|ShortSummary = On Christmas Day, Matt and Joe start talking about their past for the first time, after five years that they have been stationed together in a remote cabin. Matt used to help single men seduce women. His clients had optical implants, that allowed him to see through their eyes and give them advice in real-time using the "Eye-Link" technology. His main profession, however, was subjugating artificial copies of clients' consciousness, stored into bean-sized chips called "cookies", into docile personal assistants in charge of running smart houses. Joe reveals that after a domestic squabble, his pregnant girlfriend Beth "blocked" him, using a technology that turned them into incomprehensible pixelated blurs to each other. The block lasted for years, preventing him from talking to Beth or the child, until Beth died in an accident. Joe found the child in Beth's father's cabin, but the man told him that the little girl was not his daughter. Angered, Joe bashed his head with an object and left. After Joe tells Matt that the girl also died in the blizzard, trying to get help for her grandfather, it is revealed that everything is taking place inside Joe's cookie, where Matt was trying to extract Joe's confession, in exchange for his own release from prison. Due to his Eye-Link-related voyeurism, Matt is registered as a sex offender, resulting in him being universally blocked following his release. Joe's artificial consciousness remains trapped in the cabin, having its time perception changed to 1,000 years a minute.

To return the Princess, the kidnapper demands that the country's Prime Minister, Michael Callow, has sexual intercourse with a pig on live television, otherwise he will kill her. Callow refuses to be blackmailed, but public opinion is gradually turning against him. Security forces are trying to locate the kidnapper, but every effort fails. Under pressure, Callow finally agrees to fulfill the demand. The British people gather in public places and watch the shocking broadcast, with no one realising that the kidnapper has already released the Princess, thirty minutes before Callow's sex act began. The kidnapper commits suicide by hanging and he is later revealed to be an artist, who planned the debacle in order to make a statement on people's obsession with the media. One year later, Callow's approval ratings have fully recovered, but his relationship with his wife has suffered a heavy blow. ---- ''Starring'': [[Rory Kinnear]] and [[Lindsay Duncan]]. |LineColor = 101113 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 2 |EpisodeNumber2 = 2 |Title = [[Fifteen Million Merits]] |DirectedBy = [[Euros Lyn]] |WrittenBy = Charlie Brooker & [[Konnie Huq|Kanak Huq]]<!--Credited on screen as "Kanak Huq" – Do not change.--> |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2011|12|11|df=y}} |Viewers = 1.52 |ShortSummary = Bing feels trapped living in an enclosed, automated space, as a member of a society that rides power-generating stationary bikes in exchange for "merits", a form of currency they can use to buy things they need. One day, he hears a girl named Abi singing in the bathroom and falls in love with her. He decides to gift her fifteen million merits, that she can use to buy a ticket for a talent show. Abi accepts and enters the contest, where she is given a psychotropic beverage to drink before she goes on stage. The judges are impressed with her singing, but they suggest she is better suited for pornography. Abi accepts their offer, unable to think clearly. Bing returns to the stationary bikes, determined to earn back the merits he needs to enter the contest himself, and finally manages to buy a new ticket. When he enters the stage, he takes the opportunity to express his indignation and threatens to commit suicide, while other members are watching in the audience. When he finishes talking, the judges offer him a weekly show, where he will have the opportunity to rant about the system.

