1. The Leftovers

The Leftovers has long been renowned as one of the most underrated series ever. The show has a unique premise focusing on a small community in New York in the wake of a disaster. Written by Lost writer Damon Lindelof, the characters have to come together after a huge portion of the population vanishes without any explanation. Blending drama with supernatural happenings, some have called it one of the best television shows ever made. Bolstered by an amazing cast, including Justin Theroux and Carrie Coon, this is one you won’t want to miss. The Leftovers is available to watch on NOW (Picture: Van Redin/HBO)

2. The Man in the High Castle

Created by Frank Spotnitz, The Man in the High Castle is adapted from the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name. Starring Rufus Sewell, the show imagines an alternative history where the Axis powers won World War II. Delving into the dangers of fascism, it provides us with a terrifying look into how people can accept oppressive regimes. Its dark premise is certainly one that mirrors Black Mirror (pun intended). Coupled with a lavish production design, The Man in the High Castle could definitely be one to binge.

3. Westworld

Any television show or film that has the name Nolan in the credits is destined to be great. And that theory certainly rings true here as Christopher Nolan’s brother Jonathan creates a fantastic sci-fi premise. Starring the likes of Thandie Newton and Aaron Paul, Westworld depicts a technologically advanced Wild West-themed amusement park populated by robots. The park allows wealthy guests to indulge in their cowboy fantasies. But as the series goes on, things take a dark and twisted turn, much like the best Black Mirror episodes.

4. Severance

Directed by Ben Stiller, Severance still has TV fans in a chokehold after its electrifying second season. Costing an estimated $24million to make each episode, its set design is truly remarkable. Boasting strong performances from Adam Scott and John Turturro, the series imagines a world where it is possible for workers to ‘sever’ themselves, separating their work and private lives. Featuring such a unique premise, fans have been obsessed with the show’s dramatic and bizarre turns. From goats to marching bands and balloons, Severance can definitely satisfy your quirky sci-fi needs. Severance is available to watch on Apple TV+ (Picture: Apple TV+)

5. Love, Death + Robots

If you’re looking for bold and wacky short films, look no further than Love, Death + Robots. With Fight Club’s David Fincher attached as an executive producer, the series is a sprawling anthology of 18 animated shorts. Despite each short running for roughly 12 minutes, it manages to fit in brutal violence and death. Similar in style to anime films like Ghost in the Shell, Love, Death + Robots takes a darker look at technology. It’s even got cyberpunk sexbots and exotic dancers (if that’s your thing), so why not make this your next watch after Black Mirror?

6. Tales from the Loop

Tales from the Loop was developed and written by Nathaniel Halpern and is based on Simon Stålenhag’s art book. Featuring eight episodes, it first aired back in 2020 on Amazon Prime Video. Shedding light on the residents of a fictional town called Mercer in Ohio, the show has a strong supernatural element. It follows an underground physics facility known as the Loop, where researchers attempt to make ‘the impossible possible’. With Paul Schneider and Jonathan Pryce starring, this undiscovered gem should be your next watch.

7. Electric Dreams

For many, anything starring Bryan Cranston deserves to be watched. But looking beyond the Breaking Bad star’s acting prowess, Electric Dreams takes a powerful look at the morality surrounding technology and how it intersects with humans, much like Black Mirror. Based on Philip K. Dick’s novel, who featured earlier in this list with The Man in the High Castle, each episode is a powerful meditation on what our future could hold (Picture: Amazon/Everett/REX/Shutterstock)
