Have you ever wondered “What if somebody made Black Mirror, but animated?” Well, that’s oddly specific, so probably not. Still, Love, Death & Robots is a perfect example of this. It’s a dark sci-fi anthology series with each episode taking place in different universes. Just like Black Mirror, the animated focuses on the dark side of humanity in the future. Created by David Fincher, this animated series is both popular and critically acclaimed.
You can watch the two seasons of Love, Death & Robots on Netflix right now. The next season is coming in 2022.

Even though it’s not an anthology like Love, Death & Robots and Black Mirror, Maniac has a pretty interesting plot. Starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, this mini-series is about two strangers who agree to take a drug that they believe can solve all of their problems, with no side effects. As you can imagine, things do not go as they expected.
You can watch all of the ten episodes of Maniac on Netflix.

That Black Mirror experience is rather unorthodox because it takes place in the past and it’s interactive. Bandersnatch tells of a young man who aspires to be a game developer, but the story takes not-so-innocent turns as we progress through the movie.
