I know I did.

Do you have a favourite episode and/or season, Quin?

wellhayley Available now on Netflix, Black Mirror Series 2 episode 1, ‘Be Right Back’ with Domhnall Gleeson. This was a study of grief in the technological age (set a little in the future). How the reality of experiencing devastating loss is blurred and contorted by a technology that simulates the one we have lost. Filming this stayed with me for a long time. Haunting, sensitive and smart. From the brilliant mind of #CharlieBrooker ��

That's a good description of it.

Karma Police · 03-17-2018, 01:25 PM

That's a very accurate description.

esp. this part "Haunting, sensitive and smart".

Precisely. I'm always in awe and grateful for actors who get their story and character, especially with Black Mirror when you only have one episode to really delph into it;

**Always & Forever** · 03-25-2018, 06:50 PM

Still need to check out that episode!

'Be Right Back' is one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes. The scene near the end at the cliff? I love it.

The first episode of Black Mirror that I watched was 'White Bear' back when it wasn't a Netflix show yet, it was on a network in the UK I believe. I watched that one first because Lenora Crichlow was in it. I fell in love with her character in Being Human and wanted to see the actress in a different role. I watched the rest of the first two seasons and became hooked. Glad Netflix has it now and that s5 is happening.

White Bear was such a good episode too but also so hard to watch. It was like watching Internet comments come to life.

***madness*** · 03-29-2018, 07:42 AM

Very true. I really loved that episode but it's so incredibly fooked up.

I think those two are my faves too

I liked the one where all the people scored points as well, I don't know the epiosde name

Nosedive (3x01)

Oh yeah that was a good episode, wonder if it made people think about how much they rely/depend on likes/ratings, how much they judge others by how popular they are, etc. I'd be like the brother, like who gives a crap.

Also, Bryce Dallas Howard did a great job.

***madness*** · 04-02-2018, 11:52 AM

The ending was just so satisfying to me.

Just having that freedom to say what you want and know you won't get judged for it? Beautiful.

kostilicious · 04-03-2018, 01:30 AM

IT really was a great episode

one of my favorites

I loved Nosedive too. Such a great commentary about social media & what people will do for likes. I think it was the first episode I ever watched & it got me wanting to binge the whole series. So I sort of went out of order.

I think my favorite scene was when she showed up all dirty at the wedding & just had a complete meltdown

. Even though somewhere in her mind she knew it would destroy her rating she just couldn't stop herself & just let the word vomit flow
