Black Mirror: Every Major Plot Twist Ranked From Worst To Best
3. The Princess Was Already Released - The National Anthem
Black Mirror's pilot episode was also its grossest. With the royal princess kidnapped, the Prime Minister (Rory Kinnear) is forced to have sex with a pig on live television.
The whole of the nation is glued to their screens through the horrid event... Meaning that no one is around to see the princess released BEFORE the sex act is committed. The kidnapper was actually a twisted artist who wanted to perform a social experiment to prove society's obsession with the media.
The National Anthem isn't the show's subtlest episode but this twist is still one of the cruelest Charlie Brooker and his team have ever pulled off.
