Black Mirror

[MilkSpiller22]

New season came out yesterday...

Only saw the first 2 episodes

I thought "Joan is Awful" was one of the best episodes of this show ever... very fun watch... the twist was a little predictable, but who cares!!!

LockHenry could have been a great movie... it was a good enough episode, but didnt really feel like a black mirror episode... really think they could have turned it into a movie and expanded on some stuff...

Glad I stumbled upon this thread, this looks like something I'd like watching.

Never heard of it before now.

Ive only watched to eps

I thought Joan is awful was solid, not even close to best ever though.

The other i watched was the Mazey one. Wooooooooof. Objectively bad tv. Not sure how it made it through the planning stages.

I saw this post earlier and I figured you were exaggerating. I watched it tonight, and you were not. One of the worst episodes of something I ever sat through.

Only saving grace is that it was 40 minutes long which is very short for a black mirror episode. Completely nonsense of a plot.

Was it worse than that Miley Cyrus one?

the Aaron Paul one is a real pick me up if you're having a bad day

Black Mirror episodes can be hit or miss but I still enjoy the show.

the Joan is Awful episode was good. I couldn't pin down who was playing Joan until they said it was the chick from Schitt's Creek.

also, good to see Michael Cera is still around

I kept looking at her too wondering who the fuck is that. The hair colour with the white stripe as what fucked me up.

Agree 100% on your take on both episodes. Loch Henry was confusing because it just didn’t fit as a BM episode.

I kept expecting the Paul character to start playing a video game during his down time.

Joan is Awful - Great episode. Not sure it is the “best” BM episode yet, but is certainly top tier.

Loch Henry - OK story, but why is it part of BM?

Beyond the Sea - Dark as fuck. But predictable as well. As I said earlier, I was totally expecting a tie in to the video game episode from the previous season. While I liked the episode as a whole, I didn’t like how it ended. It wasn’t done.

Mazey Day - Meh. I like the very end, but the episode as a whole was forgettable. Not a bottom tier episode, but probably the tier next to the bottom tier.

Demon 79 - not as woke as the previous season, but more woke than BM should be. That said, mid-tier episode for BM. Forgettable in the long run, but entertaining enough and it fits in the formula for BM.

This season, ranked…

just watched Common people- episode 1... it was a good black mirror story... but very depressing... although the message was clear, and everything was done well, it will not reach my top 10 episodes, just because i dont like depressing tv...

If you don’t like depressing (who does, really?), why do you watch Black Mirror?

My ranking for this newest season…

Callister (by a mile, it may be the best BM “episode” ever)
Common People (depressing af, but powerful)
Eulogy (depressing as well, but also sweet)
Hotel Reverie (based on story alone - the acting was rough and I didn’t like the cast)
Bete Noir (decent for BM, but I am not a fan of the genre)
Plaything (nothing to the story. Too simple)

i still enjoy it... i just like fun episodes more than depressing... just because it is a NEGATIVE message to real life society does not mean it is going to be depressing... and does not mean it had to be...

again, i still liked the episode... just for me, i wouldnt watch it again...


Joan is awful, from last season, was an elite episode for me, because it was fun...
