Fun fact, I did a version of this video six years ago when there were only 3 seasons of the Black Mirror and it's also my first video on the channel! It's safe to say the most powerful moments have changed since then! What are your most powerful moments?
The twist ending in "Shut Up and Dance" still chills me to my very core. Kenny is set up as a decent person, but when the reveal happens, it's so shocking!
@@klandgraf6956 In an early scene, he's especially nice to a little girl in the restaurant. I was certain this was supposed to tell us the audience that he's a morally good guy.
The funny thing is when he was nice to that little girl in the beginning I thought it was a bit excessive but then I thought nah maybe I'm just overreacting
Ill never be able to get over the fact that the entire test duration in playtest only lasted 0.04 seconds, not even half a second of time elapsed and he experienced all that no wonder his brain was fried. Also the fact that in the very near future a video game company could 100% accomplish this on some level where theres a VR game that plays off your biggest fears, its really not out of the realm of possibility.
In Beyond the Sea, I'd have opened the airlocks and yeet both of us out. Screw the mission and humanity. I'm not working with the guy that killed my family.
Okay.....you would go down in history as a lunatic who brutally murdered his own family and then royally f*&ked up a space mission. Your name would be sh*t.
I can understand why the ending of Nosedive didn’t make the list, but I personally found it very powerful. These two people, lives ruined, in jail cells and cast out from society show more joy and freedom from roasting each other than any of the fake people showed doing anything.
the entire history of u still is my favorite Black Mirror episode ever, seeing his detective work turn out to be true while utilizing that grain. and the melancholic sadness he experiences at the end was so gut wrenching!!
Be Right Back is so underrated. It was my favorite episode. I could feel the pain and loss in that scream. And the fact that she kept him in the attic was heartbreaking, especially knowing that her daughter had a connection with him.
Yeah, it's such a great episode. That scream has stuck with me long after watching it. I even listen to the score behind that scene from time to time because it is just so good
San Junipero was such a rollercoaster of emotions, I can't watch it without crying. Its constant revelations of sadness and joy was a punch to the brain.
Beyond the sea... was probably .. the coldest shit ever seen... 💯 hands down ... next level... blew my mind ... the way he kicks the chair out at the end..... absolute savage 😮😮
These were definitely very powerful moments, but I would add one of my favorites from episode "Crocodile", when Shazia sees the true memories of Mia and wants to leave very quickly... and after that Mia follows her to her car, but the car does not start...
Davis reading the "For your film" note is a sweet & sentimental moment, illustrating the power of maternal love. A mother -- even a murderous sex-maniac mother -- always cares for her son, never losing her desire to help him in every way possible.
I interpreted the kicking the chair moment very differently. I read it as more like "take a seat with me" as in llike "join me now" becaause Cliff is now in the same spot as him, his family butchered.
eh sort of, i havent reached where he talked about it. but i took it as, he knew killing his family was wrong. but the kicking of the chair was kind of like a “get back to work” because they cant live without each other, leaving them stuck together no matter how much hatred
Loved your video! My personal #1 best moment in Black Mirror is the Teddy Bear at the end of Metalhead. There is so much grit and fierce fighting in this episode, but the way the lady signs off that she's sorry she didn't complete the mission and then the realization that getting a Teddy for a child was what it was all about. So damn beautiful!
What surprises me is I was unaware of "Black Mirror" since its birth in 2011 until my daughter suggested a look recently (2023). I can only describe it as a future technology laden series in the vein of "The Twilight Zone" or "The Outer Limits" (among other great series in the history of alternate TV shows) and such a gem to find with a whole SIX SEASONS worth to watch at my leisure. Like they made this show for me to find over 10 years later! Or is it perhaps part of a "Black Mirror" plot involving me? Hmmmm ...
Beyond the sea had hands down the most disturbing ending I've ever watched. One of the absolute greatest black mirror episodes, if not the best. And it seems to be very underrated on Imdb. Someone needs to make Brooker not stop making episodes.
@@johnnolan5579 It’s almost like it’s on brand to hate it now. If I see one more “It was better when it was British.” As if Charlie Brooker still isn’t the main creator of all of the seasons.
I absolutely loved Loch Henry and Beyond the Sea. My 2 favorites other than the pedophile ending of Shut Up and Dance. That was fucking gut wrenching to watch and realize as it happened…mostly because they picked the perfect actor for the part. He was genuinely believable as a “nice boy”…. And that’s what makes him so fucking terrifying. He seems so kind and innocent.
