I kinda agree but Black Mirror has been like this before. The first couple seasons are both 3 episodes iirc

What really annoys me is the Hulu just released the first three episodes of Handmaids Tale new season. I dont want to binge 3 episodes Hulu, put the entire thing up

First episode I did not like at all, and honestly there should be trigger warnings on shows about cheating, as it can really mess people up. I have a friend who just ended a marriage over this crap and I had to warn him not to watch the espisode.

Hope the other two are better. The first episode of season 5 is the first time I have disliked an episode even close to as much as season 1 episode 1. I did actually finish watching this one though.

I'm fine with 3 episodes if they are good, that is still 3 solid hours of good entertainment. Last season I think was 6 episodes and I only liked 3 of them really. This season I might like 2 of them (if the other two are good).

Bandersnatch did have me rolling on the floor a few times though hehe (I don't count that as last season).

Nope on all 3 from me, not even 1 good episode. That was the worst season yet, by a mile.

Oh well.

Watched the Hannah Montana one last night. Wasn't good. Didn't feel like black mirror. Definitely didn't end like black mirror.

When watching the new twilight zone I kept thinking, Black mirror was way better than this.

While watching this season I kept thinking, damn, even the new twilight zone was better than this.

Minor spoilers:

I'm anti-cheating so really didn't like the first episode, and there was no reason to have cheating be a part of it. Do the same story, just have nobody be married.

The second episode was stupid, drawn out, and not really even in the same realm as most other black mirror episodes, it's not even semi-futuristic, in fact it could be a history piece at this point.

The last episode was the most "black mirrory" of the bunch, and the only one of the 3 i'd really consider worth watching at all....but it was also not worth watching again...at least to me.

3 of the worst episodes with the first being the only one in contention with season 1 episode 1 for most disliked.

So your complaints are "too dark" and "not sci-fi"?

Sounds Charlie Brooker to me, Black Mirror on form.

Nope, never thought an episode of Black mirror was too dark, heck it's in the name.

I don't like shows about cheating or that make it out to be ok etc, but that is a personal thing, maybe some people would like the first episode. It certainly wasn't too dark, it was just ....unenjoyable to watch for me.

The second episode was just boring, predictable, and not sci-fi/futeristic based. It was, actually, almost retro black mirror, like if black mirror was made 20 years ago or something.

The third episode touched on common black mirror themes, but did so in a very tired, over done manner, I'm not even gonna start listing how many times that has been done to death, but funnily enough one of them is in another netflix original series that is coming out this month...Jessica Jones.....so yeah, it had the theme going, but used it in a way that was not new, and again, was extremely predictable.

Not one of the episodes made me think, made me emotional, made me interested. I could have skipped them all, and honestly I had to go onto IMBD and see the descriptions of the second 2 episodes to remember them enough to comment on....and I watched them 2 days ago lol.

pretty mediocre overall. super disappointing that we waited a year and a half for this season and have to wait a year and a half for more. each season has gotten progressively worse since 3.
