first off, each episode is standalone and not related to any others so you don't have to go in order from the beginning. Skipping around is not an issue.


Well yeah that’s why I said “stories”. The first three just aren’t good imo. Maybe there are some good ones in there. I’ll check out White Christmas.

You didn't think The Entire History of You was any good? That's the best one of the series IMO.

White Christmas is great as well, but I suspect if you didn't like tEHoY you may not like it either.

Admittedly, the very first episode (National Anthem) is one of the worst of the series though. I wanted to give up after that one, but kept going and really liked 15 Million Merits. Then I watched tEHoY and was blown away.

The beauty of BM is that some episodes are incredible and some are just meh. But the ones I think are awesome/meh will be the complete opposite of what someone else may think. Every time we have a thread like this, after a few pages pretty much all of the episodes have been named because they all speak to people differently. For example, some people loved Bandersnatch (which was their attempt at making a "choose your own adventure" show), and I hated it.

If you're still willing to give it a shot, I'd definitely recommend White Christmas. If you are pleased enough with that one to continue, maybe try these:
Shut Up and Dance
White Bear
San Junipero (one of the few "happy" ones)

What's scary about BM is that some of the stories feel totally plausible with where the world (and technology) is headed. Nosedive is a good example of that.
