After two seasons on Channel 4, Charlie Brooker's jet-black satire made the move to Netflix for its third season last year, but while the platform changed the quality has been remarkably consistent throughout its 13 episodes so far.

Since every episode stands on its own this is an easy show to dip in and out of, but after just a couple you'll likely be gripped anyway thanks to the changing but always great cast (notable alumni include Jon Hamm, Hayley Atwell, Daniel Kaluuya, and Bryce Dallas Howard), and the twisted genius of Brooker's writing.

It continues to be incredibly timely and innovative, and while it provides a number of shocks and scares, it's also at times a touching reflection on subjects like death and grief, as well as dealing with new technologies in a way few series could come close to matching.

Return Date: TBC

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
