Black Mirror

maxmordon · Jul 31, 2018

My favorites so far are 15 Million Merits, White Bear, White Christmas, Shut Up and Dance, and Nosedive.

My beef with The Waldo Moment is that the jump from Act 2 to the end is so quick and contrived that almost feels like a parody of the show itself.

My least favorite besides that one are Playset, Men Against Fire, Be Right Back, and Hang The DJ.

I think I have a new favorite: San Junepiro

Men Against Fire makes me think of Hitler and WWII.

What bothered me with Men Against Fire was that I figured what was going on the first five minutes.

I have finished season three and I will begin season four on Sunday.

I love Black Mirror, but I find that the episodes differ in quality.
But it’s very creative and it always makes you think. Some episodes were boring, but still at the end I found myself thinking about the message it had.
I also like that you don’t really have to watch it in order. That their stand-alone stories.

But there are hints that they are connected.

I thought it was interesting, but I had to Google it, (and read the "explanations") to fully understand what was going on - I had an idea, but I wasn't 100% sure.

Do you want me to break it down?

Thanks, Hon, but after reading the "explanations" online, I was correct in my assumptions - Just wasn't completely sure.

Watched Men Against Fire last night, and found it very disturbing.

Also, watched Shut Up and Dance, and after 20 minutes in, I knew how it was gonna end. :e2violin:

White Bear is my favorite so far. I'm still watching the series.

Mine too. It's...haunting. Satisfying, yet ethically troubling.

I watched it last night and then The Waldo Moment - not bad, but holy mood whiplash.

I put it a little bit above "The National Anthem".

OK, so I finished Season 4 last night, and I gotta say Black Museum was an incredibly satisfying ending - What a brilliant, terrifying, yet exhilarating Sci-Fi ride. :Clap:

Does anyone know if there's a Season 5 on the horizon? :Shrug:

They have sights in London of the crew currently filming it. So far it seems there's a period episode set in the early 80's.

And then she went to Wakanda. Yes, there will be a season five.

My favorites of season 4 where Black Museum and USS Callister. I actually was prepared to dislike Black Museum since I hate they try to convey they are set in the same universe so I was pleasantly surprised. Crocodile had potential but they blew it in the last 20 minutes and I'm honestly baffled by how many people loved Hang The DJ.

Overall, I felt it was a lukewarm season, playing safe compaed to the previous one. Season 3 for me had some of the best and also some of the worst episodes of the show but you could feel they were at their fullest in each of them.

Hang the DJ was cute and romantic with a happy ending for a change. Crocodile was the worst episode ever! Boring and guilt made her stupid.

I think that in Crocodile they first had more the concept of what they wanted to do (Detective story where people can scan memories) which was intriguing but the execution was so poor it almost feels like they were winging it as it went along.

Her guilt still made her stupid.

Okaaaaaay…

First episode of Season 5 - Striking Vipers...

Lurve me some Anthony Mackie, but this one left me thinking "Huh?" - Maybe because I'm totally not into Gaming/VR, but just wasn't feeling it - (No pun intended) :Shrug:

Was well done with great graphics.

Surprised no one has mentioned "Hated in the Nation". I thought it was a good story, well delivered. Also thought White Christmas was a good idea.

I like most of the episodes, although I do agree that the quality varies massively between episodes.

Introversion · Jul 3, 2019

I've watched one episode of season 5. Not sure I'll watch more, since reviews are pretty consistently disappointed versus earlier seasons.

It's possible they've shark-jumped.

SciSarahTops · Jul 3, 2019

I really enjoyed season 5. Found them all quite gripping and I liked the emphasis on characters and emotions in them.
