I watched them in random order and the first episode I ever watched was the 3rd season episode that actually has a happy ending.

I thought wow, this isn't nearly as disturbing as people say. Then I watched White Christmas next.

Love it. Our option The worst episode of the series was Episode 2 season 1.

I know I enjoy the first episode more than most people, but how The Waldo Moment isn't unanimously voted the worst episode of the series blows my mind.



I'm with you. The National Anthem doesn't really fit in with other Black Mirror Episodes, but at least it's fairy entertaining. I feel similarly about Hated in the Nation.

I flat out hated The Waldo Moment.

No. I simply didn't find it entertaining or interesting.

The Waldo Moment basically predicted the Trump Presidency. It's brilliant.

I thought it was hilarious, but I watched it during the height of the presidential election and wasn't feeling too sympathetic to politicians.

Skipped the first episode (dude has to frick a pig on tv or something)

The rest has been wonderful so far. Solid episode after solid episode. Reminds me of a new age Twilight Zone if all the plots involved technology.

The last episode I watched wasn't that intriguing as the others (Waldo was a bit boring but it did predict Trump) but it was still good.

I really liked san junipero. It made me open my mind to the fact that eternal life may not be possible in a physical world due to limitations on the body, but definitely is in a virtual one. Eventually we will crack the way the brain stores memory and conscious and will be able to live forever.

I thought the episode was bordering on high art. Truly exceptional.

I love it.

Though, the twilight zone is in my top 3 of all time. Feels like an updated tz, based around technological "advances".

It's not that it's bad its like getting the last piece of cake with no icing. Not as good as the rest of the cake. BUT WHO CARES CAKE. looking back I enjoyed it just, but for the first outing wasn't a strong episode to kick off the series on.
