Fifteen Million Merits Ratings & Reviews
Film School Rejects
Samantha Olthof
Black Mirror has never been one to shy away from an unsettling ending.
Slashfilm
Jacob Hall
"Fifteen Million Merits," the first great episode of Black Mirror, takes the world of YouTube and mobile gaming and pushes it to hellish extremes.
Esquire Magazine
Corey Atad
It's beautiful to look at, and offers a lot to chew on.
SFX Magazine
Ian Berriman
Like the best science fiction, "15 Million Merits" makes you think, tackling the important issues of the day in a way that a mass audience can comprehend.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Charles Bramesco
Brooker puts the carnivorous culture of reality TV on trial in this diabolical hour, set in a world where lower-caste citizens pedal stationary bikes to power their surroundings and earn meager currency.
Collider
Aubrey Page
"Fifteen Million Merits" has some of the most intricate world building Black Mirror has ever managed to pull off.
Uproxx
Alyssa Fikse
"Fifteen Million Merits" might showcase the bleakest history on Black Mirror.
Metro (UK)
Keith Watson
Boasting fine performances from Daniel Kaluuya as Bing and Jessica Brown-Findlay. (Downton Abbey’s Sybil) as Abi,... 15 Million Merits sounded a salutary warning about the dehumanising direction technology is taking us.
AV Club
David Sims
[It's] a dazzling piece of science fiction that builds its world out slowly but perfectly over the course of an hour-and packs an emotional wallop along with the "15 minutes into the future" warning you already expect.
What Culture
Robert Beames
The whole episode is full of astute social observations and brimming with sharp black comedy, but it stood out for me because of its unexpected beauty and tenderness.
Grantland
Emily Yoshida
The most brutal blow of Fifteen Million Merits doesn't come until the end, and it's brutal precisely because you did not expect it to strike where it does.
Den of Geek
Alec Bojalad
Fifteen Million Merits at times feels like every futuristic science fiction idea rolled into one hour-long package... And it works. Largely because the human story within it works.
El Pais (Spain)
Eneko Ruiz Jimenez
This episode of the first season shoots against several flanks, like "trash TV" or an alienated society taken to the extreme that can be extrapolated easily to the current reality. A future world but very present. [Full Review in Spanish]
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Sam Richards
[Black Mirror] expertly lassoed a whole range of targets, from craven politicians to sensationalist news outlets to the glib creators of shock art... [It] was a more conventional dystopian sci-fi fantasy, incorporating a caustic satire on TV talent shows.
