10 TV Shows You Need To Binge Watch Right Now

Where To Binge: Netflix.

Though Black Mirror's fifth season is a bit of a dud, the joy of the series is that you don't really have to watch it. Each episode tells a single story, and you can honestly watch them in any order depending on what you're in the mood for.

In short, every episode tells a story centred around the possibility and dangers of technology and what the future holds, and between episodes it varies from sci-fi, horror, thriller, romance, mystery, and post-apocalyptic drama.

There's an episode about a world where social media dictates social class (Nosedive), and one where a mourning woman brings her boyfriend back as an AI unit (Be Right Back). There's also episodes about tracking systems, ominous museums, war, deadly obsessions, politics, and computer hacking.

Equal parts horrific, shocking, thought-provoking, confrontational and inventive, Black Mirror is an easy show to get stuck into, and is surely unlike any anthology series you're likely to find.
