Just started this up this week. Wondered if there was a thread about it. I'm only on episode three though, but it's really, really well done. Very intense.

Just realized I started on season 3. First three episodes are so good! Playtest is my favorite.

oh man i watched the war one with my buddies a few nights ago while we were drinkin. trippy shit, good shit, i liked it

Finally starting on this after wanting to watch for a while. Really liked the first two episodes

I knew the concept of the show going in but it was a bit JARRING going from one episode that was fairly grounded in reality to one which was much more speculative sci-fi. Definitely keeps things FRESH tho Both eps have been great but I think I liked the second a bit better, seemed more fleshed out. And this show clearly doesn't shy away from dark endings, I was really hoping Bing was gonna somehow save his girlfriend when he got back into Hot Shot. That was so sad :(

The hardest part about S1 E2 for me was that there wasn't a lot of dialogue and since they were trying to depict the boring and unsatisfying life these people lead, it kind of felt boring and unsatisfying for a while. But that monologue he gave at the end was so well done (even though there were bits I couldn't understand).

That was so fucked up. Like what the prisoner did was terrible, but she didn't even REMEMBER it. She's arguably not even the same person. So even though her 'past' self was capable of doing that, there's no guarantee she'd ever do something like that again without any memories of her past leading up to it and now that she no longer knows the boyfriend I wasn't that into it for the first half of the episode, even though it seemed like an interesting concept (all the people silently staring out the windows was creepy af) but that twist is what sold it for me. That was flawlessly executed. And the scenes throughout the credits of the cheery theme park-like atmosphere was the icing on the cake so far: 15 Million Merits > White Bear > Be Right Back > National Anthem > Entire History of You

2x03 + I guess I know where all the "This was the scariest episode of Black Mirror yet" comments this election season came from (: That was almost eerily accurate, especially considering it aired in 2013 Other than being prophetic though I wasn't a huge fan of the ep. Probably the weakest so far Did love this line tho: "If that thing is the main opposition then the whole system looks absurd. Which it may well be – but it built these roads."

in my opinion, that episode is the weakest in the whole series by a lot

Boc, plz describe the episodes better since I can't remember them by episode #!

(Although I agreed with you RE: 2x02)

I guess the one that surprised me the most was the "child molestor" one. Never saw that coming.

Sorry! I should obviously try to remember episode #s!
