So, now that you have had a week to binge (or enjoy at your leisure) the latest five-episode season of Netflix’s anthology series Black Mirror, you’ve probably read reviews online, listened to a podcast episode or two about how well this season compared to the others, and have debated online about which episode from this latest batch was the best, and worst.

But have you decided which episode’s world is right for you? What if you could live an existence just like the ones brought to life in one of Black Mirror‘s twisted Twilight Zone-style surreality? There’s no time like the present to choose the one that suits you the best.

Season 6 viewers are more fortunate than viewers of previous seasons; Charlie Brooker who created and produces the show and writes most of the episodes, spent a lot less time imagining dystopian hellscapes brought on by our reliance on techology – something Brooker relied upon heavily in previous seasons.

Fans who have watched the entire series will recall the killer bees that canceled online trolls in “Hated in the Nation,” or the relentless robotic hunting dogs of “Metalhead,” the mind-blowing punitive theme park set-up in “White Bear” and the extremely uncomfortable thought of someone being able to access all your memories in “The Entire History of You,” to name but a few of the show’s more unsettling stories.

The worlds we visited in Season 6 only consisted of only one such scary tech-gone-wrong nightmare world, but that doesn’t mean you can watch the show with the lights off now. Each episode had a twist that hopefully for the Black Mirror producers, provided the shock and awe that viewers expect.

So which world presented in a Season 6 episode would suit you best? Let’s examine all five. Please note, there will be some spoilers of the episodes from season 6 ahead.

Episode One – “Joan Is Awful”

“Joan is Awful” is the one episode of the five where technology gets the better of its characters, and of us, apparently. Joan (Annie Murphy) and her boring boyfriend are scrolling through the show’s Netflix analogue, here called ‘Streamberry’, looking for something to watch to pass the time. They come across an intriguingly-titled offering called Joan is Awful, in which a character who looks like Salma Hayek wearing Joan’s hairdo, acts in an enhanced drama based on the original Joan’s actual day.

Poor Joan (the real one, or so we think) must deal with the fallout of everyone she knows finding out what a horrible person she is while also figuring out how this streaming service is able to present a show where Salma Hayek acts out something she did five minutes ago. (Hint: have you read the terms and conditions to your streaming platform agreements in their entirety? You should!)

Why should you choose to live here? This episode, while presenting a nightmarish world where your every faux pas, secret thought, and digestive system failure is fodder for content to entertain the masses, is still more annoying than heart-breaking (wait till you get to the next episode! And the one after that!) And calling all narcissists and budding actors (who might be one and the same), this world would be ideal for you. Suddenly your life is what everyone at the watercooler (or the work from home equivalent) will be talking about every day. And you will be played by someone even hotter than you are, even though you yourself are acting out the life of someone much less attractive on another screen somewhere.

Episode Two – “Loch Henry”

There’s almost no new technology presented in “Loch Henry,” and not much of anything technological at all, unless you count Davis (Samuel Blenkin) and Pia’s (Myha’la Herrold) nifty video editing setup, or Davis’s mum’s VCR. But that doesn’t mean that they (and we) are immune from it all, particularly the horrors of found footage.

“Loch Henry” is a story about family, and how the way you remember your family’s history may not reflect reality. As Davis and Pia use their filmmaking zeal to retell a story from Loch Henry’s past, a story that sharp-eyed viewers will see featured on a Streamberry menu in “Joan is Awful,” the two must grapple with the fact that you can never really know anyone, even your own mother and father.

Why should you choose to live here? If you, even in the year of our Lord 2023, are still immune to True Crime Fatigue Syndrome, “Loch Henry” is the place for you. Whether you are binging old episodes of the 1980s Jersey Shore (the one in England)-set detective drama Bergerac (yes, it’s a real show) in glorious 4×3 formatting, or you want to soak up the atmosphere of the site of some really grisly murders forthe true crime podcast you’re launching based on the award-winning Streamberry movie about Loch Henry, you have found your new home. See you at the pub.

Episode Three – “Beyond the Sea”

“Beyond the Sea” presents us with a pretty interesting technological breakthrough. In this world, even though it’s 1969, it’s an alternate-history 1969 where the US has not only developed androids so lifelike they are indistinguishable from humans at a glance, and these androids are thinking, feeling dopplegangers of the humans they resemble who are astronauts on a six-year mission on a capsule orbiting Earth. Through these robots, the two space travelers are able to avoid a serious case of space madness, as the spaceship is equipped with a port that allows them to see their homes and families daily, because they can live through their mechanical doubles.