The "take a seat" moment will always be tarnished by how stupid it was that just using the person's tag let them access the replica. Honestly, nobody would develop that level of technology and use that kind of extremely basic security to protect it. I knew from the start of the show that would get exploited, who would exploit it based on the spacewalk at the start, and had a good idea of what they'd do after exploiting it. I was hoping through the entire episode that I'd be wrong and this was all a misdirection, but my stomach sank when it turned out I was right. They should have either had zero security at all on this system or high security. Either it is operating in a trusted environment where no security is needed or high security is needed due to the tech being operated. That idiotic tag system was almost the same as no security and it just brought more into focus exactly where this episode was going. I think if they'd chosen high security, the writers would have found a much more creative ending to this episode rather than the predictable one they went for. Personally, I'd have enjoyed the bold choice of the two working together to make the wife happy and sharing the family. That is a disturbing yet probably realistic direction this sort of technology would lead to for certain types of people.
I’m so glad you mentioned Be Right Back. It’s one of the most emotional episodes for me. Especially lately I lost my brother whom I was very close with and I’m in possession of his phone and laptop. As a BM fan of course my thoughts went to Be Right Back and if I had the option to bring back some form of him like she does with Ash is unbelievably tempting. But of course it’s never truly the real person you lost.
I think a great moment was in Men of Fire where the staff show the soldier all that he had done with out the monster filter and him killing innocent people. His realization was heart breaking to watch.
I liked this season as a whole. I felt Mazey Day fell flat at the end. The beginning and story was good, but the "twist" was meh. The rest, I liked from start to finish.
i just finished beyond the sea. jesus christ… that is one of the craziest episodes ever. i predicted he would murder the family about halfway through the episode, but it didn’t make the way the show writers went about it any less amazing. i also expected david to leave cliff outside.
Metalhead doesn’t get enough love!!! That ending and right before when you thing the protagonist might have a chance only to be covered in trackers…so good.
I would argue the ending in Nosedive as top 5 powerful since the protagonist goes to great lengths to impress people that dont care about her only to lose everything- it's very similar to how the youth of society is constantly publishing their lives without any consequence of how it may affect them negatively.
I can think of a different ending to Beyond the Sea where he painted the house walls and made a scene that looked like he murdered the other guys family. Then kicked the chair and told him to have a seat as he now understands how much he lost
this season literally just came out and its the only episode he is in. i would recommend checking out the new season, imo it was a return to form and outshines season 5 by a mile
Awe man, you watched this before watching the episode... That episode, will never have it's intended effect of watching it for the first time. It's like knowing the ending of "6 sense", then watching it, you will never have that feeling you suppose to have watching the first time....
@@Bookerjj I would say movies and shows can still be enjoyed if you know the twist beforehand. It’s nice to be able to watch out for the foreshadowing. I would definitely still watch the episode if I were you @timuribraev8006
@@rasslinreads5666 Same!!! I was like what do they have on this kid?! They show the guy who cheated on his wife…bad. The CEO with the racist emails…bad. Then Kenny?! 🤯 You spent the entire episode kind of feeling sorry for the dude then…YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!?!
The story of entire history of you is the true definition of Oedipus complex. The desire to find the truth till everything spirals down to your demise.
honestly, the ending of beyond the sea was disappointing for me. It just doesn't seem realistic to me that david would do that; it's TOO extreme and feels like the writers just thought of the most dark ending they could make without it making sense. He was in love with Lana, why would he do that? Jealousy? I don't think he would - and I think it made his character too detestable, prior to this he wasn't written to be a psycopath like that imo. Personally if I were to rewrite the ending you would, following an intense argument between the two on the space station, see cliff's body waking up and moving around back on earth and at first you wouldn't be 100 percent sure who was inside it, but then you would realise it was cliff (seemingly) as he apologizes to lana for being so cold and the two make love. As this happens the scene is intercut with Cliff in space, locked out of the airlock, banging on the window and screaming in desperation - you realise the one inside Cliff's body isn't him but David impersonating him, fully taking over his life. And the real Cliff dies in space with nobody ever knowing. Great video though!
They could not have done this because in the story, the ship required two people to operate it, meaning that David would have died if he chose to stay in Cliff's body
@@marlowemichaelson1366David lost everything back on Earth. What does he have to live for anymore or come back to Earth for? He’d probably spend his last days in Cliff’s body reliving the happiness of his marriage, and then happily embrace death.
Yeah. I prefered the replacement ending, even if it had been more predictable. I was actually getting ready for it. Lol The way you described it would have been so chilling.
Question: was it stated categorically in The Entire History Of You that Liam's child wasn't actually his? To me, it was left ambiguous - and Charlie B himself has stated his intention was that he *was* the father...
