Black Mirror: Ranking Every Episode From Worst To Best
9. White Christmas
Black Mirror isn’t the first show that jumps to mind as a good fit for Christmastime, but nonetheless along came White Christmas – a feature-length portmanteau chiller containing three interlinked narratives each concerned with a sickening use of some new piece of tech.
Black Mirror: The Movie is a brilliant idea, although it has to be said that the vignettes vary in quality. The best is the final segment, which imagines a world where you can 'block' people in reality, instead of only on social media. It also features the show's first big American guest star in Mad Men's John Hamm, who is great value as someone with even fewer morals than Don Draper.
A cruel-hearted yet tongue-in-cheek subversion of what we expect from yuletide entertainment, there is little doubt that White Christmas is the bleakest Christmas special you will ever watch.
