Spoiler alert, there will maybe probably be spoilers in this thread! PS this thread is for episodes 1&2 of Season 4, please no spoilers for the rest of the season!
So obviously the new season of Black Mirror (season 4) is now available on Netflix today.
Who watches this?
I'm off work till the 3rd Jan so I could technically binge all of S4 in a day, but I'm gonna do 2 eps a day instead. I've only seen the first 2 episodes so far.
One I thought was one of the weakest of the entire show, one I thought is one of the best.
I think anyone who watches this show will have different favourites to the next person.
USS Callister goes straight into my favourite 3 episodes alongside Shut up and Dance, and San Junipero, Callister replacing 15 million merits (15 million merits I still think is the most thought provoking).
What did you think of USS Callister? I thought it was phenomenal, granted it became pretty obvious half way through one side is gonna be stuck on board or inside the simulation forever, but I liked the twist in that the 'good guys' (who appeared to be the villains right at the start), at least had some sort of exciting ending even though won't have it all their way (the random gamer telling them to get out of his area was amusing).
My only concern is that no other episode of BM S4 is gonna match up to that one.
What'd you think of episode 1 & 2 of BM S4?
Black Mirror: 'USS Callister'

Finished the series and really enjoyed it. The Black Museum is worth watching at the end (It contains a few artifacts in the background that are recognizable from earlier episodes (and earlier series too).
I didnt think that Arkangel was bad it was just seemed to fall a little short.

The one with the robot guard dog was excellent.

Seen the first three episodes. Absolutely brilliant, been trying to savour them by not binge watching and watching one a day.
Love black mirror, probably my favourite tv show, it’s completely different to anything else out there. Only problem is there are only six episodes then it’s a long old wait.
Anyone else can recommend any other series which are similar to it?

Have you seen the Channel 4 Series Electric Dreams. Some episodes are a little more Sci-Fi than Black mirror but are worth watching (There are 6 already out with another 5 - 6 episodes soon).

Just finished the series. USS Callister and Black museum by far the best 2 episodes.
Metalhead kept you hooked, but I was waiting for an explanation as to what the hell was actually going on and unless i missed something, you didn't get one. Weird episode.

turned off half way through episode 2 of season 1, thought the first one was just disgusting and weird tbh. One of those for the artsy types i'd wager.
