Hated in the Nation Ratings & Reviews

👍👍 9/10
CinemaBlend
Gina Carbone
Like many of the best Black Mirror episodes, it holds people accountable for their behavior -- adding the bright-eyed angry mob of social media to the list of villains.
Slashfilm
Jacob Hall
So much of "Hated in the Nation" is smart and weird and fascinating that it's a shame the whole thing isn't just a little bit tighter.
The Young Folks
Gary Shannon
I do admit that the episode introduces some real topical discussion but there is nothing studious or compelling about literalized murder resulting from internet hate.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Charles Mudede
This episode...has the best cinematography of the series.
The Verge
Lizzie Plaugic
While Black Mirror's dedication to the art of the twist is admirable in the abstract, it doesn't always work in practice. Hated in the Nation never figures out exactly what it's critiquing
Paste Magazine
Roxanne Sancto
Hated in the Nation works brilliantly as a stand-alone episode, particularly for those who enjoy a strange mix of sci-fi and crime drama.
El Pais (Spain)
Eneko Ruiz Jimenez
Although the premise and the reflection are interesting, the episode feels empty and it never lands. [Full Review in Spanish]
The Mary Sue
Charline Jao
With a much bigger season Black Mirror wanted to end on a strong note, and 90 minutes gives the episode plenty of space to do that.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
It felt a little too conventional as an episode of Black Mirror, even with the near-future tech and Twitter hate.
Collider
Adam Chitwood
James Hawes (Doctor Who, Penny Dreadful) directs what is in many ways the most thematically relevant episode of this new batch, with a direct connection to the ugly side of social media and its lack of consequences.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Hated in the Nation is blunt, but its target is diffuse... It's a depressing note to end Black Mirror on, but a fitting one -- a caution to its audience to never feel too high and mighty about your conduct online.
Nerdist
Matthew Hart
The story is 90 minutes of classic pulp mystery (feature-length ain't no thang on Netflix mang), but because this is one of the darkest sci-fi series to ever hit the small screen.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
Black Mirror is about seeing how far technology stretches human emotions. Hated in the Nation doesn't have to push nearly as far as you might expect to go from social media outrage cycle to literal swarms of insects killing people.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Robbie Collin
Director James Hawes is a TV mini-series stalwart -- and he uses the episode's larger canvas to give the moral complexities of Brooker's script the breathing space they deserve.
Digital Spy
Alex Mullane
There's no need to worry about this episode's extended run-time dragging -- Hated in the Nation is a feature length story that's captivating throughout.
Esquire Magazine
Corey Atad
Hated in the Nation is an epic examination of justice in the social media world.
Entertainment Weekly
Chancellor Agard
Hated in the Nation, the longest episode of the third season, is a noir... The 90-minute episode features all of the trappings we've come to expect from prestige-y police dramas while keeping it interesting.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
Hated In The Nation is far from perfect, and its flaws, disappointingly enough,... And yet I still rather liked the episode, to the point where I feel comfortable rating it higher than some of the more conceptually challenging entries.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Charles Bramesco
As invigoratingly unusual as Hated in the Nation is, its agile movement between cerebral sci-fi and emotionally rooted moralizing identifies it as a satisfyingly representative note for Black Mirror to go out on before returning to hiatus.
