NEW Black Mirror series...

[Butter Face]

I loved USS Callister!

And the last 3. Yes, I've binged the lot in a day

Hang the DJ. If Tinder told you how long you'd be together on the first date. A lighter one, a few funny parts like being stuck with someone for a year. The Black Mirror was a bit tacked on at the end with the matrix stuff. Have I understood this right as the whole timed dates and matrix thing being digital copies of the people inside the app? So the real people with the app on their phones can find their match first time?

Metalhead. Liked this one a lot. The dogs were a cross between Boston Dynamics bots and the Houndeye dogs from Half Life. The grainy black and white looked great, and the lack of backstory helped it.

Black Museum. Some of the stories in this could have been full blown episodes. A few references to previous Black Mirrors, especially White Bear. I liked the ending, and I'll hold my hand up and day I didn't see it coming

Is it series 5 yet?

Also see where he gets the inspiration for the writing from.

Who were the cameos?

Enjoyed that pretty entertaining short story.

Okay so I've watched all of them already. I love the way they take consciousness in various guises throughout all the series.

All the episodes were brilliant. Crocodile and Black Museum my favourites. I felt that Hang The DJ had two actors with great chemistry, which also took it up a level.

Great series, I'm hoping now they've seen it works, the next season will be longer and not so far off!

One of my all time favourites for how on the nose it is!

Just watched Callister, superb, actually felt a little down with 20 minutes to go when I remembered this is Black Mirror so their plan would probably go wrong, so pleased that the outcome was a good one.

Crocodile, this series' Shut Up and Dance, thoroughly dark and nasty. Didn't think it get could any worse but it just kept going and going. Loved the Icelandic setting though.

ArkAngel, really interesting concept but was a little bit meh about the execution of it. Reminded me a bit of the Nosedive social media one from last series with Bryce Dallas Howard.

3 to go!

A few 'easter egg' bits have been spotted, basically trolling the people who find them http://www.radiotimes.com/news/on-demand/2018-01-0...

Hang the DJ is superb, a nice double bill with Crocodile to lift you out of the pit of despair that'll put you in!

As much as Black Mirror is known for the dark, bleak stories they've done the uplifting love stories fantastically well.

Linked from that found this

Carl Pilkington predicted a couple of the stories 10 years ago

Callister was my favourite, I was kind of hoping they didn't make it.

The regional accents get a bit annoying especially as they always seem so incongruous to the scene or setting.

[Butter Face]

Watched them all but slightly out of sequence (picked Arkangel and Crocodile to watch with my wife as they’re her type of thing)

Enjoyed them all, all with their own little twists and ‘fk you’ moments as they mess with you!

Enjoyed black museum for the little story-in-story bits.

[Beefmeister]

Just finished it, bloody brilliant series.

Love the way this has repeated throughout the whole thing...

I think Philip K Dick would have loved Black Mirror - or hated it for ripping off his ideas left right and centre. Cracking TV.

Have you watched the Electric Dreams series that have been made?

Very entertaining.

When do they appear ?

[Colonial]

Thought this season was the weekest. A bit tamed down.

That said Metalhead was brilliant. Very sparse and beautifully shot.

[HorneyMX5]

Binged the whole of S4 yesterday. Brilliant TV.

I’m still on season 1, I keep downloading it on my iPad when I go away but then end up watching other stuff, struggling to get into it TBH.
