10 Most Underrated 'Black Mirror' Episodes, Ranked

Inspired by the iconic The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror has quickly become one of the most exciting television shows in the sci-fi genre as well as one of the best series of the 21st century. This is due in part to the way the Netflix show provides audiences with thought-provoking and mind-bending episodes that delve into the dangers of contemporary, highly advanced technology and the digital world while shedding light on important social issues.

10 "Metalhead" Season 4, Episode 5 Metalhead is perhaps one of the least-watched Black Mirror episodes. Although it certainly isn't the best out of the bunch, it still deserves a bit more love from general audiences. The hard sci-fi episode of the series introduces audiences to a well-crafted post-apocalyptic landscape of Scottish Moors, focusing on a woman, played by Maxine Peake, who attempts to survive in a land full of robotic dogs.

8 "Loch Henry" Season 6, Episode 2 Although Joan Is Awful and Beyond the Sea were the most talked-about episodes of Black Mirror's latest chapter, Loch Henry is also worth mentioning as one of the best. The story focuses on a young couple who travel to a Scottish town to start to work on a nature documentary, only to find themselves caught on a web involving a local story with shocking events.

6 "USS Callister" Season 4, Episode 1 Clearly inspired by the original Star Trek series, USS Callister is surprisingly one of Black Mirror's least discussed episodes. The first chapter of season 4 follows Jesse Plemons' Captain Robert Daly, who presides over his crew with courage and guides them on intergalactic quests. However, when a new recruit steps into the picture, she soon discovers that nothing is what it seems.

4 "Smithereens" Season 5, Episode 2 Although Striking Vipers deserves a spot on this list, Smithereens is arguably the best Black Mirror episode from season 5, even if it is still under-watched by the series' target audience. The crime drama stars Andrew Scott, Damson Idris, and Topher Grace and focuses on a cab driver who becomes the center of attention on a day that spirals out of control.
