You feel guilty for something m8?

me fucking too. Damn.

Ep 1 was boring
Ep 2 was great
Ep 3 was dissapointing
Ep 4 watching it right now

Literally just browsing Sup Forums is enough for OP to feel guilty

Agree with ep 1, not with ep 3. Probably second best. Ep 4 was my personal fave tho.

Ep 2 is great but I cant stand the dude

I just understood why she didnt want to play to that racing videogame in ep4

He's Kurt Russell's son

Only watched the first 3 episodes

1 > 3 > 2

I really liked episode 1 for some reason. Lot of feels

what did they mean by this?

explains the credit as an orphan boy in Escape from La when I just looked him up because I recognised him. Realised its him from Everybody Wants Some

>no follow up text saying "you have been bamboozled!"

Weak

They made the twist way too obvious in the third episode. I knew he was a pedo once he gave the toy to the little girl. He got what he deserved in the end. Based troll.

>I knew he was a pedo once he gave the toy to the little girl.

Only because thats what your mind goes to because you frequent this website, normies wouldnt make that connection so easily.

I figured out the twist to the first three beforehand. Others were weird surprising.

Nah it was really heavy-handed . White bear did a much better job with its twist. Chris Hansen needs to do something similar on his show.

wtf I hate webcams now

>mfw I've had tape over my webcam since the day I got it 2 years ago

My friend keeps arguing that le ebin anonymous hackers were morally in the right.Point completely went over his head.

Ken boy didn't deserve that

Dont expect a normie to actually think about this one

I thought they were going to go with the angle of the bully cooks seeing it and calling him a paedo and then that taking off as a thing then spiralling out of control somehow. I never guessed he was a paedo since he looks like he's about 12 anyway.

If I was the dude pulling the strings I would have at least let Kenny off at the end. Nigga robbed a bank and killed a guy

As you should

...

Well if Hillary's bitch boy even confirms it I better go buy some tape

>He just Googles Remove Malware and takes the first result

Deserved it

EP 1 was just heavy satire. Good, but not great.
EP 2 broke my heart.
EP 3 was very good and sad.
EP 4 was initially odd, but I like how it concluded. Bittersweet.

Haven't watched EP5 and on yet.

Apart from the fact that I personally really liked EP 1, I agree wholeheartedly with your list.

I thought this would be enough

3 > 6 > 5 > 1 = 4 > 2

If you don't agree with this you have an objectively shit taste.

>suddenly Danish in ep 5
Huh

Agree on everything apart from Ep 2. The ending was quite sad and there were some good concepts, but I just didn't feel like they were executed all that well. Plus, the actor wasn't great.

>not disabling at bios

The end of episode 3 + Radiohead's Exit Music song destroyed me emotionally.

>not smashing your webcam as soon as it comes out of the box

>not soldering the wires

>not just using your laptop at awkward angles so you're never in view of the camera

God, that kid is an excellent actor.

Wait, was he actually a paedo? I was confused by the ending and thought the phone guys just framed him. The whole filming him thing was a weird angle if he was actually a paedo. You'd just need browser history, like they had for the others...

>Plus, the actor wasn't great.

what

He is, the viewer understands it when he meets the other paedo with who he have to fight

Odd, I completely disagree. 3>5>2=4>1 - haven't seen 6 yet.

Episode 1 was fucking terrible for me.

It was played very strangely though. The main character didn't really talk much throughout the episode so when he was silent when he met the paedo he had to fight I didn't really take it as "oh, he's a paedo too".

1: Great
2: Great
3: Good
4: Good
5. Meh
6. Good

>Everyone in this thread hating 1

It was classic Black Mirror

It didnt give it away when the pedo he had to fight was saying "How young were they?" and Kenny started to burst into treats?

6>3>5>4>2>1

FACT

>classic Black Mirror
utter shit then

God back to Plebit

It almost was. But the whole truck driver thing was so heavy-handed and stupid. The critique of potential avenues for social media to take was obvious. The way they went about presenting it was really stupid.

I feel like Black Mirror was good at exploring extrapolations of current technologies or social trends and leaving the viewer to draw their conclusions of it. Ep 1 was spoon-feeding stuff.

I have no doubt plebbit eats this programme up on toast

yeah and he was also crying throughout all the fucking episode. All I got from that was him going "oh shit I'm dealing with actually human scum here, a literal paedo, and I have to fight him". He was wetting himself and bealing through the whole thing.

You're not me, but you're a pretty chill dude.

Ugh, just go watch Stranger Things like all the other normies if you're not going to contribute to the thread.

Episode 1 was too in your fucking face, plus the american actors are shit

Episode 2 was good but really didn't have any sort of message, apart from call your mum maybe?

Episode 3 was pretty good, everything was top notch apart from le trollface.jpg.

Episode 4 was boring as fuck, literally the worst episode of the entire show

Episode 5 has a solid message but the execution was weak. Still a top tier episode though

Episode 6 was great, maybe went a bit too long though. I expected a twist at the end where Blue was working with the guy but it didn't came.

Overall, solid season. Better than 2 but worse than 1

Out of the first 3, one I really hated desu and 3 was clearly the best

>ywn know this feeling

The actor wasn't bad, he nailed going from confident happy naive guy to mental breakdown

Seconding this. Super impressed with the actor. Bronn was good too.

Feels like Black Mirror s1 & s2 were (just below) Rod Serling Twilight Zone whereas s3 is like Outer Limits.

You all know what I mean. It's not a bad thing, especially if they churn heaps out. It's like interesting ideas with poorer execution.

I liked the American guy but as a northerner the "slight American twang" posh Londoner was as annoying as they are in real life.

