Ended up watching all of them even the interactive movie one about the game based on a novel. Tbh I liked it a lot. It was like when goose bumps made you choose your own story.

So any comments or thoughts or highlights?

I love hearing impressions on Black Mirror. They can be so all over the place, lol.


The best of them I watched a few times tbh they've got more replay value than alot of stuff ive watched lately & at this point i cant believe it took me this long to check the show out lol

Ironically all because i was working on a song called black mirror & someone said to watch it. Coincidentally the song & show have alot of common ground & I hadn't even seen it before lmao.

But yeahi dig th3 vibe for sure.

Yeah I liked Bandersnatch a lot, too. Did you get the scene where Will Poulter gives an empassioned psychedelic-infused speech to the main character?

And whatd you think of White Christmas/USS Callister/Black Museum?


Yeah. That scene caught me off guard because it sounded exactly like the kind of stuff someone i know sould say rotfl

The twist(s) at the end of white christmas was pretty trippy though I watched it a few times honestly lol
& I liked uss callister but liked black museum more tbh

Although some people think its a happy ending when i dont think so

...How in the hell can you say it isn't.


It's pretty dark when you consider that a very religious woman who wanted to die just like her husband, the old natural way, was convinced by a lesbian to abandon the beliefs she held til old age just to live in a virtual heaven. Makes you wonder if the woman made the right choice there considering all everyone did in that world was fulfill their desires, drugs, sex etc. She lived her entire life in faith and abandoned it for a program where she could live forever in "paradise". It might not be the darkest episode buts definitely creepy and very thought provoking.

It's like a 6.5/10. I didn't hate it, but at one point I asked my friend if he even wanted to see all the endings and we agreed to turn it off. The part I really liked was dropping acid with Colin

The context and story of Playtest was fine. It was Kurt Russell Jr. who kinda ruined it with his "total bro" depiction.

Based on that logic, I'd argue that Up also had a dark ending, since a very similar thing happens to the protagonist. He essentially stopped living out his life once his wife died and just waited for death away from everyone, only to realize that there was more to life than what he had planned and decided to continue his adventures without her. I think people can grow and realize that not every decision they originally make is in their best interest.

I agree, they tried to explore questionable areas, which is a good thing, but they whiffed the ending. It kind of felt like they didn't know how to end it.

Honestly, the ending would have been better when he was driving home with his wife and just about as he is to awnser it it goes to black. THAT should have been the ending, instead, they added another scene which kind of ruined it for me.

Yea Striking Vipers could have good but the ending kinda ruined the whole episode for me.

As for people saying Shut Up and Dance?? I thought that was a pretty shitty episode cant see how people like it let alone have it in their top three.

My favorites are San Junipero and Hang the DJ.

We are very similar. I don't mind the occasional episode where a person get screwed over but Shut Up and Dance took it too far. I'd say the same with White Bear (though I did enjoy that episode more).

I tend to enjoy the lighter episodes much more.

Shut up and Dance


why do people love this one so much? its ok at best

Really solid acting. In the beginning you just feel bad for the boy, he seems to get extorted. As the "demands" become higher it starts to slowly sink in that what he is accused off is actually true. Then you start wondering if the ends justify the means, and if the ones reaponsible for the extortion are wrong or not.

It also doesn't rely on actual sci-fi. It's a really bleak look into what (could) happen right now.

Those feelings didn't change at any point in the episode.

I'm aware of what happened. It doesn't change my position. Torture isn't OK.

Because it didn't really resonate with me. It's not a bad episode. The part where things got "censored" because they could be perceived as upsetting (like her grand-dad having a heart attack) where far more disturbing. Wish they would have done more with that. The ending was kind of a miss for me, and the whole obsessive thing wasn't new.

I rather have seen the censor thing fleshed out more, making her oblivious to dangers around her.
