This index will rate each episode from 1 to 100, where 100 denotes an episode theme that has already happened in real life or is almost certain to happen in the future.

The sixth season of the hit television series created by Charlie Brooker is now available to stream on Netflix. Watch as an impressive cast of A-list stars, including Salma Hayek, Rob Delaney, Aaron Paul, and Josh Hartnett, endures an unsettling blend of tech-based horror.

The chosen Black Mirror superfan will watch all 27 episodes of the dystopian hit, including the 2018 interactive film “Bandersnatch,” before they collaborate with our odds analysts to determine which storylines are most likely to happen.

Bridging Fiction and Reality
Andy Parker, our resident spokesperson, said: “Black Mirror is a dystopian phenomenon, pushing its stories to the very limit of ‘what if…?’ and making people really think about the reality, and fragility, of the human condition.
every episode has sparked a discussion about what someone might do if they were in those situations
“I know I’m not alone when I say that every episode has sparked a discussion about what someone might do if they were in those situations, so we wanted to take that idea seriously. Just how likely is it, based on current political, social, and technological events, that these storylines could one day play out in real life?
“That’s what we’re hoping to find out, and I can’t wait for our Binger to make it happen. Every day, we deal with odds and predictions while reviewing games to help our users choose the best and safest places to play online, so why not use that approach in real-life scenarios? If you love Black Mirror, this is definitely not an opportunity to miss out on.”
So, what are you waiting for? Don’t be awful; apply!
