Black Mirror: Season 6 has had a bit of a rough start since its release on June 15. While it didn’t secure the number one spot upon release, it has proven itself as a successful anthology series on the streaming platform, demonstrating that people want more of this Twilight Zone-esque series. Fortunately, Black Mirror has remained dominant during its second week, and the numbers speak for themselves.
Black Mirror: Season 6 has finally earned the number-one spot on the Top 10 Netflix charts, having managed to sur last week’s top contender, Never Have I Ever (season four), by over 40 million hours. During its second week on the platform, Black Mirror accumulated a total of 60.4 million hours watched and received a total of 11.6 million views.
Season six of this popular Netflix anthology contains five new stories that fans are calling “much darker” compared to the previous seasons. One of which is titled ‘Joan is Awful,’ and serves as a meta-commentary on artificial intelligence, featuring a streaming platform that parodies Netflix itself. Meanwhile, another episode, titled ‘Loch Henry,’ focuses on the True Crime genre, which has risen in popularity recently.
Black Mirror is an ongoing anthology series that first aired in 2011. Since then, it has been well received by fans and critics alike, earning an average critics’ score of 83 percent and an audience score of 80 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. If you haven’t caught up on season six yet, you can see the episodes streaming on Netflix now.
