The outing leads to the celebrity's death by suicide. In "Mazey Day," Charlie Brooker's feeling on the subject is clear in the first few minutes of the aughts-set episode: a pap scores images of a closeted actor with his male lover, and despite the star's pleas, the photographer (Zazie Beetz) sells the images. ![]() The fraught relationship between photographers and celebs has been well documented - and often dangerous (see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent "near catastrophic" paparazzi encounter in NYC).

Whether you're picking out a viewing order or deciding to only watch one or two of the film-like installments, ahead the POPSUGAR staff had ranked all five episodes of season six from worst to best. With five anthology episodes, you might wonder which "Black Mirror" episode you ought to start with or which episode is the very best of season six (and which one is the worst).
