So far I've watched 1-3. Could be some spoilers below:

1: I LOVED about 90% of the episode. One thing I like abotu BM is the futuristic yet also plausible aspects of it. The searching for likes and upvotes thing was awesome to watch but I didn't care for the ending. It was too cringey which definitely isn't what BM is known for. Her breaking down giving the wedding speech was somethign I'd expect out of a lame sitcom. And the end when they're finally free to cuss at each other with no repercussions...eh I get it it just didn't really resonate with me I guess.

2: This is the kind of ep I've come to expect of BM. Futuristic, creepy, twists and turns, surprising ending. I really liked this one. I changed my mind several times in a few minutes on what was real or simluated.

3: Similar to the first one, I overall liked the episode but was probably more enthralled with the story instead of the ending. I was super into this goose chase the kid is going on, but at the end he gets outed anyway. I get that it was kind of justice since he was a perv but it kinda of made the rest of the story for naught in a way. Also...I'm not a "we need answers for everythign" kind of person but we don't know shite about who was behind the hack, why they did it, how/why they got so many other people involved, what is their endgame, what do they want, etc.

I didn't think E6 was very Black Mirror-esque

I still enjoyed it but I thought that it was more of just a solid Sci-Fi movie than anything else.

I can't think of one that I clearly enjoyed above the others. If I had to pick a favorite from S3 I would probably go with Playtest at the moment. They were all pretty solid but nothing topping some of the S1 or S2 episodes.

IMO - It was the Internet Security software people. Removing Malware in real life.

thats the point though. look at internet hackers today. a lot of them do it for no other reason than just because they can. thats why you see the troll face at the end. random people doing it to random people just for shits and giggles. that is literally already happening now. which is the reason i didnt care for the episode. thats been going on for years now.
