Aaron Paul has been praised for his performance in the latest series of Black Mirror.
The actor, best known for playing Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, stars opposite Josh Hartnett in Beyond The Sea. The third instalment of Black Mirror season six sees the pair play Cliff and David respectively, in an alternative 1969 - the year of the first ever moon landings.
Cliff and David are completing a six-year mission in space together, and advances in technology mean they have Earth replicas of themselves back home, so they can continue to live with their families. But, of course, it doesn't end well for them.
