Black Mirror is a British anthology television series created by Charlie Brooker, which debuted on Channel 4 in 2011 before moving to Netflix in 2016, presenting standalone episodes with different characters and settings that explore speculative near-future dystopias shaped by emerging technology. Brooker described the title's reference as the cold, shiny screen found on every wall, desk and hand, meaning televisions, monitors and smartphones alike. The series is credited with reviving the anthology format for a streaming-era audience and is regarded by many critics as among the strongest television of the 2010s, winning three consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Television Movie for its episodes San Junipero, USS Callister and the interactive film Bandersnatch.
