This is basically where all sci-fi fans have to start, right? The original Twilight Zone is the foundation for so many of the series we know and love today, and essentially invented the sort of twisted, dread-filled plots that drive Black Mirror.

Jordan Peele's reboot of The Twilight Zone is equally as Black Mirror-esque, placing its characters in situations of mortal peril and watching their anxieties unfold in the face of bizarre, futuristic circumstances.

Stranger Things certainly doesn't always contain that feeling of inescapable, heavy dread that accompanies most Black Mirror episodes, but it does play with reality and sci-fi in similar ways. Plus, its fourth season is just a month away, so now's the perfect time to catch up (or rewatch for the fifth time, whatever the case may be).

Westworld's plot feels like it could've been lifted directly from a Black Mirror script. It's set in a theme park in a not-so-distant future where the ultra-rich can come live out their wildest (and most gruesome) fantasies. That often includes killing and raping "hosts," the incredibly lifelike robots who populate the park, raising questions about what really makes something human — a theme Black Mirror fans will know well.

Room 104 is reminiscent of Black Mirror not just because of its sometimes disturbing tales, but also because both series are anthologies — each episode offers a new story.

Room 104 follows different guests' stays in the same motel room, and while it isn't quite as bleak as Black Mirror, its premise certainly lends itself to some creepy plots.

Stream Room 104 on HBO Now or HBO Go.

The Man In The High Castle is set in a dystopian alternate reality in which the Axis powers were victorious in World War II. The United States looks completely different, and has been infiltrated by the Japanese as well as Nazis. This kind of troubling "what if?" scenario is right up Black Mirror's alley, so fans should definitely give it a shot.

The Handmaid's Tale has become a bit of a polarizing show since its premiere, but hey, Black Mirror can be controversial too. As a similarly dystopian series — based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel — it follows a group of "handmaids," the last fertile women in America, as they rise up against a government who has stripped them of their rights and enslaved them.

Based on a series of short stories by Philip K. Dick, Electric Dreams is another sci-fi anthology that's as mind-bending as it is star-studded: Janelle Monae, Steve Buscemi, Greg Kinnear, Anna Paquin, Richard Madden, Bryan Cranston, and more appear throughout its one and only season.

Altered Carbon is centered in a futuristic society in which human consciousness can be transferred from body to body. The series is based on Richard K. Morgan's novel of the same name, and the vivid, cyberpunk vibe will no doubt appeal to Black Mirror fans.

This British Channel 4 series, which also made its way to AMC, is set in an alternate universe in which lifelike robots — or "Synths" — live alongside humans as household assistants. As you might guess, things get dicey pretty quickly when it comes to the actual humanity of these beings.

Dimension 404, like Black Mirror, is a sci-fi anthology. It can certainly be terrifying in its own way, but it veers more toward a comedic tone. Lea Michele, Megan Mullally, Joel McHale, and Patton Oswalt are among the stars that helm the series.

Anyone who's even vaguely interested in sci-fi or fantasy TV shows is well-acquainted with Doctor Who. The show regularly swaps out the actor playing its titular character, always keeping things fresh as the Time Lord zips to and fro in adventures around the universe. Jodie Whittaker is the latest Doctor to take the helm.

Doctor Who episodes are available on BBC America's site.

Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker also created this show and wrote all five episodes, so you know it's bound to be twisted. The five-episode series follows the cast and crew of a fictional season of Big Brother who are stuck in a house together as they film the reality show. The catch? The zombie apocalypse has happened outside, and they have no idea until they're evicted. Whew.

Stream Dead Set on Netflix.

Based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, 11.22.63 toys with the idea of what might happen if someone could go back in time and stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. James Franco plays the lucky(?) man who gets to make that attempt, and things go very off the rails.

More human-like robots abound! This show, like Black Mirror, is interested in how humanity can be found in things that in theory, should be unfeeling. Almost Human follows a police officer in the year 2048 who is paired with a robot partner, leading him to question his hatred for the machine.

Almost Human only ran for one season, but you can still watch on Amazon.
