It's feature-length, therefore it counts, okay? Besides, the sixth and last episode of series 3 of Black Mirror is a truly glorious piece of work, thrilling and chilling and utterly intriguing. As with every episode, it's set in a nonspecific future time that always seems just around the corner. This time, Brooker dabbles in police procedurals, as a controversial newspaper columnist meets a truly grisly end. Her loss is not a major source of grief, but as DCI Karin Parke (Kelly MacDonald) investigates, she learns that this is only the tip of a much larger, nastier iceberg. As the mystery unfolds, Brooker twists the knife, with director James Hawes delivering some spine-jangling set pieces I could only watch through my fingers.
Series 3 of Black Mirror is available on Netflix.
