Couple episodes into new season of Black Mirror. Excellent so far.

Enjoyed the first 2... half way through the 3rd and it's not as good as the first 2 but very watchable.

Didn't like the first one myself. Struck me as something that would work better on paper but the visual connection as good as impossible to carry off.

**Spoiler Alert**

Definitely used a previous South Park storyline arc then there was the inception twist at the end. Still I thought it was an interesting concept and enjoyed it.

White House Plumbers.

Fun look at Liddy and Hunt's role in Watergate.

Woody Harrelson is always watchable, but Justin Theroux does a funny, campy take on the admittedly ludicrous character that was G. Gordon Liddy.

Very poor fare, I thought.  Reminded me of Sixth Sense  in that there was an idea for a twist that people wouldn't see coming, and the writers reckoned that would be enough to make the stuff that came before it good.

Funny enough , I caught the end of  the sixth sense a  while ago , and had to  laugh.  The whole premise of that  film was  really laughable.

Didn't he  work it out himself?  Your wife  never acknowledges your  existence?  You  never seem to be  able to hail a taxi?  You can't seem  to open doors  by  yourself. Maybe you're  dead Bruce, ya eejit

Hmmm... that's me, apart from the doors thing.  Being dead would explain a lot.

2nd episode of Black Mirror a big improvement over the first, imo.

Yep, bang back in form.

Episode 3 pretty good too.

As a rule, Black Mirror better is a better concept when focused on human dilemmas enabled by technology, rather than technology enabling human dilemmas. Which probably makes no sense, but it does me.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Episode 3 was pretty great alright.  Great ending.

Just watch Bloodhounds on Netflix...I'm not too hard to please but I loved it!

Is black mirror a show that you can just watch standalone episodes or do you need to follow the series?

[bennydorano]

2 episodes into The Silo on AppleTV, very very promising. Dystopian / Mystery / Sci-fi

Stumbling along in a run of the mill way now, not great.

Foundation is a much better sci fi show on Apple

Standalone episodes.

Final episode of Black Mirror is really terrific.  Proper Hammer House of Horror stuff.  And with a hilarious demon.
