@Neuropyramidal know you started this months ago, but I had to comment. I've seen Black Mirror with friends and loved it. It reminds me of a modern day Twillight Zone. You're right about the dark aspect of it, and also the social commenatary part. Really great show. I'll have to go back and look up episodes. I remember one where this couple was cheating on each other, another that had to do with t.v. and media. I'm being vague as it's been awhile.

 

LOL that actually sounds similar to Rick Grimes in "Days Gone Bye" and "Rip Van Winkle." I'll have to check that episode out!

 

Everyone needs to watch this show. I haven't finished the latest season yet, just finished San Junipero last night. Can't figure out which was my favourite episode.

 

I love Black Mirror - interesting ideas and great stories. I just finieshed the third season and I especially liked the first two episodes (the one with the woman, who messed up her wedding speech and loosing her social status - I really loved the acrtess- and the one with the american tourist in London, who volunteered for a video game company - that one was scary as hell, but well executed)

I like, that every story keeps me thinking for a long time, especially the ones, who are set more or less in our time like the very first one with the prime minister and the pig or the one with the woman and the wedding speech.

 

Just watched The Entire History Of You, which I gather is the the third episode of Season 1. Intriguing concept and will definitely watch more of it this week.
Can't go wrong with Charlie Brooker.

 

Just watched "White Bear', which is definitely my favourite so far. Terrifying as fook and thought provoking, the end just killed it. Outstanding show, judging from the three episodes I've seen.

 

Suppose they can't end Walking Dead like that anymore now, but I still stand by my Derren Brown theory.

 

I just watched the third season and came away very impressed. I skipped the first two given that the third season seemed universally well received and I could always double back as each episode is self contained.

I am curious though, is there any difference in style/tone between season 3 and the first two BBC only?

 

The virtual gaming episode aside, I find the third season quite disappointing tbh. Still got the final episode to watch.

 

I loved that episode - I ended up watching it again just so I could see it again from a new perspective after I knew what was going on. It's crazy all of the comments that were said throughout the episode that only made sense after knowing what happened, and i either didn't catch them during the first watch or i was confused for a second and just moved on.

 

I had never heard of this show until [MENTION=2175]page[/MENTION] pointed it out to me recently. I watched the first episode of season 1 last night and came away a bit traumatized. LMAO

I really am going to like this show.

 

After
reading all the comments here, I am excited to blast through them.

 

I'm still working my way through them out of order, and when the episodes are really dark i can usually only handle 1 mayyybe 2 at a time. There's just so much to think about/process with each episode.
