Netflix fans ask 'what was that' as they slam 'worst' Black Mirror season six episode

Netflix fans were left asking 'what was that' after watching one particular episode of Black Mirror's latest season. Warning: this article contains spoilers.

Fans were excited to hear the popular dystopian show was returning earlier this year following a four-year break. Black Mirror's comeback was confirmed by the streaming service in April, with a trailer teasing a star-studded line-up, including Salma Hayek, Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett.
