Sci-Fi. Drama Matt Trent (Jon Hamm) and Joe Potter (Rafe Spall) are stationed at a small, remote outpost in the middle of a snowy wilderness. On Christmas Day, Matt is preparing Christmas dinner, while "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" plays on the radio. He talks to Joe about what brought him to the outpost, a topic they never discussed in the five years they have been there. Joe is reluctant, so Matt opens up first to explain why he came.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ben Beaumont-Thomas The Guardian	"Sentimentality is offset with wicked wit, and Brooker’s (...) anxiety as he lumbers from one paradigm to another is creating funny, imaginative, and keenly felt television, even if he is just being paranoid."	POS
United Kingdom	Mark Monahan Telegraph	"Impeccably produced, slickly performed. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ellen E. Jones The Independent	"Well cast, expertly structured and genuinely unsettling."	POS
United States	Zack Handlen AV Club	"Jon Hamm makes a great coward. Better: He makes a convincing coward (...) An entertaining, but minor, outing."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"It’s a chilling parable, well imagined and artfully told"	POS
United States	Abraham Riesman Vulture	"Although there’s an enormous amount of thematic meat to chew on (...) 'White Christmas' is eminently watchable, narratively thrilling, and never preachy."	POS
