    For the infinite nerd within me I find that Netflixes Black Mirror as this generations Twilight Zone has surpassed most attempts at the Episode based SciFi Drama. Without a true central plot tying the episodes together , there is a central theme and a believable version of the world in the not so distant future.

    In the year thst Torn releases the Elon Musk mask. Someone who fully believes AI will be our greatest threat and simulated conciousness is either a reality or a likely future, i just felt a great need to discuss Black Mirrors implications.

    The anthology series genre is dying, but shows like Black Mirror and Darknet give me hope.

    Channel Zero is also fantastic, though it's seasonal rather than episodic, and you probably need to have a pre-existing love for creepypasta (season one is Candle Cove, season two is NoEnd House, and season three will be original content). It's essentially what American Horror Story wishes it was (minus the bullshit political undertones).

    If you're a fan of oldschool anthology series (though primarily horror rather than sci-fi), there are countless good options that I've recently gotten back into. So much nostalgia.

    Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, Fear Itself, Freddy's Nightmares, Night Visions, Friday the 13th (show), and some others I'm completely blanking on at the moment.

    I'm pretty sure Netflix just scooped it up for the last two seasons, but I could be wrong.

    Edit: Sorry, just realized you meant it's only on Netflix, not that it's only made by Netflix. My bad.

    Nice, huge fan of the anthology based shows especially in The Sci Fi and Horror genres especially. Bith genres found their Golden Age in the time of periodicals like Strange Tales etc , my favorite of these authors geing HP Lovecraft. The transition of Creepshow from Comic to Show was fun fir me as a youth.

    the last episode of season 4 is the best so far imo.

    Vin Jay  - The Youngest Prophet 

    i wont take advice from humans with bad habits, who have given up on their passion and never surpassed average

    Doubt yourself, don't doubt me

    I believe you mean the best of the whole series(?) and while I don't share that thought, I do think it is one of their finest episodes.

    To add to this thread, to me their best episodes are: San Junipero, Hang the DJ, White Christmas and Black Museum. They don't really have bad episodes, more like episodes simply not in line with ones view of the portrayed subject.

    I find it interesting that for a series known for their "dark" take on technology that their best episodes are of a somewhat upbeat tone.

    Has anyone else noticed the recurrence of the song "Anyone who knows what love is" throughout the series?

    and after looking into it, Ive found a few "connections" between episodes in different season. Heres a link (SPOILERS) that shows different easter eggs and connections.

    But in my opinion, the best episodes are "fifteen million merits", "the entire history of you", "White Bear", "Nosedive", and "USS Callister"

    I mean, nothing genuinely compares to twilight zone. Black mirror is similar in its short story telling episodes, and the fact that most episodes also speak to a deeper underlying negative trend within society

    Black Mirror? Nah, not really. I'd say both of them are more sci-fi than horror.
