i don't know how there isn't a thread on this here. i know i'm late to the party, but i just finished all of them a few days ago. what an amazing show. so, so good. really only one episode i think that didn't do much for me, but overall all of them were intriguing, thought-provoking and/or moving. what an amazing show. i know it's a small sample, with the first couple "seasons" only having a handful of episodes, but if like me you haven't bothered with this show yet, do. it's incredible sci-fi.
so, what was everyone's favorite episode?
Re: Black Mirror
2Haven't been able to see it since it moved to Netflix, but Fifteen Million Merits from season 1 was fantastic. If you like Brooker, also check out his breakthrough Nathan Barley (from way back in 2005!).
Re: Black Mirror
3that was great for sure. The Entire History Of You was really up there for me. going through the list, a lot of 1a/1b situations. hard to put one above another, so many good ones. white xmas, white bear, play test, men against fire, san junipero, hated in the nation... see, i'm just listing them all at this point.
Re: Black Mirror
4looks like december 29th is the premier of S4, which is only SIX GODDAMN EPISODES.
if you want, here's a review - i didn't read the individual episode comments, just the intro: http://www.slashfilm.com/black-mirror-season-4-review/
to knock it because it's "bleak" or "too punishing" tells me you really don't get the point of the show. that is its strength. also, i completely disagree with the comment that all the previous seasons episodes blend together. this reviewer is nuts.

Re: Black Mirror
5The previous season was only six episodes too. Be happy, the UK C4 seasons were only three episodes.TC wrote:which is only SIX GODDAMN EPISODES.
Just cut them up like regular chickens
Re: Black Mirror
6yeah. like the first two here were what, 3 and 4? i'll happily take what i can get but damn.
Re: Black Mirror
7well, i feel like S4 overall isn't as good as the previous seasons, but it's good and has lots of high points. the first episode is the best star trek movie in decades.

Re: Black Mirror
9Has there ever been a bigger disappointment than Charlie Brooker? Nepo luvvie who now claims his acerbic early work was "just a persona".
Re: Black Mirror
10fuck i loved this season. Loch Henry and Mazey Day were highlights. excellent season, really bummed it's only 5 episodes. and that we probably have to wait years for more. not a bad episode in the bunch this time.
