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.
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.Quote:

Why the lie?
You know why Michael Jordan didn't win a championship in 1994? Yep...he didn't play in 1994.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:

I been hearing a lot about this show. I'm gone binge watch it this weekend and catch up.
Did you (or anyone) catch that show, "Atlanta"?Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.
Who really cares guy?Quote:

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.Quote:

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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Black Mirror is back.
13 minutes in and I'm already blown away by the first episode of season 4.
Are there any british black actors talking with american accents this season?
Sold.Quote:

I really liked the ending of Hang The DJ.
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.
Hang the dj was good. Crocodile was weak
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.Quote:

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.
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
Watched the first episode and a half. Was hoping for better given the buzz. Seems a bit juvenile.
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.
I finished the last two last night.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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

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

Should be good though. Miley Cyrus is seeing whoring herself in one of the clips for the people who like the skank. :lol
"Why isn't there a White Mirror show?"
-Nathan
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.Quote:

A little premature on the getting better and better part. :lol
That Miley episode was fucking cringe af.
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.Quote:

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