Black Mirror - show on Netflix

[SpursforSix]

Anyone watching this? It's sort of like a modern Twilight Zone but so far the stories have all centered around technology. I've only watched the first couple but they are pretty good. Nothing you have to binge watch but something entertaining to take up an hour.

[oh crap]

good series. didn't care for the first episode all that much but thought 'history of you', 'be right back' and the Jon Hamm Christmas episodes were great.

Yeah...I didn't care much for the first episode but heard the series was good so watched the second last night. Fifteen Million Merits...which was pretty good. Didn't really care for the ending but it more than kept my attention. From the reviews, it gets better as it goes on.

Dude, a 20.00 as a middle school kid? Since ya like to get off topic in others threads, answer that for me....ok?

You should just check out this show and see if you like it.

And you need to cool lying about a 20.00, ok? Stupid, you can't figure out after all I've showeed you that that was impossible? So why the lie?

Stupid, comment on how a middle school kid could run a time that would have won the silver medal in those Rio Olympics. Come on liar, how is that possible?

Why the lie?

You know why Michael Jordan didn't win a championship in 1994? Yep...he didn't play in 1994.

Answer the question ya little shit, why the lie, well?

[philldafunk]

Whitebear, and the Christmas Special episodes were really good. I thought the National Anthem was the best, but if you enjoyed Black Mirror check out Darknet.

[oh crap]

check out Darknet.

the showtime show?

[timtonymanu]

Finished black mirror last week. My favorite story was white Christmas and fifteen million merits

[Reck]

Whatever happened to season 3? Last I heard they were working on it. That was like 2 years ago. lol

Finished it last night. It was surprisingly good. Hopefully the quality maintains since they are releasing more episodes at a time now.

[Xevious]

Six new episodes out now on Netflix.

very nice!

[philldafunk]

New season was very underwhelming.

[Xevious]

I've only had the chance to watch the first episode, but I liked it. Being discriminated against for some social media rating system is something I could see happening.

[Reck]

Is it me or was this season overly over the top in the pessimistic department.

The last couple of seasons were funny/cool/innovative but this last one ends in disaster and just low points.

I can't think of a single episode that ends on an upbeat note. This new season was no different in that regard.

yeah, it's kinda the point :lol

but, the christmas ep with hamm was a way bigger downer than the new season imo

[Trill Clinton]

I been hearing a lot about this show. I'm gone binge watch it this weekend and catch up.

I was meaning to watch it but forgot about it.

Why? Is it because they are black and you've put them on the backburner? They aren't worth your memory space? Effin racist pos

Listen guy...do you know how many black things I have to keep track of? Tell me about Lazerus Boopenstoop. Go ahead and Google. You won't find anything. Me? I've got his life history in...yep my head. YOU SHooT SicK pEDos in the HeAd.

[Darth_Pelican]

Just finished this show. I probably enjoyed about half of the episodes. I do like the concept and hope they continue having seasons.

[DMC]

I could only watch a few episodes and even then FFWD through most of it. Decent concept, not so well done imo. Wasn't entertaining for the most part.

You ain't playing with a full deck.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Solid show, but gets meh at some points if you've watched Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, etc.

[SpursforSix]

Been selectively watching this based on reviews. I think I'll check out White Christmas next.
Any other's worth watching?

So far I've seen:
National Anthem
Fifteen Million Merits
Entire History of You
Be Right Back
White Bear
Nosedive
Playtest
Shut Up and Dance

Probably liked White Bear the best.

Muddy Water's first recordings were for the Library of Congress back in 1941. His hearing of his own voice inspired him to become a professional musician. BTW, at the time, he was living on a plantation.

Does anyone give a shit? I don't. I hate being burdened with this expertise

So you are an EXPERT on something ya don't care about? How does that work?

Do you really think anyone actually cares watch you watch on TV? Why would they, well?

