Shows that feel likeBlack Mirror (2011–)
If you loved Black Mirror, the closest series we have are Pluribus (2025), Agatha All Along (2024) and The Man in the High Castle (2015). All three share Black Mirror's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The White Lotus (2021).
If Black Mirror hit the spot, these will too

A wrong-headed utopia examined by the one person immune to it
The difference: A single serialised story with a joke at its centre

Common ground: dark comedy
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Black Mirror does

A recognisable world tilted one degree into nightmare
The difference: One sustained alt-history, not a fresh premise every hour

Both are built on the same subject: dystopia

The same preoccupation in both: dystopia

One thread runs through both: anthology
The difference: Sits closer to crime than Black Mirror does

A wild premise used to expose how fast a society turns nasty
The difference: One sprawling soap in one steamy town, not a fresh idea every hour

A society that legislated its way to atrocity within living memory
The difference: One long ordeal from inside — no reset, no irony

People obeying rules whose original purpose has been hidden from them
The difference: One mystery unspooled slowly across seasons

Both keep coming back to the same thing: satire
The difference: Leans harder into action & adventure than Black Mirror does

Comfortable people exposed by the systems they refuse to question
The difference: Comic satire on holiday; the cruelty is social, not technological

Cerebral and dreamlike in the same breath