Using a remote, a user can perform a "re-do", playing back their memories directly to their eye or to a video monitor. At a dinner party, Liam is suspicious of his wife Ffion's behaviour towards a man named Jonas. Returning home, Ffion admits that she used to be in a relationship with him. The next morning, Liam drunkenly heads to Jonas' house and forces him to delete every memory of sexual intercourse he had with Ffion. In the memories appearing on the monitor, Liam notices one from the time when he and Ffion were already in a relationship. Liam, afraid that he might not be the biological father of his child, returns home and demands that Ffion show him the re-do of that specific sexual encounter, in order to prove that they had used a condom. The re-do verifies that the two of them had unprotected sex. Sometime later, having been left alone in his house, Liam goes to the bathroom and uses a razor blade to cut out the grain from behind his ear. ---- ''Starring'': [[Toby Kebbell]] and [[Jodie Whittaker]]. |LineColor = 101113 }} }} ===Series 2 (2013)=== {{Episode table |background=#11A7F1 |overall=5 |series=5 |title=20 |director=15 |writer=30 |airdate=15 |viewers=10 |country=UK |viewersR=<ref name="viewers" /> |episodes= {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 4 |EpisodeNumber2 = 1 |Title = [[Be Right Back]] |DirectedBy = [[Owen Harris (director)|Owen Harris]] |WrittenBy = [[Charlie Brooker]] |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2013|2|11|df=y}} |Viewers = 2.01 |ShortSummary = Ash lives with his girlfriend Martha, spending a lot of time on social media, until one day he dies in a traffic accident. A few days later, Martha finds out that she is pregnant and decides to use a new technology that is able to simulate Ash's voice and personality on the phone, based on his social media profile and other audiovisual material. This service helps her overcome her despair, until one day she accidentally drops her phone and panics. The artificial Ash tells her of the service's experimental stage, in which she agrees to have the replica transferred into a synthetic body, almost identical to Ash. However, Martha realises that the android is not able to replicate the small details in her loved one's behaviour and starts distancing herself from it. Finally, Martha takes the artificial Ash to a cliff and orders it to jump off. As it begins to follow the order, Martha expresses her frustration that Ash would not have simply obeyed. As a response, the android starts begging for its life. Unable to get rid of it, she ends up keeping the android in the attic, where a few years later her little daughter visits it every weekend. ---- ''Starring'': [[Hayley Atwell]] and [[Domhnall Gleeson]]. |LineColor = 11A7F1 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 5 |EpisodeNumber2 = 2 |Title = [[White Bear (Black Mirror)|White Bear]] |DirectedBy = Carl Tibbetts |WrittenBy = Charlie Brooker |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2013|2|18|df=y}} |Viewers = 1.69 |ShortSummary = A woman wakes up in a house with amnesia.

Matt used to help single men seduce women. His clients had optical implants, that allowed him to see through their eyes and give them advice in real-time using the "Eye-Link" technology.

After Joe tells Matt that the girl also died in the blizzard, trying to get help for her grandfather, it is revealed that everything is taking place inside Joe's cookie, where Matt was trying to extract Joe's confession, in exchange for his own release from prison. Due to his Eye-Link-related voyeurism, Matt is registered as a sex offender, resulting in him being universally blocked following his release.

This system cultivates insincere relationships, as a person's rating significantly affects their socioeconomic status. Lacie is a young woman currently rated at 4.2 and keen to achieve self-improvement, hoping to reach a 4.5 rating to qualify for a discount to a luxury apartment. Lacie tries to gain favour from highly-rated people, as they have larger impacts on scores, and sees a great chance to achieve her goal, when school friend Naomi asks her to be maid-of-honour at her upcoming wedding, with many highly-rated guests. After a series of mishaps on her way to the wedding that send her ratings plummeting, Naomi calls Lacie and tells her not to come. Enraged, Lacie manages to get to the celebratory dinner; she grabs the microphone and starts giving the speech she had written. The guests rate her negatively, causing her rating to drop to zero. She becomes dangerously upset and security removes her from the area. She is placed in a cell and has the technology supporting the rating system removed from her eyes.

He avoids calling his mother for help, as he has been unable to connect with her following his father's death due to [[Early-onset Alzheimer's disease|early-onset Alzheimer's]]. While staying at the house of a girl he had slept with the previous night, Cooper offers to participate in a playtest of an augmented reality video game. A gadget with the ability to layer lifelike images and sounds into his perception is implanted at the back of his neck, but a phone call from his mother causes an [[Interference (communication)|interference]] during the initialisation process. Subsequently, the gadget probes his brain for information on things that scare him, and then he is left alone in a spooky mansion. There, he endures some jumpscares at first, but when he later experiences severe mental and physical pain the test is terminated. Cooper returns home to his mother, who does not recognise him, and he realises that she has been afflicted with Alzheimer's, as was his father. At this point, it is revealed that all events subsequent to the signal interference were taking place in Cooper's head.

Kenny and Hector get into an assigned car and drive to a bank, which they must rob using a gun hidden inside the cake. Kenny robs the bank and they drive to the drop-off point in a nearby wood. Kenny alone carries the money, as Hector leaves to destroy the car. In the wood, Kenny meets another man, who is being blackmailed for watching child pornography. The man explains to Kenny that they are to fight to the death and attacks him. Kenny manages to kill the man, but the hackers leak all the blackmail material of their victims anyway.

