I cannot remember the name of it but one episode that often plays on my mind is that one where the (presuMbly) paedophile basically has to live the same day over and over being chased. Something like that is so clever as it is far away from something you could imagine happening, yet at the same time something some people would want. The ethics of it ate what makes it amazing

Just watching San Junipero. 20 minutes in and nothing has happened yet, is it worth continuing?! Others had my attention by now!
Most overrated episode of BM ever but you might as well finish it.

Finally finished this series (super late, I know).
Demon 79 was ok but didn’t feel very Black Mirror to me. Anyone notice the lead star’s surname was Huq? Wondered if that was a sweet homage to Konnie Huq, Charlie Brooker’s wife.

I’ve not seen the final two but liked beyond the sea. I remember really liked black museum as well, but my favourite is probably hang the dj. I love the concept of it, and I think it’s brilliantly cast too.
I expected Josh Hartnetts character to do something to trap Aaron Paul outside the aircraft at reactor four, then use his tag to go back ‘down’, knowing that his wife basically would have no choice but to go along with it, as she knew they shouldn’t have swapped tags

Didn’t notice about the surname, that’s interesting, I guess it was done purposely.
I posted this upthread re: demon 79

Someone commented "the black mirror episode we deserved".

Seems to fit the old school vibe:

Feel like I've found my people on this website.

I LOVE Black Mirror almost to the point of obsession. The only episode I haven't watched is "Be Right Back", due to the subject matter I would probably find it really upsetting.

I was pleasantly surprised at the latest Season, maybe because we've all been waiting years for it.

My favourite keeps changing from Loch Henry, Demon79 and Joan is Awful.
Actually, that's probably a lie. I liked them all, the only one I wasn't keen on was Mazy Day.

Got to say, feeling a bit smug at all the reviews online and in print and comments about how Joan is Awful was unrealistic and OTT and yet a month after its release the entirety of Hollywood has shut down and striking for the main reason as to what the plot was about.

I thought Joan is Awful was the only decent episode in the most recent series.

Yeh it was the only one that had the similar predicting the future type theme that black mirror has done so well

I wasn’t that struck on it the first time I watched it but I’ve loved it more with every rewatch. I’m intrigued to see what they’d do with a sequel thinking characters will they follow?

I agree, I wasn't that keen on Callister the first time I watched it, but it kind of grew on me. Still isn't up there as one of my favourite five, but I'd be interested in what they do with it in the next season.
 
I didn't like USS Callister because the 'goodies' won over at the end. I think Black Mirror has lost most of its bleakness. I preferred those endings like The National Anthem, The Entire History Of You, White Bear, Shut Up and Dance, White Christmas, Playtest etc.
