Arkangel Ratings & Reviews
Punisher
April 21, 2025
This episode clearly shows where a total monitoring of his favourite can lead.
Ms En Scene
Jazmine Joyner
This episode is a great follow up to the splashy opener, with amazing visuals and great acting.
TV Line
TV Line Staff
Director Jodie Foster crafts a tense and eerie tale that raises fascinating questions about the limits of good parenting, and Witt is flat-out terrific in a demanding, not-always-sympathetic role.
Esquire Magazine
Corey Atad
It's a dark, sad tale that goes in surprising direction, held together by wonderfully empathetic direction from none other than Jodie Foster.
Forbes
Paul Tassi
I liked this one quite a bit because it wasn't just inventing tech for some twisted plot's sake, it's something that I could actually see existing and being used with good intentions, only to have it fail miserably.
Film School Rejects
Max Covill
Arkangel really comes across as a neat indie movie, that isn't too far away from our current day. The star of this episode is Rosemarie Dewitt who gives the best performance of all the season four episodes.
Daily Mirror (UK)
Suchandrika Chakrabarti
The mother's no monster - but monstrous things happen - and so she joins the list of strong, flawed women who lead the stories of this season.
Metro (UK)
Adam Starkey
Foster's excellent direction lends the episode a weighty realism which hammers home how near future this could be.
Little White Lies
Roxanne Sancto
Compared to many of the shows adrenaline-charged episodes, 'Arkangel' is relatively calm and level-headed in its presentation, an approach that pairs well with Foster's directorial style...
Guardian
Zoe Williams
There was something unsatirically useful about Arkangel, something uncomically generative. Seriously, what if we're looking for all society's ills in the wrong place?
Independent (UK)
Christopher Hooton
Visually flat and miscast, 'ArkAngel' is fine, but is unlikely to be anyone's favourite episode of season 4.
Paste Magazine
Jacob Oller
Short, sweet and seething with the backstabbed martyrdom of a scorned helicopter mom, "Arkangel" is the perfect sci-fi encapsulation of the "mama bear" trope.
El Pais (Spain)
Eneko Ruiz Jimenez
The result is one of the best episodes of the fourth season, shot like an indie movie, which takes to the extreme the overprotection of children. [Full Review in Spanish]
Entertainment Weekly
Ariana Bacle
Worrying is a function of caring deeply about someone, no matter how self-sufficient that person may be. Through Charlie Brooker's character-driven script and Foster's thoughtful directing, this is all clear from the beginning of the episode.
Digital Spy
Steve O'Brien
Black Mirror has never really tackled parenthood before now, and it just proves how much untapped, uncharted territory there still is out there for the series to explore.
Vox
Caroline Framke
"Arkangel" leans on a conceit that's so close to our existing world that it's about as low-key as Black Mirror can get without being ... well, our existing world.
Den of Geek
Louisa Mellor
Foster brings a sensitive and emotional US indie-movie style to the story, which looks and feels entirely different to any other episode this excellent season.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Power
Arkangel is ultimately archetypal Black Mirror, almost to a fault.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
The moral of "Arkangel" becomes increasingly obvious, and fairly ponderous.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
The specifics make [the narrative] compelling throughout. Both characters are developed enough so that when the final confrontation arrives, it's more upsetting that just watching an irresistible force meet an unmovable object.
