Netflix’s Black Mirror Season 7 is now available to stream. Before you decide to binge-watch the latest season, how about taking a look at what viewers and critics have to say? Let’s dive into the first reactions to the seventh season that have emerged.
Season 7 starts with a bang, thanks to its very first episode, titled “Common People.” Viewers have already declared it one of the most shocking and haunting episodes in the show’s history. Some have even gone so far as to call it “depressing” and “disturbing.” The chemistry between Chris O’Dowd and Rashida Jones is outstanding.
Another episode receiving strong acclaim from both critics and fans is the sequel to USS Callister—the final episode titled “USS Callister: Into Infinity.” It serves as a gripping next chapter, exploring the dark side of technology, digital freedom, and the fight for survival. It’s highly ambitious and benefits from a tight script and stunning visuals. Cristin Milioti once again emerges as the standout performer.
The rest of the episodes have also been well-received, but the first and last episodes especially make Black Mirror Season 7 worth watching.
In addition to Milioti, Jones, and O’Dowd, Season 7 features a stellar cast, including Will Poulter, Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Awkwafina, Issa Rae, Emma Corrin, Peter Capaldi, Josh Finan, Paul Giamatti, Billy Magnussen, and more.
Overall, the latest chapter in Netflix’s hit anthology series has received a strong positive reception, with many calling it the best season since Season 4.

#BlackMirror Season 7 is a satisfying season filled with those absurd sci-fi hijinks, but has beautiful and emotional stories. "Hotel Reverie" and "Eulogy" are absolutely amazing and "Into Infinity" rocks as a sequel!
