Lol!  He might not trust you again 

I don't know what you're talking about that's a good episode.

 

He doesn't trust me now XD

It was the one about the guy with a camera-type-thing implanted in his eye. That’s all I really remember as I didn’t pay much attention. 

I am gonna keep watching it, though. I just don’t like the sheer randomness of the episodes. I prefer order!

I liked that one. Some of them make you think about things.

I liked that one too (except for the ending part with the wife - I felt bad for her). Anyways, I can see people being like “WTF NO” to the premise of the story  😂

.... so you're just over here missing everything and then popping up to say you didn't get it 

 

*almost autocorrected that to pooping

That tech would be hella dangerous because I can see people getting crazy obsessive with it.

I never said I didn’t get it. I said it just didn’t interest me that much. Facts are facts for a reason!

Haven’t yet, but we randomly put on The Entire History of You again. I love this series.

Ok so I poked around and found this one....I think that's that Mackey guy who played Falcon, so meh....ok.

Oh, it about a fighting game ...ok, I'm invested....this can get good I think.

*They finally play*

Sooooo, they gonna fuck?

I really enjoyed that one. It was uncomfortable but fascinating.

I like to watch things in order. Sorry. 😂

I didn’t realize they’re playing in random order (I watched them a long time ago, as the seasons were released).  Maybe the first season was the strongest?  (Trying to remember the eps).

There was one about social media (Nose Dive?) which was so great a few years ago when FB/IG were more popular.

Yeah, I remember when it first came out my wife and I were absolutely blown away. Usually we would watch a show and then talk about them, but with this show we’d watch it, and then sit there, and just think quietly.

[Vamped]

I think I liked the majority of them. There were only a couple that I wasn't really feeling

I think the White Bear episode had me questioning my morals

Fuck ‘em. They fucked with a kid.

That was my thought too. We had a whole discussion about ethics. It didn't change my mind but I enjoyed the discussion

Ok, I watched Striking Vipers. Definitely not bad, but I just don't know if this show is for me. I don't do much horror/sci-fi these days.

So you are on Team Nah.  That’s cool 😎 

They’re mostly dystopian and about the dark side of technology/society.  I can see not being in the mood for it.

I think I’m more on Team Maybe. 🤔

I will watch a few more to be sure. It’s just gonna be hard to keep up with what I have watched, since my brain is usually turned off.

I'll probably watch all of it. Don't worry. 

[Insipid]

Why must Jesse Pinkman always suffer for our sins? 😭

[Insipid]

Also, San Junipero will always be the best episode of Black Mirror.

[The_annoying_one]

Okay. Bout done with the first 3 seasons and…. I think I’ll stick with it. It’s hit-or-miss, but most shows are.

[naraku360]

Nah, episodic anthologies don't tend to be for me. Especially long ones with wildly differing quality throughout.

I'm pretty upset with your very accurate analysis on my new favorite show

Honestly, I can never guess what your tastes will land on. I guess wrong like 80% of the time when you make a thread about something.

That and Bandersnatch are the best Black Mirror has to offer, by a substantial degree in my opinion.

Bandersnatch may be next for me, then.

Have y'all got to Shut Up and Dance?

 

 

 

That one fucked me up good

[Vamped]

The USS Callister was good to me 

 

 

Be Right Back I had some thoughts

I watched Shut Up and Dance this afternoon, but I was busy doing other things and missed some of it. Playtest was really good, though.

Love Death + Robots is another discussion 

I think I may like more of their episodes though 

[PhilosipherStoned]

Yes full stop.

[André Toulon]

I was like "bro, you spanked it on camera, there's no reason to rob a bank and ruin your life over it"

Then.......🤨😮🤬

[Insipid]

Just watched Loch Henry and now I'm in the mood for a shepherd's pie. This was my favorite episode of the new season. Mazey Day was shit.

I honestly keep forgetting what Mazey Day is about and I have to go back and read the synopsis

Don't blame you. Only thing I liked about the episode was that it was a throwback to the mid 2000s. Other than that, shit shit shit. One of the worst episodes of the entire series.

[discolé monade]

mazey day reminded me of an 80's film that was just as horrible. BUT i was not expecting that. 

honestly thought it was going to go a completely different, on the run, route. 

[The_annoying_one]

I watched Black Museum this afternoon. A little corny, but I enjoyed it.

[Insipid]

I'm not sure I really like the direction Black Mirror is heading. I imagine the next season might have something ludicrous like a wizard in medieval Wales creating a smartphone and causing a witch hunt with the clergy. Overall, a good season, but . . . eh . . . . . .
