The BLACK MIRROR Timeline Explained

I review, breakdown and explain Black Mirror Netflix. I discuss Season 6 and give the full timeline of episodes from the first up until the most recent. I go all the way back to 1969 with Beyond The Sea and take it into the future finishing in the year 2100 with Metalhead. I react to all of the easter eggs that pave the way for the actual order of episodes based on time and give my theories and predictions on the time period that they were set in.

Question - do you think Metalhead is at the end of the timeline? Or do you think the dogs were eventually defeated somewhere in the middle of the timeline and civilisation rebuilt and started adopting new technology again? Let me know, i'm intrigued to hear thoughts on that matter! 👀

I am sorry to say that but author complitely missed the ENOURMOUS point that episode "Demon 79" makes. When Nida looks at Michael Smarts future, she sees that he causes mass surveilance, creation of the viruses and sophisticated technologies that lead to racial eugenics in "Men against Fire" and creation of robodogs of "Metalhead". (On the TV in "Loch Henry" you can see that Michael smart unveils robodogs to the police. Basically, he is the person that leads to creation of horrific Black mirror distopy.

5:38 in the episode "smithereens" it literally says "london 2018" at the beginning lol

The attention to detail in this series is phenomenal

Could you imagine an insane time traveling episode when they revealed the REAL time line

[Scrappy_ill_fold_ya_Doo]

Crocodile came before 15 million merits because it was mentioned the main protagonist was the architect that build the place 15 million merits took place in.

[nordriket]

San Junipero must have been around 2040 or later. The main characters are old, probably around 80-90 years old and they are reliving their youth. If they were 20 in the 1980s they will be 80 in the 2040s.

[sinshenlong]

always assumed 15 million merits to be the most advanced since it seems so sci fi and dystopian out the series but it does make sense

2:18, White Bear happened in 2013.
The phones used were trying to confuse Victoria Skillane into thinking that it's still her present day, but it's actually the future.

[Shivermetimbers]

I think it’s more likely that they are existing in different universes rather than on a timeline in one universe. Some universes seem to have better technology sooner if for example were thinking that “Beyond The Sea” was set in 1969. They wouldn’t have the technology to use a consciousness into a clone body from space and then 10 years later have “demon 79” without any of the same type of technology. I think they are alternate universes

For the White Bear episode at 2:18, we were shown the calendar for October month. Using the information that the 1st of October was Tuesday, we can use Zeller's Congruence to calculate the possible years. I calculated using python and got 29 such years from 1901 to 2097. The relevant years from those are 2002, 2013, 2019, So according to the Blackberry release, it must be the year *2013* which is the closest after 2007.

This is interesting. I never considered that some of the episodes with more futuristic tech were alternate versions of current times.

[asymrsqueezes]

I think there are multiple timelines at play here, where events from certain episodes effect what happens going forward. Basically if Demon 79 goes 1 way or the other reality splits in two. And possibly further if the ruin is used again. Maybe the rune was used causing the Metalhead apocalypse—as Gaap stated it presents differently. So anytime we are in an apocalyptic scenario it could mean a rune was involved.

i find it very interesting that in demon 79, the way the demon shows her the future, her eyes did the same thing as the characters eyes did whenever they were looking through their seed in the entire history of you (not sure if it shows up anywhere else, can’t remember rn). but i wonder if theres any link? kinda seems like its maybe a hint at the future technology having a somewhat demonic nature

[TC-hhdc]

Most depressing is that all episodes lead to Metalhead.

[Saffron-sugar]

San Junipero could not take place in 2019. Kelly is torn as she was married to a man for 49 years. It would appear that her memories of 1987, she was not married. Which means the earliest he could have died, would have been 2037. They were in their 80s at the end of the film, not their 50s.

[AH_]

In a way, this is why black mirror is brilliant. Like the timeline, the cause to effects are all over the place for us. It’s like even after we see every episode, we still have the universe of the show to speculate about.

[vizionara]

I think there are multiple timelines. In the “first” episode Demon79 the world ended so there had to be a reset there.

[damianmasq]

I thought 15 million credits comes after metalheads, cause of that last scene where he makes it to the top and can see what all that work was for, and it’s just endless forest out there, a contained, insane community of humans in a world that’s mostly lost and left to go wild. I assumed there had to be a reason they’re trapped inside, not outside, something out there stopping people from any exploitation of resources beyond the walls of their tower, and no contact with others, just… getting weirder and more whacked out over time

[temhirtleague-chess]

15 million merits might be the most futuristic where people are living underground after an apocalypses while try to cling to their past culture.
