When you think about Black Mirror, you probably don’t think about romance and fuzzy feelings right away. But there are three tame episodes of this unnerving scifi series that are surprisingly uplifting! If you’re looking to dip your toes into this series, here are three episodes to start with. Black Mirror is an anthology, so there’s no need to watch the episodes in order!
1. San Junipero
Season three, episode four is one of our favorites! In this nostalgic, neon episode, two women find each other and the truth about their world. Though just as high-concept and at times, chilling, as some of the other episodes, San Junipero is sure to make you smile! The romance is absolutely swoon-worthy, and the eighties music will have you dancing as you watch!
2. Hang the DJ
Hang the DJ is season four, episode four! It follows characters Amy and Frank as they navigate a structured dating system in a candy-colored world. This episode is full of witty banter and fuzzy feelings. We can’t get enough of these two.
3. Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too
While the first two episodes we mentioned are romantic, this one is about the relationship between two sisters! Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too follows Rachel and Jack as they team up to help rescue a self-aware doll. This episode is a wild ride, to be sure, but uplifting all the same!