The idyllic existence that Cliff (Aaron Paul) and David (Josh Hartnett), their families and their robots have on Earth and in space can’t last of course, not on this show. So when an unthinkable tragedy (at the hands of Kieran Culkin, no less) on Earth results in the destruction of David’s android counterpart, Cliff allows David a time-share in his mechanical body. That means that the mind of David is piloting around Cliff’s body, in the home Cliff shares with his wife (Kate Mara) and son. And this, you can sense right away, will not end well.

Why should you choose to live here? Only a few brave souls would choose to move into one of the saddest of Black Mirror‘s episodes, in this season or any other. But if you’re a science geek, why not take the chance? After all, you’d get to live in a world where by 1969, technology was so advanced that NASA not only has an occupied spacecraft orbiting the Earth (what must they be discovering up there?) but science has developed a way for you to transmit your consciousness to a robot replica of yourself. Imagine a life where you never age, never have to worry about illness, and even better, you can stay thin forever without exercising. Sign me up!

Episode Four – “Mazey Day”

“Mazey Day” moves us forward from 1969, but it still drops us in the past. It’s 2006 – the Cruises have just bestowed the moniker “Suri” on their hapless infant, Twitter was born, and Google purchased YouTube for close to 2 billion dollars. Oh, and Pluto got demoted to a dwarf planet, but that doesn’t really figure into the story. 2006 is the perfect time for a story about how we fed our national hunger for celebrity sightings, just as another pointless obsession, social media, starts to grow exponentially.

We meet Bo (Zazie Beetz), a celebrity-stalking photographer who struggles with her seedy profession while also needing to pay the rent. She’s on the verge of going legit, but finds out there’s a $30,000 bounty for any photographer who can get images of troubled actress Mazey Day (Clara Rugaard), Mazey went missing from a European film set, but rumor has it she’s back in the states, and looking to rehabilitate herself. Bo and Hector (Danny Ramirez), her friend/rival in the paparazzi game, get a lead on Mazey’s whereabouts, but the tables turn when the starlet they are hunting ends up chasing them.

Why should you choose to live here? This is a tough one. “Mazey Day” is easily the weakest of the five episodes this season, with unlikeable characters doing sleazy, unforgivable things. If anyone ever had any sympathy for the paparazzi, that died with Princess Diana in 1997. But on the plus side, 2006 as a destination takes you to an existence before a LOT of bad stuff happened here in the United States – except that Pluto thing; that’s messed up. And “Mazey Day” has one thing the other episodes don’t – [SPOILER ALERT] – werewolves. There are undoubtedly people who would be down to hang with the Wolfman, or Wolfwoman. Just keep a silver bullet handy.

Episode Five – “Demon ’79”

This season of Black Mirror ends with a literal bang in “Demon 79.” In it, Anjana Vasan stars as Nida, a mild-mannered Indian-British shoe clerk, who has to deal with casual racism from everyone in an increasingly intolerant political environment. One day, Nida comes across a cursed talisman, and when she touches it, somehow that unleashes the funky demon Gaap (Paapa Essiedu). Gaap informs Nida that she must kill three innocent people within three days or else the powers-that-be will unleash an apocalypse upon us.

Brooker and co-collaborator Bisha K. Ali began the project as an exercise in writing “Red Mirror,” a sort of side project that is like the original but not necessarily bound by its rules:  be about technology, be dystopian, and set in the near future.” This episode definitely qualifies – it’s set in Britain in 1979, and the most technologically advanced thing on hand is a black and white tube TV. Here, Gaap helps Nina as she tries to ethically fulfill the murderous task she has before her, by pointing out victims who really deserve to die, allowing Nida to overcome her inhibition towards killing indiscriminately. But as no one else can see or hear Gaap, the question remains – is she crazy, or is the world about to go kablooey?

Why should you choose to live here? Well, the soundtrack slaps, for starters. Gaap styles his look after Bobby Farrell, the lead singer of the disco/funk band Boney M, whom we see and hear when Nida watches the video for their hit “Rasputin.” Boney M has two songs in this episode, which also features music from The Specials, Madness, The Boomtown Rats, Lene Lovich and Ian Dury and The Blockheads. Oh, and an Art Garfunkel tune figures prominently in this episode. Speaking of music, if your motto goes along the lines of “It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine),” you are going to love it here. I did mention that Black Mirror goes out with a bang at the end of this one.
