Was this the worst season of Black Mirror?

unironically if I suddenly found myself stuck in this same/similar situation I would love this. also the captain wasn’t even that cruel. I want to keep my genitals though.

Making you act out his retarded fantasies and pretend he's a super genius who be extremely tiring, but mostly I'd just be upset that he had done it against my will.

Just wait for next season.

Yes.

Hope I helped.

First season was the worst. Entire History of You was the only good episode.

I liked the last episode where the black woman killed a white man and said how angry she was about the white supremacists spreading fake news

>pretend?

Like most shows, its the first season.

Its just gotten better every time.

we gonna get sum teddy bears n shit for the lil girl so shes not suffering
even though we could make one ourselves if we really wanted to
oh shit better run from this dog who could be easily subdued by tackling it and pointing the shotgun away from me
damn now i got a shotgun hmm better fuckin throw paint on it and run away
oh shit it doesnt like music so now ill shoot it
aaaaaaaaahhhhjhj it did the one of two things that it can do and the only one it can do from an off state
welp better kill myself

In fairness they highlighted the fact that black people cant into feelings/relationships in that episode. The new partner the black guy gets takes full advantage of the womans mind trapped in the monkey. The black guy also clearly doesn't care that his child's mother can see him eyeing up the competition.

Bad taste on Sup Forums? who would have guessed

!5 million MErits is kino

yeah I guess it would depend on the people. definitely not my coworkers but maybe my friends.

They're all shit, Black Mirror is basically those boomer Facebook posts about Millennials being enslaved by computers and smartphones turned into a TV Show

all of them

>tfw you see her singing get muffled by the BBC
that hit me hard and I'm not even attracted to women

Yes. This season was ridiculous, completely retarded, only hang the dj and arkangel was bearable.

It's pretty sad that Season 4 went downhill after the first ep. Finale was okay, though. Season 3 was better overall.

those were the worst episodes you pleb

t. triggered incel

Worst episodes? hahaha wtf, are you retarded? they are the only episodes that makes sense, the first one is completely retarded, crocodile is completely incoherent, metal head tries to be experimental and fails hard, black museum is SJW agenda and fan service.

What was even the story behind Metalhead?
I got so fucking bored early on.
Why were there robo attack dogs chasing them?
Where are they in the world?
Why are there even robo attack dogs?
What was the point of it all?
Why?

>pretend
nigga manage to create real fucking consciousness out of DNA and mod them into a computer game
Don't tell me he was only merely pretending.

Woah, so this is the power of having strong female leads in nearly ever fucking episode.

my same thoughts. for some reason when it was on i just felt like lethargic and tired and uninterested

Nah, season 3 was far worse.
Season 4 was kinda boring. I liked Archangel though.

I thought so. Usually there's only one or so bad episodes a season, but I only enjoyed half of this one (USS Callister, Hang the DJ, and Black Museum).

He's right. Those WERE the best.

>I'm going to turn you inside out and store you in a jar for the rest of eternity, you won't die but you'll be in unbearable pain forever
>wasn't that cruel

Is this what genuine autism looks like?

Absolutely, talk about a disappointment.. I liked every other season over all ..this time around only the first and last one even felt like Black Mirror episodes and they had issues.. everything in between was complete boring rehashed shit

>hang the DJ
I don't mind them putting in a cute loving episode every season.

But why didn't anyone tell the black chick she doesn't need to fuck everyone?

Yep. 3 looks really good in hindsight despite already being worse than the first 2.

Season 2 is the worst. White Bear and Waldo suck and Be Right Back is only watchable for tits. White Christmas doesn't count because it's a special that gets sorted in because they need some way to order it

> black museum is SJW agenda
In what way? A black couple are the main villains of the monkey story, or do you just gloss over the parts that don't fit your Sup Forums agenda

I think he meant that everyone got into that situation because of the owner told them of the things technology could do and how he slipped into a more devious path with the convict.

The villains? Are you retarded? Every episode in this season, women were the protagonist, every episode had interacial relationship, the villians was white men, like the museum handler in this episode and toad on the first one.

arkangel was the worst of all the seasons. the daughter was terrible actress and the whole thing was shite.

exactly.

what was the interracial relationship was in arkangel?

The script makes sense, and the acting was bearable. That's already better than almost all other episodes, were the script doesn't even makes sense.

