That was a great premise for an episode, and Meth Damon was a great villain.

If the rest of the season is of this quality it's going to be the best one imo.

One of my all time favourite Black Mirror episodes! Almost every episode this season was gold.

The McPoyle brother had an outstanding performance in this episode, such a wide acting range.

I saw every new episode except the last, so far none reach that quality but they arent bad by far.

I think the last episode will be stellar tho

I thought it started strong but ended with a bit too many contrivances towards the end

Yeah the ending could have been a little different >_>. I don't know, still a fun story, some good humor, some creepy ass scenes.

Still not straight up Black Mirror but w/e.

Spoilers obv, as TT has stated

But the ending was a bit too happy for your typical Black Mirror episode, I liked it but just didnt fit your typical bittersweet-at-best ending to a Black Mirror experience. A little too sweet for my taste but it worked well with the rest of the episode so it gets a pass. Very well written otherwise.

The first episode was interesting/good but had some really out of place dialogue and didn't feel like I was watching BM.

Second ep felt like BM but was a snoozefest.

I'll be watching the rest later!

Agreed about the dialogue on he first episode. The comment about the pussy really threw me off

It really sounded like him. I bet it was.

This. The surviving cyber-people looked happy at the end because previously they thought they would either die or face eternal torment, and they're just glad to live a life where they can explore an infinite virtual universe relatively free. They still can't ever leave the game, and their old lives are forfeit. Hopefully (and probably) they will find some way of contacting their real world counterparts so that their lives can be preserved digitally (and ended when it's their time).

It was way more comedic than every other episode so far.

Kind of liked the tone of it, because it is a bit of a goofy premise.

I liked it. The message was a little too heavy handed though, got it within the first 10 or so minutes lol.

I don't remember him saying bitch, but I could be wrong

What I didnt get was how the dude basically coded them to know about the outside world or how e didnt have control over the universe.

Also, I think it was bitter sweet ending. The guy was evil in the game, but treated like crap on the outside. I felt kind of bad for him. Specially him dying like that. The cyber people are likely just happy they now have control over their own lives.

I adored the first episode.

Like, I didn't expect any of that after the intro. And I love the actors all in this tbh. Better than the first episode of season 3. (and 1 but the pig one is eh)
I also love the callback to a certain thing with White Christmas here forgive me i am not sober this year already i cant spoiler tag i guess

I also watched Hang The DJ (Saving the rest with someone else) - I..... i loved that one as well. Idk why I didn't think of the ending so soon. But dammit it was in my face the whole time. I loved how everything felt off.

Don't feel the least bit sorry for the guy. Nothing that anyone did to him was worth being imprisoned like that. The whole time I was watching I was like "This is exactly what a CEman would do"
