Feb 2, 2017 It's basically a modern day Twilight Zone based around technology. If you f---s with Twilight Zone or Outer Limits, then I definitely recommend it. The show explores the dangers of present day and future tech. My Top 5 episodes: The Entire History of You, White Bear, The Waldo Moment, San Junipero, Hated In The Nation.
Mar 15, 2017 SO GOOD. Well most of them. They have great twists too which I really appreciate. San Junipero was so sweet. My favorite episode. The one with the text messages really got me and the one with the people being hunted in the small town got me too. All of them have a way of f---ing with you head. Brilliant.
Mar 15, 2017 White Christmas and the History of You are hands down my favorites, but every episode is great.
Mar 15, 2017 San Junipero is brilliant. Basically a manufactured heaven through technology. Show is so f---ing good.
Mar 15, 2017 I finished watching the whole thing yesterday and it definitely deserves all superlatives it's getting. Thanks to this show I had nightmares and I haven't really experienced one since high school lol
Mar 15, 2017 I found some eps kinda not that great. especially the one where the Soldiers are brainwahed to k--- immigrants or whatever. (yes i know, should have loved it) But I literally saw the exact story in some s-----y B grade film about 3 yrs ago.
Mar 15, 2017 Sounds like you started with the latest season, which is good, but I feel the series really kicks off with "The Entire History of You" in season one. I liked the first couple episodes, but that one blew me away. Then you have Be Right Back, White Bear and White Christmas in the next few episodes. Such a great stretch.
Mar 15, 2017 Nah I started from season 1 - the end. Though I think i missed white christmas. will probably watch that shortly. the eps I didn't like were -waldo -nosedive -men against fire and i think hated in the nation is cool but extremely overrated. fav's were -shut up and dance -san junipero -entire history of you. The finale hated in the nation, i dunno. i was like "ok" at everything. I dunno what it was, everything about that episode just seemed like too much of a stretch and didn't seem like the rest of the series. The ending just seemed to drop out of nowhere too, like it wasn't really a twist compared to the other eps, just a "lol all dead". Had much more interest in 1 dude hacking singular bee's to k--- people. Feel the same about the waldo ep, not really interesting, some dude just got bullied by his boss. I've literally seen men against fire the movie. Apart from that it's a solid series imo. 'playtest' f----- me up too. i don't know why but that ep really made me feel a sense of dread for some reason.
Mar 15, 2017 Yeah that army episode was really predictable to me. I knew the twist immediately. I turned to my girl like "I bet they have a chip in their brain and it distorts the enemy" I HIGHLY recommend White Christmas. It has Don Draper from Mad Men in it lol.
Mar 15, 2017 100% agree about the hated in the nation episode. At first sight, it had black mirror fingerprints all over it but in fact, the plot could've been a lot of better. It seemed to be a bit too cheap when they lost control over the bees then got it back and eventually lost it again. Plus, the ending was really unsatisfying. It was the worst episode of the series imo.
Mar 15, 2017 I'm still trying to remember the name of the film I watched lol. It was pretty much Men against fire. The only difference I remember was that an explosion caused one of the team's headset to break, the group had to split up for some reason, the guy with broken headset then starts seeing his comrades gunning down innocents, so tries to inform them but everyone's like "fk off lol" till he rips someone's headset off and they see it as well. That's about all I remember. crazy as tho cause it was legit some random 4/10 imdb film i threw on at like 1 am while bored a while back.
Mar 15, 2017 naturally it's a bit hit or miss (Nosedive has a great premise but largely squanders it, for example), but overall really great. San Junipero is f---ing beautiful. Shut Up and Dance hit me pretty hard
