Black Mirror- Netflix [** Spoilers **]

K-9

Going to watch the last 2 tonight.

Thought episode 1 was the weakest, Ep. 2 genuinely spooked me out as I'd know why he fears it so much, 3 wasn't bad but the twist won me over as I didn't see it coming, that was cleverly done, and Ep.4 was different from others, killer soundtrack as others said.

Anybody know the back story, or if there is one, to the song that's repeated in a good few episodes? It's sang in 15 million merits and a line here and there is repeated in other episodes.

Just finished the final season there. Honestly some of the best TV I've ever watched. The twists at the end of some of the episodes were incredible.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Only just now got around to finishing the 3rd Season. Surprised that some people have lumped Hated In The Nation (03x06) as one of the weaker episodes of the season, because for me it was second to best after San Junipero (03x04).

On reflection, I'd actually throw Nosedive (03x01) in there in 3rd place, just marginally ahead of Shut Up and Dance(03x03), both of which I still very much enjoyed.

While I enjoyed Playtest (03x02), it's one I wouldn't be overly eager to watch again, unlike the ones I've previously mentioned, which I imagine I'll give multiple viewing in the years to come. I do agree with the general consensus that Men Against Fire (03x05) was the weakest of the season (and if memory serves the entire series, but it is awhile since I've seen the first 2 seasons).

Great episode, but if you are new to it then you're in for a treat with 1st 2 seasons. So many even better episodes in them.

Just finished watching these. Playtest was scary af. Loved San Junipero. That was the nicest of them all. **** up and dance was so confusing/disturbing. More excellent TV from Brooker.

Yea San Juipero is a great episode, we even get a bit a pixies "Something Against You" their most underrated song. Only episode I wasn't so keen on was Men Against Fire the fifth episode which followed San Junipero.

Jodie Fosters is supposedly directing the first episode of the 4th season.

Watched it again Saturday night it's a fantastic standalone episode, it stands up to multiple viewings and great performances from the two leads. Plus it helps that I was in my teens in the 80's so love the soundtrack.
In second place would be Shut up and dance with that killer twist at the end!

Yea the soundtrack was amazing. Right up my street. I just found the whole thing really moving, I actually blubbed at the end. Shut up and Dance would be my second fav also. Loved White Bear too.

Btw Anna if you enjoy a good auld cry and a film that has some passing similarities with San Junipero (time travel, romance) then seek out "Somewhere in Time" starring the late great Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour, you will be an emotional wreak after watching it.

YES! San Junipero won two emmys last night! Well deserved for one of the finest pieces of TV I've seen in a long time

San Junipero just won an Emmy. More than well deserved .
Brilliant television. One of the best episodes of anything I have seen in years.

^ Yep, glad to see Charlie Brooker is getting the international acclaim he deserves.

Been a fan of him since the TVGoHome days and I recommend his books wholeheartedly (although they are just a compilation of articles he's written), they're excellent!

Not due to be available until 2018!

Surprised they didn't mention that Jodie Foster directed that first episode. Ido wonder about that man who says he's 2,000 years old ... :eek:

Probably a figure of speech. This seems to be about an implant that tracks (and maybe controls?) a child

Keeping audiences in perpetual suspense leading them to go mental sounds like a potential plotline for the next series!
