Black Mirror continues!

[magicana]

I've just been told the series has been bought by Netflix and that season 3 is coming out next October 21st! I'm now watching the Christmas Special on Black Mirror online

I'm really happy this show continues, it's one of the few series i really liked.

The ending of the xmas special is terrifying.

"White Rabbit" is one of the most terrifying hours of TV ever.

[Dr.ciski77]

Yes, yes it is.

I'd definitely rate Nosedive in the middle of what I've seen. Interesting.

Don’t talk shit about Metalhead. That episode is fantastic.

There are a clear bottom three for me: The Waldo Effect; Fifteen Million Merits; and Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too.

And to echo the earlier comments, White Bear is probably my favorite.

I ranked them all elsewhere. 'Crocodile' isn't my fave but it is the one I think about the most.

Okay, ranking time

Haven't seen: USS Callister, Hated in the Nation, Black Museum, Bandersnatch, RJaA Too, Arkangel

01. San Junipero
02. The Entire History of You
03. Hang the DJ
04. Be Right Back
05. Metalhead
06. White Bear
07. The National Anthem
08. Nosedive
09. Shut Up and Dance
10. Playtest
11. Smithereens
12. Striking Vipers
13. White Christmas
14. Men Against Fire
15. Crocodile
16. Fifteen Million Merits
17. The Waldo Moment

a) The recontextualizing twist to "White Bear" took a machete to my brain and I was already a simpering mess beforehand.

b) I think the show's at it's strongest, apparently, when it specifically meditates on how technology mediates romantic relationships. I didn't realize that before ranking the list.

c) I'm not sure I think the show is vying for all time status, to be honest.
