The Entire History of You was my favorite of the 3, just incredible.

Is the production quality and acting consistently this good throughout the series?


I'd say yes. Just about every episode is kinda like EHOY in the tone/feel. Pretty much all of them are very "real life" like, but with the added touch of extreme technology we don't have yet. That's one thing I love about it...it's not like Star Trek or something that is just SO futuristic it's not even believable. It feels like our everyday modern world aside from some extra tech which could realistically be plausible at some point.

I think 15 million merits is underrated. It never really gets talked about but I like it a lot. EHOY is considered one of the best.

Season 2 also only has 3 episodes...1 of them I really liked a lot, I'd put it on par with 15MM, 1 of them I thought was good but somewhat forgettable, and 1 of them I didn't care for at all and wouldn't ever watch again. I don't want to assign ep titles to the above though since you should form your own opinions.

You'll notice between S2 and this current S3 there's a "special", just 1 episode that's about 90 minutes, almost like a mini-movie. I don't want to try to shape your views before watching episodes, but I'll just say that the special episode is considered the best of the entire show and completely blew me away.

I beg you, please keep watching and report back. I know I'm a broken record but that is likely 1 of the 2 worst episodes of the entire series. It doesnt' have nearly the same "feel" as just about every other BM episode has.

And update us on your progress!

What WG_Dawg said. That first episode is so unlike the rest of the series IMO.

My personal favorites are

White Christmas
Be Right Back
San Junipero
The Entire History of You
Nosedive

I can buy that for 2 reasons; obviously there are twice as many episodes in S3 as the other seasons which is definitely nice. S3 also doesn't have any dead weight, every episode is good to great.

Finished S1. The 15MM was my favorite. The show is just absurd. *spoiler*















The part in the third episode where they were having sex, yet not...threw me off.

there were 2 scenes in EHOY that really blew me away. 1 was the one you mentioned...they're going hot and heavy and you're like "sweet, they're getting back on track" then you see it's just memories and they're basically just robots fulfilling a need...that was kind of shocking.

The next isn't really that interesting or cool or groundbreaking or anything...I just really liked it for some reason. The dude sits down with some whiskey at night and starts going over old footage on the TV. There's a super quick cut and next we see him in the exact same position, unmoved, but now it's daylight. Dude has been sitting there for like 8 striaght hours. It kinda reminded me of the final scene in the Shining (SPOILERS I GUESS.......) where we see Jack lay down at night then a quick cut to him the next morning frozen. It just kinda took me back for a second.

Love the hell out of this show.

Incredible. Probably one of my favorite single episodes of television ever. All 3 storylines that are weaved together in that episode are just so extremely well done and interesting. I was on the edge of my seat the entire thing, which is rare for a TV episode of that length.

You may feel the same after San Junipero. Those 2 have a similar vibe

Black Mirror is a British modern version of The Outer Limits.
