Black Mirror

[misery chastain loves co.]

I've watched up to the Nosedive episode and White Bear is by far my favorite ep. I loved the concept and I wish something like that actually existed! What a great twist.
On the whole I have enjoyed most of the episodes, some better than others of course but looking forward to the rest!
I heard Jodie Foster is directing an ep next season.

"White Bear" is an Awesome Episode.
It is an Ethical dilemma...
Of course, she is an Offender.
But misery chastain loves co. ......is this the kind of penal-system we want ?
Sure, her Crime was gross and we all sat in our Chairs watched related News,
wishing that those Offenders , smoke in Hell. ( I did so)

After this Episode, am not Sure anymore

It is more Torture, what this Episode interferes

And it shows the Sensation Seeking, the curiosity , the lousy Behaviour of the Reputable Society

Watched more of these this weekend also. Bouncing around and not following the order, just whatever sounds good in the series. Be Right Back was tough. I cried pretty much through it.

I loved USS Callister. It totally made me laugh. And Jimmi Simpson is in it, you might know him as the William in Westworld.

We watched a few of these this weekend. Watching the first one about the British Prime Minister and his.......scenario was like watching a train wreck...so strange. Didn't much care for the second episode but still perusing them watching one here and there. Strange show.
There's a show on HULU called Shut Eye that is very cool. Gypsy mafia type show where everyone is playing an angle. It stars the guy from Burn Notice, so far not really a bad episode.

I watched the USS Callister episode last night... it was great!

When she slapped the guy, and Jimmi's reaction -- it was as pure and real as a reaction could get. I laughed.

I'll have to catch this Shut Eye, sounds interesting and I liked Burn Notice, he was a good actor.

I know, and the dialogue throughout was hilarious!

The Shut Eye looks good and I used to watch Burn Notice too, liked him in that.

Me too, the guy is a good actor, did a good job in Burn Notice. No bad episodes so far, about mid way thru season 2.

Also, strangely enough, by mutual consent, all three of us back-burnered The Sopranos until further notice. We were binging on it then just kind of.....I don't know, maybe just not in the mood for it at the moment, we may come back to it...fuhget about it....

I watched Arkangel tonight, it was a little predictable, but still quite good.

There's a new sci fi marathon thread -- be sure and add your episodes there so I can keep track of the good ones.

Done.

 

[Dana Jean]

Done.

Very good. this way, I will for sure see your reviews on the episodes!

Oops, I didn't write any, only the titles.

Finished the 2nd season of "Shut Eye". I'd probably rate season 1 just a bit better than season 2 but the show is still solid. Apparently season 3 isn't due out until December of 2018....long wait...

I looked for it but couldn't find it. (we don't always get all the same stuff as you guys)

Tonight I watched another Black Mirror episode: Crocodile. Hmmm, I wasn't really a fan of this one, just a lot of nasty without much in the way of redeeming factors.

That's Black Mirror all over, difficult to believe that all the episodes are written by the same person. Crocodile is fairly awful and USS Callister is sublime. I've also watched Arkangel, Hang the DJ and Metalhead from the new season and those can be neatly slotted between the other two in ascending (or descending) order by quality.

Hey folks, I just got Netflix a few months ago and finally tried a Black Mirror episode Tuesday night. I started with Season 1 Ep. 1 and if I continue I plan to watch in order. My question to you guys is - should I keep watching? I could not look away from National Anthem, and while it was tough watching the PM try to deal with this situation, I was disturbed because I really do feel that as a world, we are so absorbed in reality TV and the way everyone kept watching, even when they wanted to stop just hit me as too close to home. In reading the Netflix synopsis for E2, it almost seemed like the same kind of thing, just a new main character to have to humiliate themselves while the world watches. If that is the case for this and future episodes, I'll probably pass on the rest of the show. I would appreciate feedback from fans.

Thanks!