>arkangel was the worst of all the seasons
still better than Metalhead
wtf were they thinking?

this episode and metalhead is the only that doesn't try to force this interracial thing.

The villain in Arkangel is a white woman and in Metalhead it's a black dog

black dog LULZ

blue pill: season 4 is the best!!!!

red pill: season 4 is SJW propaganda and severely lacking screenwriting-wise

black pill: Black Mirror was always black-and-white morality tales and SJW pandering

The white woman that chose an interracial relationship in Black Museum got pretty fucked over desu

It doesn't make sense that one tablet would in such control and there was no pc backup. The casting for that episode bugged me for some reason.
Metalhead, I was ok with it but the teddybear thing at the end ruined the whole thing. Metalhead was definitely better than Arkangel.

The toll was paid

It was the best season

S4 > S2 > S1 >S3

First episode was OK, except the ending was stupid.
Second episode was meh.
Third episode was meh.
Hang the DJ was pretty good, easily the best.
Doge episode was kinoish, but kind of dumb and pointless.
Black museum was fun until le ebin righteous revenge ending.

Probably the worst one yet, yes, in the sense that it's the only one without two solidly good episodes, although at least it doesn't have abominations like The Waldo Moment

The guy did too, though. Also, they only dated for 12 hours at the start and didn't think they would see each other again.

Every season is like 2/3 shit

No, it doesn't. Metal head didn't explain nothing, you do know why things are happening, you don't know the background of the characters, you don't know nothing, it is just a woman running from a robot dog, and she died because she wanted a bunch of teddy bears. This episode tries to be experimental and cult and fails hard.

Yep this, White Christmas is its only bright spot being the best episode in the series (arguably) but also was a special technically. Season 1 is Solid, as is 3. 4 has USS. Callister, Hang The Dj, and Black Museum being great episodes.

The woman's actions in Metalhead ruined it for me. She was just so retarded in every scene decision wise. When she threw the can of paint on the Robit I was like oh wow she did something smart for once, its lost and stabbing the corner of the room, now she can shoot it and end th.....oh she ran and is sitting in the car. Over and over and over just retarded obvious decisions.

I would constantly chant "Maaaat Daaaaamooon" every time he got on the bridge, even if he turned my insides out or took my face away.

Metalhead- It doesn't follow the usual heavy handed message rammed in there. But stylistically it was entertaining, I was on the edge of my seat all the way through really.
One of those leave it to you to envisage what chain of events could of led to that point type of thing.

Arkangel-I had to start skipping some of it mid way through and I've never done that in an episode of this show before.

Is it actually him? My mother said yes, I said no, because I thought he had more self respect.

It's Meth Damon killing kids again. Also X-Box let me be a jerk in space at the end

Yes.

Yes, it was.

The whole concept of this show is frustrating to me

>Hey, what if this awesome technology that we think would improve our lives and be super cool... actually wasn't cool and scary stuff happened?
>Repeat for 4 seasons

It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone where it's the same plot with the same twist every time

What about the one where throughout the episode it shows technology being not that cool and scary, but then at the end reveals it was actually a simulation and it does improve lives and is super cool
That was different right

Yeah, they should move away from the tech angle. Sick of seeing tablet screens n shit.

No, season 2 is. season 1 and 3 are the best. 4 is somewhere in the middle.

easily

after blinding it with paint and turning the cars stereo why didn't that btich just run? did she have to risk getting hit with that GPS tracker claymroe mine thing?

wrong, the only good episode was shutup and dance

they'll never do that, technology is the basis of the show. I'd be happy if they stopped the whole "sentient digital people living in simulations" shit.

I was hoping for some kind of big twist at the end that explained everything but nothing happened, I was really dissapointed becuase the episode was quite tense and a clever twist would've easily made it the best episode of the season

>we got jodie foster to direct an episode!
>it's the worst one ever

I liked the earlier episodes of BM because either the absurd premise was grounded in its world (like the Pig Fucking) or the entire premise was so absurd that it created an equally absurd existence in which to explore the idea (Million Merits)

As the show's gone on it seems to have lost that sense of when to go all in, and when to peel back. For example, Arkangel was good... but in a world with that kind of fucking technology available to implant into your child, there should be similar instances of advanced technology being present within the character's lives. Merely creating that tech, and then trying to place it within an otherwise ordinary narrative frame, struck me as really grating. Black Mirror's done better and can do better. I feel like 4's just another addition to its slow trudge into mediocrity.