The best episode is Black Museum. What happened to the well meaning doctor was a surprise as well as the fact that the woman's being was still trapped inside of the child's toy. Next is White Christmas, the guy's psycho killer date and when the husband finally got to see the child wasn't his were big surprises. Third is Crocodile, when the investigators discover the pet hamster. And I liked Mazey Day, did NOT expect that werewolf angle, it was fun! I wasn't moved by any of your choices except for Loch Henry. I found Shut Up and Dance boring, I didn't care what was on the video, wasn't really surprised at the ending. Also, I hate that the series felt the need to add the "goody goody" episode San Junipero. It was a nice story, but it felt like the creators were saying, "We have some happy episodes too!" Unnecessary.
Mine r shut up and dance white bear deep blue sea and 15 million merrits these episodes were so shocking to me regarding their twists but overall i liked all the episodes except the very first one
Episodes before this season didn’t have “futuristic” technology. Take for example Shut Up And Dance, The Waldo Moment, Smithereens, The National Anthem, Hated In The Nation (robot bees already exist), and debatably White Bear (the only ‘future’ technology is the memory but there are medicines). to wipe your memory irl). Essentially, Black Mirror isn’t inherently about future tech as current tech is also a part of it, all episodes contain some form of technology, even Mazey Day which was about the importance of photography, or Loch Henry about the tapes, and for Demon 79, that episode was actually a back door pilot to another show called red mirror. But I do agree Mazey Day is shit but still, you are objectively wrong.
White Bear was the first episode I watched that got me hooked. I was blown away by the twist at the end and then came Shut Up & Dance which shook me to the core. I am surprised that episode didn't get any awards recognition.
I only watched the 1st episode. Sorry to say her over all's at the end only signifies for her all the things she had to go through are over. But anyone who knew about hearing what someone else thought b4 the me 2 movement is subject to a nobody coming onto your mind for life. Sorry all you millions but a rapper once told y'all " it's ain't my fault" . Remember to can't go over , under or around ypu must go through and not any way someone else tells you like a therapist or psychiatrist you have to go through your own way. Good luck I almost lost my life but don't be scared of a nobody cause a nobody can't hurt you cause a nobody has no body.
I hated shut up and dance for its ending. The ending was so predictable, not the exact reason of course, that the wife and I just did not like it. My response was the same as the mother but for a different reason. I was disgusted that kids was the choice the writer went with to explain why Kenny was so driven by the bullies to comply. I expected something based on him being on the spectrum and our unfair treatment of those born with defects they have no control over. That online bullying of those unable to handle the situation and how far down a rabbit hole it could go. Imagine the ending where Kenny just killed a man due to online bullying over a video that a normal person would not care about. Nope. Instead it was just a pedo ending.
That's an interesting take. So you thought the writer should have made Kenny autistic or mentally challenged in order for him to take those drastic measures because he was masturbating and felt embarrassed? That's actually a thing these days, it's called "sextortion" aka revenge porn. As shocking and disgusting the twist was, it was actually one of the best episode for that alone in addition to the superb acting.
Fun fact, I did a version of this video six years ago when there were only 3 seasons of the Black Mirror and it's also my first video on the channel! It's safe to say the most powerful moments have changed since then! What are your most powerful moments?
I think ‘Be Right Back’ scream moment will be always there… Thanks for pointing out the ‘Jump’ soundtrack… too emotional.
❤
The twist ending in "Shut Up and Dance" still chills me to my very core. Kenny is set up as a decent person, but when the reveal happens, it's so shocking!
It's such a powerful one isn't it!
And then going back to watch the episode after the twist and catching the little details hinting at it
Makes you feel ill on rewatch when he was nice to kids
@@klandgraf6956 In an early scene, he's especially nice to a little girl in the restaurant. I was certain this was supposed to tell us the audience that he's a morally good guy.
The funny thing is when he was nice to that little girl in the beginning I thought it was a bit excessive but then I thought nah maybe I'm just overreacting
Davis’ face at the end of Loch Henry…I’ve never seen eyes so sad. NEVER!!! Give him awards for just sitting there with tears welling up.
Ill never be able to get over the fact that the entire test duration in playtest only lasted 0.04 seconds, not even half a second of time elapsed and he experienced all that no wonder his brain was fried.

That is true - that was a great episode and an incredible reveal. Black Mirror drifted into the horror realm well with that episode
In Beyond the Sea, I'd have opened the airlocks and yeet both of us out. Screw the mission and humanity. I'm not working with the guy that killed my family.

