20 TV Episodes That Are Totally Flawless
6. San Junipero - Black Mirror
Like The Twilight Zone, Charlie Brooker's anthology series Black Mirror has always been concerned with disturbing audiences with cruel what-if scenarios and the dangers of the unknown.
Also like The Twilight Zone, though, Black Mirror has an unforgettable anomaly thanks to the season three sci-fi romance San Junipero, which takes place in a world where the elderly have a chance to live life as their younger selves. For two seemingly mismatched women, this offers a chance at true love.
A beautiful assessment of free will, fate, and the human condition, San Junipero manages to tell an epic love story in a confined one-hour stretch, working wonders off leading stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mackenzie Davis and painting a striking portrait of what it means to grow old, fall in love, and move on from heartache. It's a revelation.
