepisode of season 3, toldPEOPLEin 2016 that “the biggest thing of all of the episodes is it makes you question yourself.”
“It makes you look in the mirror and think, ‘Wow. What would I do in that scenario? Is that me? Have I gone that far? Am I heading in that direction? This is happening to us?'” he continued. “There’s something that makes you question yourself and think about your moral compass and where you are in the world. I think it’s cool to sit on it for a couple days … It’s a great way to consume it.”
