love it

Eddielzzard · 02/05/2021 19:49

It is incredibly good. One of them still haunts me in the small hours of the morning tho

Pebbledashery · 02/05/2021 19:51

I watched the Shut up and dance one yesterday that was particularly disturbing.

A great series, I binge watched it while waiting hours for my plane connection at Ottawa airport. ( a really boring airport)

Sounds intriguing! What’s it about? (Without too many spoilers )
Always looking for something new to watch on netflix Smile

Black Mirror is absolutely AMAZING!

iklboo · 02/05/2021 22:48

@abouquetofsharpenedpencils - different stories every time. Some outstanding episodes.

bigdecisionaboutwork · 02/05/2021 22:49

I LOVED Black Mirror, also Inside No 9, is there anything else similar?

CookPassBabtridge · 02/05/2021 22:50

One of my favourite shows 🖤 So unique, thought provoking and brain sucking plots. My favourite is San Junipero.

coodawoodashooda · 02/05/2021 22:50

I think it's exhausting. Don't enjoy it at all.

CurryLover55 · 02/05/2021 22:51

Is it horror?

abouquetofsharpenedpencils · 02/05/2021 22:53

@CurryLover55
Was just going to ask this!

abouquetofsharpenedpencils · 02/05/2021 22:55

Thanks @iklboo
Sounds interesting as long as it’s not disturbing/horror.

BabloHoney · 02/05/2021 22:56

Some of it is horror but it’s mainly dystopian. “Hated in the Nation” was my favourite

ItsOnLikeDonkeyKong · 02/05/2021 22:57

The early ones are fantastic. Then it gets progressively shitter.

Some absolutely amazing episodes though.

DesperateHousewife2018 · 02/05/2021 22:58

@abouquetofsharpenedpencils Not a horror but each episode looks at the drawbacks of how we might live in a technology driven future. It isn't scary as in jumpscare or gory. But it is scary that we are already so far into some of the ways of living explored in the different episodes! I loved it.

Pebbledashery · 02/05/2021 23:06

I thought nose dive was a great episode. I finished on that last night, I didn't watch series 3 in order but it doesn't matter.
Starting series 4 this week.

@Pebbledashery Nosedive is such a great episode. It reminds me so much of Uber ratings and obsessing over being a good passenger. I also loved The Entire History of You. Have you tried Bandersnatch yet?

Eddielzzard · 03/05/2021 09:53

Metalhead was the hardest hitting for me. I still think about that, years later.

Workinghardeveryday · 03/05/2021 10:07

Omg the prime minister one 😱😱😱

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 03/05/2021 11:26

My favourites-

White Bear
Shut Up and Dance
Crocodile

Some of them I just didn't get

ConnieDobbs · 03/05/2021 11:31

They are all good, some are really excellent

diddl · 03/05/2021 14:29

@Workinghardeveryday

Omg the prime minister one 😱😱😱
That was the first one I think.

Didn't bother with any more after that.

PheasantPlucker1 · 03/05/2021 14:37

Love black mirror, but can we please not talk about the Prime Minister one?

I still havent got over that...

gamerchick · 03/05/2021 14:43

They're close enough to reality but not quite so your mind could almost believe it, but then you can actually see it happening for real if we allow technology to progress past a certain point.

Charlie Brooker is mint.
