Men against fire gave me Jungle fever

Ive downloaded 2 gigs of interracial POV porn since that episode

how can a television program have feelings?

>well written and directed
I've just watched that video game one, what a fucking mess.

The same way a post on Sup Forums can come off as smarmy or, in your case, stupid.

What about it didn't you like?

The prime minister/pig episode is the only good one. Upvote if you agree.

80% of this show is
>Technology is bad mmmmkay?

it is literally the most pretentious pseudo-intellectual garbage, no wonder it ended up on normieflix

It's not about the technology being bad. It's about how human are flawed and the things we create to make our lives easier can backfire on us and make it more difficult.

>smug

Decided not to go w/ the ol plebeian standbys 'cringe' or 'pretentious,' or 'tryhard' huh? Changing it up a bit, good for you.

I don't want to spoiler it for the other anons but
it was a dream all along
jap wunderkind can't even speak english
cellphones can interfere with ultraprogressive technology directly communicating with your brain also they already killed off five other people and have more than lax lab conditions

>pretentious pseudo-intellectual garbage
the cool way to sound like you're saying something when you're actually saying nothing at all

I really like the show but I respect your opinion!

Video game episode is the worst episode show has ever done. Nothing even gets solved, there's no point.

San Junipero was pretty great tho 2bh

The one with this blue cartoon shithead was awful too
>okay I've lost control of this caricature and people are kicking my teeth in

fpbp

I hated initially but it's grown on me since the US literally elected a meme to the presidency.

IMO:

First series ("season" if you live in alabama and using different words triggers you)
-First Episode: 9/10
completely hooked, well paced and great tone balance between "realism" and fun fiction.
-Second Episode: 5/10
looks awful so much that it took me out of the story both times i watched it, looks like they used the budget terribly and in a dumb way but the acting is good and even if it's heavy handed it kinda works.
-Third Episode: 7/10
Great all around, acting is weaker than the rest but is overall really good. the concept and execution felt really movie-like to me (not entirely in a good way) and made sense that it was the one episode with the rights sold to make a hollywood flick based on it.

Second series
-First Episode: 8/10
Just like the third but better, with a kind of "bigger" concept, better acting and overall a more satisfying and solid script
-Second Episode: 7/10
Annoying direction, camera work and such. that plus a REALLY filmstudent kind ending almost ruined the thing but it's really cool still and a great watch (for moments it was like the zombie tv show i always wanted but weirder)
-Third Episode: 3/10
Wasn't boring I guess but that's all I could praise it for... the acting didn't suck. hard to make the point for it not being the weakest of the entire show.

Christmas Special: 9/10
I prefer the first episode but even so I think the christmas special with Hamm is objectively the best thing to come from the show. Not perfect but being so "long" and having so many different things that could feel like it's own thing, it's almost the best it could have been. it's fucking great.

the show is "dumb" like 60% of the time but it's well made and it makes an effort, you are dumber than the show if you pass on it for not catering to your autism. eager to watch the third series (season now that it's americanized and has like a jillion episodes) but also prepared for it being a little bit redditier.

I usually like the show... but i can't get past the first episode of the third season. The one about social media. It's too fucking boring...

I haven't seen every episode yet but many scenes and entire premises have been pretty dumb
>you are a slave on a treadmill, treading to produce energy for everyone, ignore that you waste more energy on the treadmill than you could ever produce
>despite the episode set in 2015 and no country on earth having legislation for it, people can vote for fictional characters
>private corporations are allowed to make an exact copy of your mind to manage your household. Why? Don't even ask.
>people will hate you if you don't fuck a pig on national television
>so your ex-girlfriend blocks you out for whatever reason. You try talking to her and end up in jail with a restraining order. Years later you find out what could've been resolved in 10 minutes. You kill the faggot of a father which again could've just talked to you. Instead of being able to force a conversation between the parties the government much rather fucks you over for getting the short end of the stick of technology
>the world revolves around some big popularity game and instead of saying fuck it, people are repressing themselves for nothing

>can't get past

then just fucking skip it, every episode is independent

In relation to point number 2, people vote for foctional candidates all the time. It's called a spoiled vote because it can't be honoured in real life. The cartoon was never a real candidate.

Charlie Brooker is basically just a writhing mass of smug liberalism.

They counted all his votes and even mentioned them at the election. Waldo was invited to a political discussion and had a feud with the Tory candidate. It was retarded because voting for a joke party is one thing but voting for a joke another. And don't get me started on the ending. Do you really think nobody else was smart enough to start something similar with even better banter? As if Waldo itself was actually so funny.

I have always said the show gave me a real smarmy, sneering vibe. Like the writer is giving themselves a massive pat on the back at their 'amazingly dark twisted show'.

It's just Garth Merenghi with a big budget.

This

San Junipero and the Christmas episodes are great. The rest is redundant garbage

because a/the other puppet would be better? so you all coould meme "THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT" liek did with the nigger? "MUH FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT"

>saying something when you're actually saying nothing at all
fits for the show

>jap wunderkind can't even speak english

Kojima?

I didn't much care for the short story format of the episodes.

even the short format is too long for most of the stories

The 2nd episode is straight up "evil companies exploit us and technology helps them".
They could've cut their badly written scifi ideas and the show would still be exactly the same, probably even better.

But dem tits tho

Came here expecting to see this, I'm actually a big fan of the show in general but Hayley Atwell's rack was still a high point for me

oy vey

Playtest fucked me up senpai

Why do conservatives feel dumb when they're told the truth?

Whats smug about it

Dropped this how after giving it a second shot with first episode of season 3. It's just too drawn out and heavy-handed.

>It also makes good social commentary and takes data from the now to predict the future
DUDE TECHNOLOGY LMAO

There is some excellent criticism on the show here. Really makes you think.

I feel the same way. Liked the whole show, but Hayley Atwell's sad-but-still-incredibly-hot sex scene was definitely a highlight.
