Please provide me with the best dozen or so episodes of Black Mirror, any season. I’ve only ever watched the first three episodes of season one (pig one, biking/porn one, cheating one at dinner party or something) and liked them but it felt a little too tryhard to me. I did like them though. I also saw the interactive film.

1. Eulogy

Completely subjectively, I'd say the best (I'm not counting them) were:
15 Million Merits - mostly because I really dig Daniel Kaluya as an actor. It took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Entire History of You - the cheating one.
White Christmas - An anthology within an anthology episode, it builds on some of the ideas from previous episodes. Plus, Jon Hamm is always a delight in everything.
Shut Up and Dance - This one is disturbing, mostly for the final twist at the end - this show doesn't do those often, but when it does, whew.
San Junipero - Dare I say, it has a happy ending? And it was right after Shut Up and Dance, so that was not what I expected at all.
USS Callister - As a lifelong Trekkie, this one was awesome.
Arkangel - Basically every parent's nightmare turns out to be themselves.
Joan is Awful - A fun dive into simulated realities.
Beyond the Sea - The acting from Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett is fantastic.
Common People - Chris O'Dowd, the sense of desperation in this one is palpable.
Eulogy - Already discussed, Paul Giamatti deserves an Emmy for this.
