Accurate, I think.

I came across this series somehow and I'm midway through s01e02. My God. Fantastic.

Black Mirror is fantastic. I've been rewatching it all from the start recently. Apparently there are clues in the Christmas episode which link up all of the previous episodes, putting them all in the same fictional universe.

The scary (and brilliant) thing is, it doesn't really seem all that fictional.

Saw the first 2 episodes of the new season. So far so good, Brooker hasn't lost it, though the show seems to have lost just a tad of depth. Glad to hear it's moved to netflix. I don't have an account but it seems like a good place for it, where it's needed the most.

I loved the 2nd episode from this season!

Why is this in Random sound btw?

I think I'm one of the few people disappointed with the latest season. I really loved the previous ones but none of the new episodes rang any bell with me. I thought the new stories lack depth and are not really interesting or thought-provoking as they used to be. After the credits roll I'm left blank with not much to think about, contrary to the old eps. The 'anon' episode I thought was dumb in particular, it plays out like a crappy urban legend with no interesting twist. It's a shame as I really loved S1 and 2, I just hope it gets better on the next season.

An excellent, excellent show and a theme with abundant possibilities. After the very first (pilot) episode, which I thought was dumb, I stuck with it and was rewarded with 3 seasons of very thought-provoking drama. Great scoring too.

I just watched every Black Mirror episode that was on Netflix... I believe it was the first 3 seasons. I loved them all. My favorite was "Playtest," "Hated in the Nation," "Shut Up and Dance, and the one that most fucked with me was "White Christmas" ...... That one got me in that weird "forever" place.... I get all overwhelmed and schized out sometimes and go to that timeless place of horrified anxiety filled eternity. I don't know if anyone know what I mean... but I've gotten myself into this stuck mindset every once in a while since I was a kid. And that episode kind of weirdly explained it at points. Crazy. My favorite new show though.... Like a modern Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock type thing.

I love Black Mirror, did not catch any new episodes yet though.
