Top 3 Favorites are probably

Entire History of You
Nosedive
White Bear


I've only seen White Bear once and it was a while ago...I've been watching some here and there lately due to this thread so I might need to give that one a rewatch soon. I'm surprised you have WB and nosedive listed above White Christmas...was it just not your cup of tea or do you just REALLY like those others?

White Christmas was by far my favorite episode. I enjoyed some of the others but a lot of them didn't fully come together for me. They did a good job at showing whatever technological pitfall they were striving for but apart from that seemed lacking in a lot of ways. The first episode is still a big head-scratcher

I tried to watch Season 1 Episode 1 "The National Anthem".

I didn't finish it. I knew what was coming and didn't want to see that.

I will try to watch some of the other episodes.

White Bear is impactful because of Youtube, Something Awful, World Star Hip Hop and the plethora of sites with communities dedicated to this kind of stuff. Even if punishment was deserved, that was a whole other level.

Na, I loved White Christmas, probably in a tie with White Bear, or right behind.

My favorites are in no order:
Fifteen Million Merits
Entire History of You
White Bear
White Christmas
Nosedive
Hated in the Nation

--San Junipero is a really good episode as well but it was odd to me.

it's been repeated in this thread, but TNA is not really like all the other episodes. It doesn't "feel" like black mirror. Also if you weren't aware, BM isn't one continuing storyline and every episode stands alone with all different characters, stories, settings, etc. I really wish newcomers wouldn't start with Season 1 Episode 1 as natural as that may be, because they definitely aren't going to get the real feel of it.

I would suggest skipping an episode and watch S1E3, Entire History of You. It's considered one fo the best of the series and FEELS like a typical black mirror episode. There's nothing wrong with episode 2 (15 million merits) but you need to wash that bad taste out of your mouth and swing for the fences next.

The "gotcha" moment with the art at the end was as incredible flip. So well done.

I liked that episode, but I feel like everyone likes that she was busted...like it justifies jealousy.


I am not a jealous type and hate that trait in anyone so I hated seeing his jealousy justified.



that's because it's rare. very seldom do people who act that way get the satisfaction that they were right all along. sometimes they were right, but never get to know that they were.

i just got out of a relationship like that not long ago, and it all came to a close in a very similar way this episode did.

i used to revert back to memories when my ex and i were together, and there were times where she acted "different" when another guy was around. i confronted her about it from time to time, but a majority of the time, i let it mess with my head.

little did i know, it actually all happened, and now i don't want to have anything to do with her.

Out of curiosity what did you find odd about San Junipero?

It was one of my favorites.

Just finished San Junipero - I don't think it felt forced at all.

Hell, I thought it was beautiful. Definitely my favorite episode thus far.

*Disclaimer: I somehow accidentally started watching this show on season 3. I'm going to backtrack after I finish this season.

Just finished San Juniper.

That was fricking awesome.

They absolutely nailed the era.

I can't decide for myself if I would want in or not if I had a choice. That was one of my favorite's so far.

Just finished this one last night.

Blew my mind.

So well done.

This is the best show on TV/streaming currently.

San Juniper is still the best to me currently.

I watched the whole season start to finish, only liked one episode. Don't feel any compulsion to explain the reasons I was not impressed.
