Black Mirror
Re: Black Mirror
Never heard of it but I'll check it out. I've always liked the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits (the remakes of both series, too).

Re: Black Mirror
I will watch. I've been looking for a new show. I'm almost done with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (is it gay to say that you find that show very funny. Jon Hamm in the show, is amazing).

This sounds pretty bad ass, I'm gonna hit it up this wknd.

Re: Black Mirror
A friend recommended this to me, and I watched the first episode and had the same reaction you did, so I didn't watch any others. Perhaps I'll give it another go.Madnessssss wrote:Great British show on Netflix. It's like a modern twilight zone with an emphasis on future technology.

I'd give it another shot. I dig the following two episodes.

Don't want to invest time in starting a new show if it's garbage. Tell me about an episode without giving any spoilers. Please and thanks.
This show is only 3 episodes per season. Not that big an investment.
So far my least favorite episodes are season 1 episode 1, and season 2 episode 3. Not bad, but every other episode has been excellent imo.
Hard to explain without spoilers, but I'll try not give away anything major:
This is just the first 5 minutes of an episode:
Another episode I liked a lot was set in a future in which most people have implants behind their ears that connect to their eyes and brains and record their whole life. Gives everyone perfect memory. They can always put their memories on any nearby tv to re-watch or show others.Spoiler:
This kind of reminds me of an Outer Limits episode where everyone is connected to the Net, but it's called "The Stream" you can download pretty much anything in an instant. Do pretty much anything but in the end the Stream ends up making people do weird stuff and kill them by overloading their minds.
You know what the worst thing about the end of the day is? Tomorrow, it starts all over again.

Re: Black Mirror
I watched the first episode. I thought it could've gone in a better direction, but it was okay.