When soldier Stripe encounters several aggressive roaches, one of them uses a mysterious device that disrupts his MASS interface. The next day, Stripe starts seeing roaches as humans, and tries to save a frightened woman from his fellow female soldier, Hunter. The woman tells him that MASS disguises the fact that roaches are regular humans, hated by everyday civilians due to propaganda and prejudice. Hunter knocks Stripe unconscious and brings him back to the military base, where he is incarcerated. An officer named Arquette reveals to him that the true purpose of the MASS implants is to dehumanise the enemy, allowing soldiers to kill them more efficiently, as part of an eugenics program. Arquette threatens to imprison Stripe, endlessly looping raw footage of him killing ordinary humans during his service, unless he consents to have his MASS system reset. Sometime later, Stripe returns home and sees a beautiful woman waiting for him. However, this is revealed to be a figment created by the MASS implant, as in reality he is standing alone outside a dilapidated shack. ---- ''Starring'': [[Malachi Kirby]], [[Madeline Brewer]], [[Ariane Labed]], [[Sarah Snook]], and [[Michael Kelly (American actor)|Michael Kelly]]. |LineColor = 0B0D45 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 13 |EpisodeNumber2 = 6 |Title = [[Hated in the Nation]] |DirectedBy = [[James Hawes]] |WrittenBy = Charlie Brooker |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2016|10|21|df=y}} |ShortSummary = To counteract a drop in United Kingdom's bee population, Granular has developed robotic bees, known as "ADIs". Detectives Karin Parke and Blue Coulson, together with the help of [[National Crime Agency|NCA]] agent Shaun Li, discover that hacked ADIs have caused the deaths of two people by getting inside their heads, causing unbearable pain. Coulson finds that the two victims had been targeted with the "#DeathTo" hashtag on social media, as part of the "Game of Consequences", where the person that leads the hashtag tables is killed every day. After a third person is killed, the hashtag starts rapidly growing in use. The analysis of the compromised ADIs proves the hacker to be former Granular employee Garrett Scholes. Police raid his location, yielding a disk drive that contains a list of every person who has used the hashtag. Parke concludes that these people are Scholes' real targets.

To return the Princess, the kidnapper demands that the country's Prime Minister, Michael Callow, has sexual intercourse with a pig on live television, otherwise he will kill her. Callow refuses to be blackmailed, but public opinion is gradually turning against him. Security forces are trying to locate the kidnapper, but every effort fails. Under pressure, Callow finally agrees to fulfill the demand. The British people gather in public places and watch the shocking broadcast, with no one realising that the kidnapper has already released the Princess, thirty minutes before Callow's sex act began. The kidnapper commits suicide by hanging and he is later revealed to be an artist, who planned the debacle in order to make a statement on people's obsession with the media. One year later, Callow's approval ratings have fully recovered, but his relationship with his wife has suffered a heavy blow. ---- ''Starring'': [[Rory Kinnear]] and [[Lindsay Duncan]]. |LineColor = 101113 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 2 |EpisodeNumber2 = 2 |Title = [[Fifteen Million Merits]] |DirectedBy = [[Euros Lyn]] |WrittenBy = Charlie Brooker & [[Konnie Huq|Kanak Huq]]<!--Credited on screen as "Kanak Huq" – Do not change.--> |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2011|12|11|df=y}} |Viewers = 1.52 |ShortSummary = Bing feels trapped living in an enclosed, automated space, as a member of a society that rides power-generating stationary bikes in exchange for "merits", a form of currency they can use to buy things they need.

At a dinner party, Liam is suspicious of his wife Ffion's behaviour towards a man named Jonas. Returning home, Ffion admits that she used to be in a relationship with him. The next morning, Liam drunkenly heads to Jonas' house and forces him to delete every memory of sexual intercourse he had with Ffion. In the memories appearing on the monitor, Liam notices one from the time when he and Ffion were already in a relationship. Liam, afraid that he might not be the biological father of his child, returns home and demands that Ffion show him the re-do of that specific sexual encounter, in order to prove that they had used a condom. The re-do verifies that the two of them had unprotected sex. Sometime later, having been left alone in his house, Liam goes to the bathroom and uses a razor blade to cut out the grain from behind his ear. ---- ''Starring'': [[Toby Kebbell]] and [[Jodie Whittaker]]. |LineColor = 101113 }} }} ===Series 2 (2013)=== {{Episode table |background=#11A7F1 |overall=5 |series=5 |title=20 |director=15 |writer=30 |airdate=15 |viewers=10 |country=UK |viewersR=<ref name="viewers" /> |episodes= {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 4 |EpisodeNumber2 = 1 |Title = [[Be Right Back]] |DirectedBy = [[Owen Harris (director)|Owen Harris]] |WrittenBy = [[Charlie Brooker]] |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2013|2|11|df=y}} |Viewers = 2.01 |ShortSummary = Ash lives with his girlfriend Martha, spending a lot of time on social media, until one day he dies in a traffic accident.