Tastes change. I've moved on from learning useless information about many things. I used to be interested in the history of music and how the blues made a major contribution. Yep...knew all those old cats. But now, I really don't care.
As to your second question, I think there are enough people on here with similar tastes in movies or TV that it's worth it to get an opinion once in a while.

Telling strangers what tv shows "YOU" watch isn't useless info to them? Why would they see that as something they need to know, well?

Dude, you do know there are forums out there that only talk track, right?

Nothing useless about knowing all ya can about things that interest you, knowing that is part of the maturation process.

Grow up.

ya know, sometimes it takes some people longer to get where they think they are. and this poor guy is already in his twilight. he's on the back nine, probably 17th tee.

[RD2191]

San Junipero is a fukin trip. Watch it. Probably the best episode of the series.

[SpursforSix]

Yes, I believe that there are some people on here that like Black Mirror and can give me a good recommendation. It's what normal people do.
Case in point...


San Junipero is a fukin trip. Watch it. Probably the best episode of the series.

Thanks Rob, I'll check it out.

Which is where I would go if I felt like passing on my track expertise to people that cared.

Hmmm. That doesn't sound like me. Give me some examples.

[Xevious]

The only episode (that I remember) that ends on a positive note, though there are religious and spiritual implications. It's definitely one of my favorite episodes.

[Reck]

I liked the call of duty one. The feels at the end. :cry

Yeah...just watched it. I had avoided it because the synopsis didn't seem compelling. But it was a great story. Top 2 or 3 for me.
And it was nice to see at least one end on a high note. I was actually surprised. I figured that once Kelly decided to pass over, she was going to arrive to find out that Yorkie had decided to end her stay there.

[Reck]

Black Mirror is back.

13 minutes in and I'm already blown away by the first episode of season 4.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Are there any british black actors talking with american accents this season?

Yeah. Just watched the 1st of season 4. Pretty awesome.

[Capt Bringdown]

Hang The DJ is my fave of season 4

Extra points for using lyrics from a Smiths song in the title, I'm well chuffed.

[leemajors]

the second episode is also excellent.

[DMC]

One of the episodes was written by Jodi Foster.

That one was awesome. I've watched the first five and they were all good with the Star Trek one being the best maybe

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Crocodile was kind of dumb. Others so far have been alright.

[Darth_Pelican]

I really liked the ending of Hang The DJ.

[Capt Bringdown]

Metalhead rated the worst of season 4 on IMDB. I thought it was a stellar episode.
Crocodile and Black Museum I didn't care for much.

[InRareForm]

Hang the dj was good. Crocodile was weak

[SpursforSix]

the second episode is also excellent.

Agreed. I'm through 4 now. Crocodile was the weakest to me but it wasn't terrible. Hard to grade them among each other because they can be so different.

[DMC]

I felt like Black Museum was Netflix' way of patting themselves on the back as if Black Mirror is a cult favorite.

They've found ways to weave other stories into their "universe" which is making it a bit silly. I'd prefer each episode stand on its own.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I would watch a series based off of this season premiere, tbh
Meth Damon torturing mofos trapping them in his little Star Trek fantasy :lol

[Spurtacular]

Watched the first episode and a half. Was hoping for better given the buzz. Seems a bit juvenile.

[Reck]

Metalhead was shit.

They just threw you in there as the audience without any exposition. I found it boring and confusing. What a mess.

From best to worst I would rank it like this:

Hang the DJ
Black Museum
USS Calister
Arkangel
Crocodile
Metalhead

Metalhead and crocodile go down as the shittiest episodes of the whole series as a whole.

So it's a single feature length episode similar to the White Christmas one?

[SpursforSix]

So it's a single feature length episode similar to the White Christmas one?

Yeah...I was hoping it was kicking off a new season but looks to be a full movie. With possible choose your own ending. Whatever that means.
In any event, I'm looking forward to it. Wash the taste of Bird Box out of my mouth.

[leemajors]

White Christmas was so damn good.

White Christmas was so damn good.

I couldn't remember what that was about and after looking, I realized I haven't seen it.

It's probably the best of the series imo.

