Warning: This story contains spoilers for every Black Mirror episode ever.
Black Mirror is known worldwide as spooky, scary, and bluntly cynical. Who among us doesn’t have a friend who keeps their distance from the show lest they spiral into existential dread? Fresh from the new season on Netflix, we decided to figure out just how despondent this show is and ranked each episode based on that.
The only exception is Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, which was not included in this list because viewer decisions affect the ending and therefore the net outcome of the story.
Now, since we like to do things scientifically here at Mashable, we’ve come up with a simple rubric to determine how pessimistic these episodes are.