The artificial Ash tells her of the service's experimental stage, in which she agrees to have the replica transferred into a synthetic body, almost identical to Ash.

Finally, Martha takes the artificial Ash to a cliff and orders it to jump off. As it begins to follow the order, Martha expresses her frustration that Ash would not have simply obeyed. As a response, the android starts begging for its life.

Matt used to help single men seduce women. His clients had optical implants, that allowed him to see through their eyes and give them advice in real-time using the "Eye-Link" technology. During one such event his client was poisoned by the woman he was trying to seduce who had been hearing voices and was mistaken by the "voices" she noticed in the clients head. His main profession, however, was subjugating artificial copies of clients' consciousness, stored into bean-sized chips called "cookies", into docile personal assistants in charge of running smart houses. Joe reveals that after a domestic squabble, his pregnant girlfriend Beth "blocked" him, using a technology that turned them into incomprehensible pixelated blurs to each other. The block lasted for years, preventing him from talking to Beth or the child, until Beth died in an accident. Joe found the child in Beth's father's cabin, but the man told him that the little girl was not his daughter. Angered, Joe bashed his head with an object and left. After Joe tells Matt that the girl also died in the blizzard, trying to get help for her grandfather, it is revealed that everything is taking place inside Joe's cookie, where Matt was trying to extract Joe's confession, in exchange for his own release from prison. Due to his Eye-Link-related voyeurism and his failure to report a murder, Matt is registered as a sex offender, resulting in him being universally blocked following his release. Joe's artificial consciousness remains trapped in the cabin, having its time perception changed to 1,000 years a minute. ---- ''Starring'': [[Jon Hamm]], [[Rafe Spall]], [[Oona Chaplin]], and [[Natalia Tena]]. |LineColor = C0BBB8 }} }} ===Series 3 (2016)=== {{Episode table |background=#0B0D45 |overall=5 |series=5 |title=20 |director=15 |writer=30 |airdate=25 |released=y |episodes= {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 8 |EpisodeNumber2 = 1 |Title = [[Nosedive]] |DirectedBy = [[Joe Wright]] |WrittenBy = {{StoryTeleplay|s=[[Charlie Brooker]]|t=[[Rashida Jones]] & [[Michael Schur|Mike Schur]]}} |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2016|10|21|df=y}} |ShortSummary = Using eye implants and mobile devices, people rate their online and in-person interactions on a five-star scale.

While staying at the house of a girl he had slept with the previous night, Cooper offers to participate in a playtest of an augmented reality video game. A gadget with the ability to layer lifelike images and sounds into his perception is implanted at the back of his neck, but a phone call from his mother causes an [[Interference (communication)|interference]] during the initialisation process.

Cooper returns home to his mother, who does not recognise him, and he realises that she has been afflicted with Alzheimer's, as was his father.

When soldier Stripe encounters several aggressive roaches, one of them uses a mysterious device that disrupts his MASS interface. The next day, Stripe starts seeing roaches as humans, and tries to save a frightened woman from his fellow female soldier, Hunter. The woman tells him that MASS disguises the fact that roaches are regular humans, hated by everyday civilians due to propaganda and prejudice. Hunter knocks Stripe unconscious and brings him back to the military base, where he is incarcerated. An officer named Arquette reveals to him that the true purpose of the MASS implants is to dehumanise the enemy, allowing soldiers to kill them more efficiently, as part of an eugenics program.

Detectives Karin Parke and Blue Coulson, together with the help of [[National Crime Agency|NCA]] agent Shaun Li, discover that hacked ADIs have caused the deaths of two people by getting inside their heads, causing unbearable pain. Coulson finds that the two victims had been targeted with the "#DeathTo" hashtag on social media, as part of the "Game of Consequences", where the person that leads the hashtag tables is killed every day. After a third person is killed, the hashtag starts rapidly growing in use. The analysis of the compromised ADIs proves the hacker to be former Granular employee Garrett Scholes. Police raid his location, yielding a disk drive that contains a list of every person who has used the hashtag. Parke concludes that these people are Scholes' real targets.