True, it does have a great ending!
I was just about to comment about how the ending of nosedive would take the #1 spot for me, I’m glad someone else agrees
The ending of Shut Up and Dance always gets me. Would love more episodes like it. Very grim but very much in our world as it is now.
I disagree, if they made many episodes like that, it would loose it's appeal
@enadegheeghaghe6369 Something is hard hitting but just make it a different theme. Duh
@@BluEx22329 a different theme? That's what they are doing in not having every episode be equally grim

I so loved San junipero... mckenzie Davis was 👌
Whenever I hear "Heaven is Place On Earth" I think of this episode. I felt incredibly sad after finishing it.
I feel sad for her husband and children
shut up and dance, beyond the sea, white Christmas, and 15 million merits are my favorite episodes for twists. such a good show man
Good to see we agree on a few of them! They are all great episodes with incredible moments
Beyond the sea... was probably .. the coldest shit ever seen... 💯 hands down ... next level... blew my mind ... the way he kicks the chair out at the end..... absolute savage 😮😮
Totally savage!
Indeed, something especially brutal about that otherwise friendly gesture.
the “shut up and dance” ending never fails to make me feel the same emotions i felt the first time watching it
Yeah that is a great moment!

I’m a little confused why no one questions whether the video of Kenny is real, wouldn’t it be easy especially for hackers to fake something like that?
What’s missing in 3 out of 5 of this season’s episodes is the use “futuristic” technology. I’m very disappointed.
Agreed
Didn't notice that until someone brought it up.
Episodes before this season didn’t have “futuristic” technology. Take for example Shut Up And Dance, The Waldo Moment, Smithereens, The National Anthem, Hated In The Nation (robot bees already exist), and debatably White Bear (the only ‘future’ technology is the memory but there are medicines). to wipe your memory irl). Essentially, Black Mirror isn’t inherently about future tech as current tech is also a part of it, all episodes contain some form of technology, even Mazey Day which was about the importance of photography, or Loch Henry about the tapes, and for Demon 79, that episode was actually a back door pilot to another show called red mirror. But I do agree Mazey Day is shit but still, you are objectively wrong.
Unpopular opinion. Be right back was just okay. Not bad but definitely not one of the best.
Shocked! Definitely one of my favourites 😃
Forgetting the TOP TEIR ending of Mazey Day lol 😂😂
Black Mirror hasn't been like the first few season
Why didn’t Cliff go to the relevant authorities after finding his family slaughtered?
Black Mirror - White Christmas was Great
Life as a game?
This list is great but White Bear definitely needs to be on here, it’s more powerful than Loch Henry imo.
That's fair! Maybe it's the recency of Loch Henry - was in my head a bit more!
White Bear was the first episode I watched that got me hooked. I was blown away by the twist at the end and then came Shut Up & Dance which shook me to the core. I am surprised that episode didn't get any awards recognition.
Monkeys paw.
Aaron Paul is crying? Really?
I only watched the 1st episode. Sorry to say her over all's at the end only signifies for her all the things she had to go through are over. But anyone who knew about hearing what someone else thought b4 the me 2 movement is subject to a nobody coming onto your mind for life. Sorry all you millions but a rapper once told y'all " it's ain't my fault" . Remember to can't go over , under or around ypu must go through and not any way someone else tells you like a therapist or psychiatrist you have to go through your own way. Good luck I almost lost my life but don't be scared of a nobody cause a nobody can't hurt you cause a nobody has no body.
I'll never forgive you for ranking Loch Henry 😿
Noooo!
I hated shut up and dance for its ending. The ending was so predictable, not the exact reason of course, that the wife and I just did not like it. My response was the same as the mother but for a different reason. I was disgusted that kids was the choice the writer went with to explain why Kenny was so driven by the bullies to comply. I expected something based on him being on the spectrum and our unfair treatment of those born with defects they have no control over. That online bullying of those unable to handle the situation and how far down a rabbit hole it could go. Imagine the ending where Kenny just killed a man due to online bullying over a video that a normal person would not care about. Nope. Instead it was just a pedo ending.
Then people would just say " that's it?" And honestly would turn people off...
you say you dislike it because it’s predictable, but then go on to explain how it didnt end the way you way you thought. absolutely absurd thinking
That's an interesting take. So you thought the writer should have made Kenny autistic or mentally challenged in order for him to take those drastic measures because he was masturbating and felt embarrassed? That's actually a thing these days, it's called "sextortion" aka revenge porn. As shocking and disgusting the twist was, it was actually one of the best episode for that alone in addition to the superb acting.
