Black Mirror

I just started watching this. 

It's some weird, weird stuff.  Not sure what to make of it actually. 

When the first episode centers on the British Prime Minister and some porcine poking... well....

I'm sure it has something larger to say, but I'm not entirely sure what it is.  Episode 2 features the main dude from Get Out. 

Just curious if anybody else watches it or where it goes from here.

I've only seen the first two episodes.  The first episode had some WTF moments for sure.  I am going to keep watching.  I am curious what others think as well.

I first heard about this series when season one came out in 2011. I gave the first episode a shot and was kind of "meh," and stopped watching.

Then when the second season came out I gave it a second try and am glad I did.

It's a very good show and I highly recommend it.

Damn it, I saw the thread title and thought K clearly put this in the wrong forum.

Agree with chad.

Was meh at first. Watched all of the first two seasons and was pleasantly surprised. The riddles or mysteries to each episode are somewhat hard to figure out until the very end. I like that.

The Xmas episodes (or wintry cabin...and maybe I'm misremembering the holiday theme) with Jon Hamm were some of my favorites.

It was one extra long episode. And yeah, it was good.

Wes be like "who?"

I'm watching it around other stuff and while I'm 'working.' 

Midway through the third season.  Seems to have lost its voice and become sort of repetitive. 

I do like the people I see in the various episodes.  Haley Atwell looked better than I realized but her story left me lacking a little bit. 

The Christmas one was a little contrived to me. Too much duplicity going on.  I actually enjoyed the White Bear episode more.

That episode blew me away.  I had no clue up until the very end.  Very good episode.  I enjoyed the Xmas one.  Be Right Back jumped the shark for me.  Nose Dive was Meh.   I thought the Waldo episode was decent.  It's not the best show ever, but it's keeping me entertained.

Are you not entertained?

Interesting to note that the Waldo episode was released over five years ago. Way before the Trump phenomenon.

Like there is any correlation. 

That's like saying it's interesting to note Gilligan's Island was released way before the Obama phenomenon.

You don't remember the episode where the Professor invented a time travel machine through that salvaged transistor radio and they listened to Obama's SOTU address?  Of course, Gilligan tripped and fell into a coconut tree, causing several to fall and hit the radio, knocking out the key component.  Then Skipper went, "DOH"!!

It was a classic.

No correlation? The TV personality who people elected as a "fuck you" to the establishment and pomposity of the system? Ok.

You really don't understand what happened in 2016 at all do you?

The concept has been around a while. Even something like V for vendetta or atlas shrugged.