Episode 2 strikes me as the strongest thus far owing to its nailing multiple themes in one. The fear of oblivion; the obvious impulse in youth to escape; staying true to BM's perpetual cynicism regarding our over-reliance upon technology (this going, already in a state of not confronting his true fears, finding a way to metaphorically escape further through VR); themes of family and isolation. I thought it was a home-run.

As for the actor, I thought he nailed it. His character is a caricature of many young American men. As I mentioned in another thread, I know at least five guys who perfectly fit his mold. The almost snide, cocky over-talkative dude who, when forced to confront what's bothering him, quickly breaks the fuck down. Not to the sever eye-rolling babbling degree, but in that same whimpering way. The actor pulled that guy off perfectly.

Episode 1 was so bad it's not even funny

Episode 4 was amazing. Similar pacing and reveals to 15 Million Merits, and it was nice to see a semi-optimistic finish. Although the building with all of the dead people USBs was a little unsettling. Personally, Ep 5's ending was a little strange to me. It didn't resonate well.

I remember reading that in England, citizens can guess where others are from based on their accents. I found that really interesting. That it was mentioned briefly in EP 3 when they were driving the woman home reminded me of it. Kind of cool.

I live in Ohio, but when I first moved here from Michigan, everybody seemed to know because of my "Michigan accent." Apparently I had elongated a's. I guess I don't have it anymore.

I think the ending is he got all the memories wiped out but some part of him still knows none of is real?

I dunno it was weird to me too when he cried

>like they had for the others
They had pictures Bronn sent to 'Mindy' and they had the e-mails of the CEO lady. Not sure what they had on black guy. Either way browser history is fallible evidence, just destroy and get rid of the computer and play dumb.

We don't need another shitty thread about this shitty reddit show on this board.

Why didn't the people in episode 3 just go to the police?

I mean the pedos I can kinda understand but Bronn and the other lady should have just gone to the police

I'm going to post this once again: episode 1 was about reddit: every honest unpleasent post gets downvoted to hell and every sweet little lies get leddit gold and thousand of upvotes.

Yeah, I couldn't tell whether he was wiped completely or not. Plus was he just honorably discharged and sent to an abandon home to live in a fake world to avoid any PTSD? I don't know, I would've preferred a more bleak ending to that one, but the whole "EUGENICS" thing at the end lead me to believe we were going darker. Ah well, it was fun anyways.

His mom on the phone at the end confirmed he had CP on his harddrive. I couldn't quite make out what she said afterwards though.

I think it's hilarious that racist emails puts that CEO in the same league as pedophiles, according to Brits.

Yeah, man, you can do it down to very short distances. There are probably like 10 different accents for London alone and while I can tell the differences I don't know which ones for which area. I live in the South West at the moment and their accent is very different from where I went to uni (Yorkshire), which itself is very different from where I grew up (Cumbria).

> Hide thread

:^)

Yeah I got that, I just thought he was framed cause spunking on camera isn't actually that big a deal in the grand scheme of things and they wanted to ruin his life properly.

Put a trip on so I can filter you too, you fucking tourist.

How many BLACKED scenes are in the new season?

>Although the building with all of the dead people USBs was a little unsettling
How is it any different than a cemetery? Also, what would be the crime for pulling the plug on that whole building?

Anywhere I can watch this series that isn't Netflix...?

In America she'd be a presidential candidate!

And episode 6 was le Sup Forums army getting bee'd.
Also Reddit is completely anonymous. Episode 1 was more like Facebook. Or this new app: techcrunch.com/2016/03/08/controversial-people-rating-app-peeple-goes-live-has-a-plan-to-profit-from-users-negative-reviews/

No chance

Nah it got too heavy-handed at the end. It spent most of the episode articulately unravelling this sequence to make a solid point, then it had a mysterious old lady just state the point outright before going lolrandum trekkies, then the protag goes on to state the point again, then they do the exact same thing they've already done twice to finish.

The idea was solid and it was mostly good but it shat itself towards the end.

They didn't. The consequences differed depending on how terrible the perpetuated act was. Bronn never had to fight another man to death bc that was reserved for the pedophiles. The CEO just lost her job.

>After waiting since 2014 for Black Mirror to come back with a bang... we have nearly a whistle! Charlie Brooker & William Bridges are the most over- paid & lamest writers to ever put pen to pad.

>Action with no direction, speech with no dialogue, idea with no plot... an hour is too long to tell a story with charters no one cares about.


spot on 2bh

The whole season is in your face BLACKED.

It's a brilliant season nonetheless.

Yeah, kind of true. Except a cemetery lacks a bunch of cognitive activity. I kept thinking they were gonna end the episode with a electrical fire or a power outage during the credits, so I guess it could've been worse.

I would disagree. As an aside, no one knows what/who you're referencing.

Would you stay in San Junipero forever?

I really like episode 4. The slow reveal seems to bother everyone here, but it was nice. The first half of the episode you had tiny things people say that didn't quite make sense. It was neat knowing that something was going on but you just weren't sure what yet.

Are you an idiot? Have you never heard of regional accents?

Because we r leejun would have leaked everything.

it's an imdb review on the series in general.

charlie brooker isn't a writer btw. at least he can't write drama. he doesn't know how to tell a story. he has ideas and lays it piece by piece in the most contrived manner to get the idea out and they're nearly always the most rudimentary ideas about technology as well not throughly explored. very simplistic ideas and poorly written drama

No. Yes. I will gladly answer more rhetorical questions to feed your need for attention.

>having snake plisskin as a dad

That must be awesome!

Even Zuckerberg has his shit taped.
