Gotta power through it. Payoff is pretty good and changes how you’re looking at the first half.

It’s a little cheekier than the typical black mirror episode. Not one of the top 5 episodes but pretty compelling
I've got nothing going on this morning so I'll see if I can finish it.

OK. The second half did pick up and I enjoyed it well enough. Also I will now refer to the troublesome desktop at work as the com-puta.

Just watched my very first episode of this last night after seeing y'all compare it to twilight zone/outer limits etc.

Man ****ing pig.....yeah. Wasn't expecting that. Not exactly what i had in mind.

A few posts later I also recommended that people NOT start with that episode. It’s the consensus among fans of the show to recommend newbies start somewhere other than S1E1. It’s a shame that they don’t just reorder the show because a lot of people really dislike the first episode.
Yeah, guess maybe i shoulda read the thread instead of only the last few posts.

Because that was definitely man ****ing pig.

Yeah, the first episode was pretty disturbing. They can be rather uneven; I did enjoy the Star Trek based one. It's a lot later in the series.

I tell everyone to NOT start with that episode. Smooth sailing the rest of the way.

Go watch White Christmas. Then you’ll get it.

Can’t even begin to tell you how many people I’ve heard stopped watching black mirror because of the pig episode. Netflix needs to resort their season 1 so this doesn’t pop up first.

It's not like they actually show anything; more like the old days where they let your imagination do the work of the special effects team.

I get that. I’ve known several people who still couldn’t get past that episode purely for that reason. Just the thought of it was too much. I think they would’ve tolerated it if they started with a different episode first

Hang the DJ and The Entire History of You. Probably somewhere in my top 10 of BM episodes.

On another note, season six was ****ing terrible. Made us wait that long for a steaming pile of mediocrity. There really is not jack shit in good TV anymore outside of Severance and House of Dragons with Netflix pretty much phoning in the past BM season.

Previous season was much better

TwistedChief 04-14-2025 06:52 PM
Season 7 just dropped.

Haven’t had a chance to watch any of the episodes, but this immediately looks better than the last couple seasons.

And a sequel to the USS Callister? Love it.
