I didn't see anything come up in search function for this.
Just getting into it on Netflix. Pretty entertaining and interesting to see these episodes as unintended consequences of emerging technology. 5 episodes in and the last one was a mind F. Anyone else watch? Thoughts?

Search function is broken and yes there's a multi page thread...

Great series and really enjoyed it. Loved the stories and the fact that each episode can vary in length, so you'll never know when it ends.

Has anyone heard on info on any new episodes?

Absolutely love his series. A Twilight Zone for the modern age. The social commentary is spot on. Season 4 will drop later this year. I can't wait.

I figured something was weird if there wasnt already a thread. I'll look for that one !

Here ya go

thought it was terrible, but only watched a little.

first episode was pretty bad. second episode, we turned off after about 15 minutes. i've heard some of the other episodes are better, but i have other stuff i'd rather watch than trying to wade through bad episdoes to find good ones.

You don't like being uncomfortable when the line between sci-fi and reality begins to blur, do you?

Are the Netflix episoded the same as the ones out of the UK?

Yes

I tell people to start with S1E3. If you like it, then the rest are probably worth your time to watch. S1E1 is just a little bit too jarring for a lot of people.

S1E1 made my girlfriend stop trusting my TV picks for a while

Solid advice.

Interestingly enough I was told to skip ep1. Still haven't watched it.

It's a great episode, it's just pretty no holds barred on the shock level... They come out of the gate swinging, so it could easily turn people off of the rest of the series.

Fantastic show.

I like the episode with VR gaming, for me it was the most shocking

Excellent episode, but I HATE spiders

S1E1 is what hooked me. I had my wife watch White Bear with me...that was the only episode she ever watched. Different strokes.

Yep, there are 2 types of people in the world:

• Those who watch Black Mirror S1E1 and get hooked
• Those who watch Black Mirror S1E1 and sever their ties with whoever recommended BM to them

I personally, loved Ep. 1. I appreciated the audacity of it and certainly have never seen anything like it. (Also, the production and acting quality are top notch)

I actually didn't find Ep 1 that shocking.

The most annoying thing for me was the wife/husband aspect...where she was so mad and he didn't answer her phone call.

TBH, I think most people would watch to see if he actually did it and immediately switch it off. I wouldn't watch out of respect. Ep 3 freaked me out the most. 5 minute hate was close. the VR one was pretty bad/good.

I think it is fascinating insight into people about what was the most unsettling for them.

White bear for me was the mind F, but I havent seen any of s3. So far The Waldo one has been my least favorite episode although possibly the most realistic lol.

Coworker got me on it but was extremely insistent that I skip s1e1. Seems like a good call. Just watched s2e4, the one with John Hamm, probably the best episode I've seen thus far.

Bruh, 15m Merits ain't that bad! (Think it's my 2nd fav)

Personally hated San Junipero. The Entire History of you definitely messed me up tho. That was a good one.

Like reading peoples different list tho! The wide array of opinions solidifies how great a show it is!

San Junipero is one of the absolute best ones. Phenomenal episode.

And Shut Up And Dance is about as good as it gets as well. Pretty ****ed up though.

that had nothing to do with it. i found it completely unrealistic. the basic premise, yes. the PM ****ing a pig on live television? would never happen in a million years.

E2 was beyond boring, so we turned it off.

Yea, that was the plot but it wasn't the point. Everything about BM is a social commentary on technology and it's impact on society. The entire country bathed in the PM's humiliation. Whether it was a pig or something more within the realm of reality, that wasn't the point. I thought it was a brilliant first episode and a great tone setter for the rest of the series. I can understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, though.

15 million merits wasnt bad, but it had a totally different tone and texture to it..which was slightly offputting.

San Juniper was fun and I <3 it. Nice break..but also a different texture.

Shut Up and Dance was #2 on my list that made my skin crawl.

i understand the concept of the show. that first episode i thought was dumb. then ep 2 was ridiculously boring. Since we have a long list of other shows that we wanted to start or finish, we moved on. Only started BM b/c we were out at a HH with my wife's company and someone was raving about it.

eventually, if we finish off stuff and are looking for something else to watch, maybe we'll circle back and give it another shot. At least this thread ranks some episodes, so we can pick one of the "better" ones to give it another shot.

That's the good thing about Black Mirror, you can just watch any since they are self contained stories.

I would give the Christmas ep with John Hamm a try. They basically fit three mini episodes into about an hour and a half. If you like that one, good chance you'll like the majority of the rest.

Haven't seen Men Against Fire or The Waldo Moment yet.

They're two of the weakest, but still worth watching in my opinion

The Christmas Ep really is the best way to start.