X3 watched it last night. Was excellent.

[SpursforSix]

Brandersnatch was very good. Cool story intertwined with the well executed choose your ending concept. Became a little cumbersome to keep going back and remake choices but I get why they had to do it that way. As opposed to having to start the whole thing over each time.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Pretty cool. I liked the meta endings.
Also the shout-out to Philip K Dick with the Ubik poster in Colin's room.

[Spurminator]

I liked the concept and some of the meta-ness was funny, but overall it was pretty weak writing and acting. The gimmick kind of overwhelmed the story and the whole thing felt a little half-assed. Someday I hope someone will take this concept to its full potential.

You can thank the piece of trash Bandersnatch for only getting 3 episodes in season 5.

They threw a year's budget on a concept that failed miserably. (Interactive feature)

LOL
It wasn't that bad. Plus how can you say anything on Netflix failed... Are you sure there's only 3 eps?

[Reck]

Did you enjoy the movie? Apart from interactive aspect of it, the writing and plot was shit.

And it's in the trailer. The narrator says 3 stories so that's assuming 3 episodes. Unless they changed the format and are now telling multiple stories within a single episode.

Should be good though. Miley Cyrus is seeing whoring herself in one of the clips for the people who like the skank. :lol

[spurraider21]

"Why isn't there a White Mirror show?"

-Nathan

[Darth_Pelican]

The trailer does say it's only 3 episodes but watching the trailer I see 4 different stories: The guy who snaps from the texting noises; The black guy who's addicted to dating site and is cheating; The unpopular girl who is addicted to her Amazon Echo robot looking thing; The Miley Cyrus one. Perhaps the latter 2 are the same episode.

I liked it. We prob spent like 2.5-3 hrs on it.

[Reck]

"Season 5" came and went for me. Done in one night. :lol

EDIT:

A little premature on the getting better and better part. :lol

That Miley episode was fucking cringe af.

[Capt Bringdown]

They didn't even try on Season 5...fucking awful. The Miley Cyrus bit was wretched. BOOO!

[Reck]

They didn't even try on Season 5...fucking awful. The Miley Cyrus bit was wretched. BOOO!

Episode 2 and 1 were good. Bailed on the teenage girl overload that was episode 3 15 minutes in.

Ep 1 gets better on a second rewatch. Fucking weird episode to be sure.

[Xevious]

First two episodes were okay. Everything about that Miley Cyrus episode was dumb as hell though.

[leemajors]

I liked all of them, the first was especially entertaining.

[hater]

The 1st of season 5 was fucking great :lol

The 2nd boring and 3rd didn't even watch 15 min of it. Will try again but why only 3 episodes???

[vy65]

Miley Cyrus covering Head Like A Hole?

[Darth_Pelican]

Miley Cyrus covering Head Like A Hole?

Yeah but in the episode it was presented as if she wrote the song. She even says "I wrote this song about my shitty aunt". I liked the 1st half of the episode. The 2nd half and especially the ending act was dumb. Yeah, the security guard believed that 2 teenage girls were rodent control, so he let them in the mansion when Miley was upstairs sedated.

I hear you. That’s what happened in the episode. And then Miley fucking Cyrus covered Head Like A Hole in what may be the worst scene in television history.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

She also was covering "Right were it belongs" on the piano, which IMO sounded pretty decent. The head like a hole cover was outright silly :lol

[Darth_Pelican]

After 4 years, this returns tomorrow

[Xevious]

I've only watched the first two episodes so far. Loch Henry felt like a pretty big departure from the show's technology centric theme, except for poking fun at peoples' obsession with true crime documentaries on streaming platforms. And Joan is Awful was just okay... basically a middle-of-the-pack episode for Black Mirror.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

They went full horror. Became a different show.

[Xevious]

They went full horror. Became a different show.
My wife had American Horror Stories on TV while watching Tictok on her phone (as she does), I switched it to Black Mirror and she didn't even realize until the episode was almost over. :lol
