Actor Jimmi Simpson, widely recognized for his roles in Westworld and House of Cards, has shared his personal favorite episode of the hit anthology series Black Mirror.
In a recent interview, the actor praised the Season 4 premiere, "USS Callister: Into Infinity," for its perfect blend of classic science-fiction adventure and the dark, psychological twists the show is famous for.
"Jesse Plemons and Cristin Milioti give incredible performances," Simpson noted. "It's a story about digital consciousness, power, and loneliness. It manages to be both incredibly fun and deeply unsettling at the same time. It really sticks with you."
The episode follows Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons), a brilliant but socially awkward game developer who creates a digital replica of his crew aboard a starship, holding them captive in his own twisted game. Directed by Toby Haynes and written by Charlie Brooker and William Bridges, "USS Callister" was a massive critical success, winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie and a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.
For fans looking to understand the peak of what Black Mirror has to offer, Simpson's recommendation serves as a perfect endorsement of a modern classic. The episode continues to be a beloved topic of discussion among science fiction enthusiasts and television critics, proving the enduring power of its narrative.
