Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 30, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted April 30, 2017 Anyone given this a watch on Netflix? Quite a decent series of stand alone episodes based on near future possible technology, some of it is quite frightening in that you could see some of it happening.

...Dan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Brilliant show. There are some weak episodes, but overall I love it. White Bear is probably my favourite episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I only watched the first season, and it made me uncomfortable at times, which I believe is what this show wants to achieve. Top show. I am trying to find time to squeeze the later seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just finished the 1st episode of season 4. Incredible stuff as always and great start to the new season. Loved Aaron Paul's inclusion at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted December 30, 2017 Administrator Share Posted December 30, 2017 went to watch the new series on Netflix last night then realised I hadn't finished series 3 Got a couple of days off next week so will probably watch the new stuff then. Brilliant programme though - so much creativity in it. Must be quite difficult to perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those episodes, however brilliant, not something I want to watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If I were to rank them, 1. Hang the DJ 2. Black Museum 3. USS Calister 4. Crocodile 5. Metal Head 6. Arkangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 2, 2018 Author Subscriber Share Posted January 2, 2018 I've watched the first two. USS Callister was good. Arkangel was thought provoking but not massively entertaining. Would have been better if the girl grew up to be fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...Dan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I've watched the first three and USS Callister is my favourite by far so far, great episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig on the Wing Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hang the DJ was great and the first one I have watched of season 4, but it was actually happy like San Junipero. I much prefer the bleak, miserable episodes. White Bear and White Christmas are my joint favourites, followed up by Shut up and Dance, if only for the magical, magical use of Radiohead's 'Exit Music (For a Film)' in the last 5 minutes. I look forward to Black Museum, I hear that is REALLY dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Wouldn't say dark, just sort of fucked up. As far as the predictability aspect, I'm sure many people were wondering how that man got away with what he did with those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Don't think this season was as good as previous seasons. Episode 4 was probably the best of the lot by quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Hang the DJ was great viewing. Some very clever writing in this.. I will have to check out the previous seasons now.. I highly recommend you do. Start from season 1 and watch chronologically - I feel that that the first two seasons, free from American influence, are mostly much better. Generally, I feel these episodes are more thought-provoking, gentle nudges showing what could happen in a near, alternate future, rather than the latter two seasons' 'BLAAARGH TECHNOLOGY WILL KILL US ALL' overtone.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 9, 2018 Author Subscriber Share Posted January 9, 2018 Just the last one to go. Was going to watch it tonight but haven't got round to it. My reviews so far... USS Callister - really enjoyed it, impressed me the cast they manage to get in for such a relatively obscure series of one off episodes. Ending was slightly predictable but Aaron Paul was amusing. Arkangel - creeped me out a bit because you can see so many people taking the same route as the mother did in this, and that sort of creepy you can see it being possible uneasiness is why I watch Black Mirror. I enjoyed it but thought it was a bit similar to a few others they've done. Crocodile - was expecting something mind fucky here after what I've read on here and heard from friends but didn't find it as dark as I expected. Bit disappointed in this one to be honest. Probably desensitized to the worst part by Game of Thrones and Walking Dead and previous Black Mirrors. Hang the DJ - quality, love the episodes where the big reveal at the end is like a "punchline " and the two main characters were really likeable. Metal Head - enjoyed this for the tension and the thriller value. The story was a bit meh but I enjoyed it for what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
