8 Best Anthology Shows Ever

8. Black Mirror

Black Mirror has now reached its fifth season on Netflix, after growing in popularity on Channel 4 when it first began.

The premise of the episodes in the British TV series tend to follow futuristic or dystopian narratives, with different actors every time, to portray the often dark toned stories. Showrunner Charlie Brooker focuses on the effects technology could have on society and on individuals - ranging from apps in which people rate each other, to talking Miley Cyrus dolls.

In 2018, the creators of the show made an interactive episode of film length called Bandersnatch, in which the audience could pick and choose the path of the protagonist in the narrative at different moments, effecting how his life played out. The episode started out simple enough - as the players were given the option of what the character would have for breakfast, but ultimately ended in some dire consequences.

The stand alone episodes are satirical in nature as they focus on what the future could hold for the world if technology got out of hand.