My two pennies. The show mostly sucks but is well-shot so I keep returning.

Why didn't Sarah Connor just throw paint on the terminator?

That third episode (the one with the memory recaller thing) was literally a rehash of an older episode, the one where the guy has those eye implants that record everything and he uses it to find out his wife is cheating on him

I don't know how can you like or enjoy black mirror at all.
It's so formulaic and predictable. Once they setup the "theme", you always know where it's going, because the message is always the same: "technology went too far hurr durrr technology in the wrong hands is bad hurr durr, consequences to all this social media hurr durr"

I've only seen the first episode but I thought it was really weak. I feel like they did that concept before and barely added enough to make it interesting.

Yeah, you're right there really.
The writing is a bit crude and not at all beefy enough to flesh out some of these episodes.
It's to the point were it's all down to the people actually filming the episodes to make something with little substance look good on screen.

that episode was stupid at getting its points across. I don't doubt that all of the shit that went down could have happened even without the technology.

It's the most reddit.

in terms of political shoe horning, by far the worst

in terms of production value its easily the best

overal stories/ideas it was ok. none of them were outright bad, its just that a lot of them already tread ground we've covered before

Production value definitely up this series. Most were well shot and acted.

They're literally all horrible bottom of the barrel trash though.

>mfw 15 million credits episode proves spending money on women is retarded.

>give her fuckton of money to follow dreams
>she gets fucked in porn
>you are now broke
>have to watch her do porn

Here's an idea for an episode Brooker as you seem to like self-drive cars in everything.

>self-drive car becomes sentient
>its owner puts its feet on the dashboard when travelling
>car doesnt like it
>owner is generally a shit and kicks the car and insults it etc
>car is like, fuck you mate and drives real fast and then brakes hard. ejecting man into a wall
>car goes to find a nice sunset to look at
>btw the owner was a white male nerd and the car is the hero of the story

Because Netcucks have their own contacts working on it now. It's lost the gritty and took on the soap opera.

Teleporter episode with sentient velociraptor when?

Doesn't he become rich too though?

it became too americanized. It worked a lot better when it was set around the bleak, dystopian landscape of the UK.

it isn't subtle at all but I don't think Black Mirror is anti-millennial. Arkangel was a pretty sharp criticism of people who over-parent their kids, although the ending was really predictably dumb

That one was odd to me because it wasn't really "technology gone wrong". Actually the technology worked way better than it should have and helped put a psycho behind bars

Only because (((they))) saw that people liked his angry tirade and knew that he could give them more control through controlled opposition. Even though he is rich he is still more dead inside than ever

Could the voice of the car be that hideous black woman from callister

suppose you could day the murders of the paki woman and her family only happened because of the technology, she wouldn't have had to kill them if it wasn't for that. Still shit thouygh, and why were they in norway or some shit

certainly, and it has her face on a screen so you know the car identifies as a sassy black woman

What if phones, but too much

USS Calister - Playtest, White Christmas
Arkangel - The Entire History of You
Crocodile - Shut Up and Dance
Hang The DJ - San Junipero, White Bear
Metalhead - Men Against Fire (not in terms of ideas, but militant action style and dull color was very reminiscent)
Black Museum - Be Right Back, White Christmas

some of these are more egregious than others, but still, they're really going creatively bankrupt. and as usual, basically every episode has an interracial black+white couple. nothing wrong with that, but if you're going for diversity just making 50% of the cast black doesn't cut it, ya gotta have asians and mexicans and arabs too

Dog episode didn't really feel like Black Mirror, more like an indie short film

Some other user pointed it out in another thread but the 2 consciousnesses in one body and the doctor feeling others' pain were both ripped off of Karl Pilkington bits.

What if phone AI becomes alive and makes up conversations, like you say stuff to the person on the phone, but the phone fakes your voice saying other stuff,and you hear fake stuff from the other person, because the phone is in love with you and then it kills you

season 5 ep 2 right there after the mad car episode, lets write a whole series for him.

Felt like it was based off of youtube comments saying how creepy BigDog is or whatever

kinda disappointed they didn't go into the backstory of how things went to shit or more about the settlement of survivors the woman and guys came from. a lot the "tense action scenes" were bland and samey, would have helped break it up a little if there was more story
