• Black Mirror Season 5

    This was always going to be a disappointment after Bandersnatch. They
    should have left it at that.

    The first episode had potential for a lot of fun - a Streetfighter type
    video game where you are actually inside the game - but, of course, they
    just end up fucking. Not that interesting.

    The second one - a bloke with a grudge kidnaps an employee of a Facefuck
    type company - was played really well and kept you believing that perhaps
    it wasn't going to end as predictably as it ultimately did. Not that interesting.

    The third one stars Miley fucking Cyrus. I'm sure she's playing an annoying cunt pop star, but that won't make it any more interesting. Fuck that.

    only seen this one so far - it was actually rather entertaining.

    I'm happy for it to keep going, it's like this generation's Twilight
    Zone (especially since the 2019 Twilight Zone was utter toilet), but
    yeah it'd be nice if this season wasn't quite so bland.


    There's a new BBC series with a similar theme

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY41jhIP_xI


    It's nowhere near as good as the trailer and there's far too much bumming
    in it, but Emma Thompson is fantastic.

    Great concept, could have been half an hour though.

    it wasn't going to end as predictably as it ultimately did. Not that interesting.

    Agreed, this was my favourite one mainly because the first half hour was
    so fantastic, but when it boiled down to exactly what you'd expected it
    was pretty lame.

    The third one stars Miley fucking Cyrus. I'm sure she's playing an annoying cunt pop star, but that won't make it any more interesting. Fuck that.

    Yeah this was the most confusing. Is old mate Brooker trying to get the
    kids on board? Weird tone, like a playful disney adventure film but with 'coarse language'.

    only seen this one so far - it was actually rather entertaining.

    I liked them all. I don't see any significant decline in episode
    quality like a lot of people have been ragging about.

    the stories are always unrelated so.....

    just watched the first one now where two middle aged black gentlemen
    play a vr video game and spend the game shagging instead of fighting.
    not sure about that one....

    You're judging someone on their choice of sexual exploit?

    You think that sitting in a room surrounded by 10 wanking men and sticking
    your cock in a hole that they've all just spunked up in is LESS gay?

    It certainly gave the impression that they spent loads of time on
    Bandersnatch and then realised they were contracted to produce more
    episodes, so slung any old shit together.

    Black Mirror has been one of the best British TV shows of the last decade
    and it was inevitable that the high quality couldn't be maintained.

    My quick reviews:

    Striking Vipers - Nonsensical, pathetic crap.

    Smithereens - Predictable and unimaginative.

    Rachel, Jack & Ashley Too - A good idea, but diluted and dumbed down.
    Black Mirror if it was done by Nickelodeon.

    The best episode of this season. I was figuratively on the edge of my
    seat while watching and waiting to see what would happen next.
    Predictable ending that the world quickly forgets and it is back to
    looking at a hand held screen for the next story to fill up the next
    five minutes? I'll grant you that.But that doesn't make the message any
    less relevant or poignant.

    The third one stars Miley fucking Cyrus. I'm sure she's playing an annoying cunt pop star, but that won't make it any more interesting. Fuck that.

    The episode is a lot of fun.
