The new series of Netflix and Charlie Brooker’s brilliant sci-fi anthology Black Mirror only hit the streaming service on Friday morning – but fans are already proclaiming at least to episodes to be amongst the best stories the series has ever told.

 

The new series has a lot to live up to – Black Mirror has already given us such acclaimed episodes as ‘The National Anthem’, ‘The Entire History of You’ and ‘San Junipero’. Yet these two instalments look set to join the cannon.

One of them is ‘US Callister’, which looks at first glance like a Star Trek parody, but this being Black Mirror, is something far, far more.

 

The other episode is the dating-app satire ‘Hang The DJ’, which people are comparing to ‘San Junipero’, the incredible 1980s love story that was many people’s pick of season 3.
