I feel like the Arkangel plot could've been so much more.

A nice story of its own but with the concept it could've been quite epic with how the implant affected a young child growing up.

Yeah, at first I thought it was going to be

because she hadn’t been exposed to any kind of violence it didn’t matter to her anyway and she was gonna end up hurting herself/other people and not feel anything, or something along those lines anyway

Yeah

Spoiler:

as it was nearing the end I thought it would've been better had they gone down the route of her being desensitized to violence and then she started smashing her mum's head in and I was like.. . Oh.

She should've killed her to make it more depressing. :)

Iconic.

Yeah, the policeman at the end said something along the lines of "I don't know why she had to kill the baby... poor thing was blind"

Morgan. 01-01-2018 06:04 PM

I watched Arkangel and Hang the DJ yesterday - really enjoyed them! Will perch more next week but finish with Black Museum just because.

:( I didn’t hear that bit

She was a bitch

Smithy 01-01-2018 06:30 PM

My ranking

Hang The DJ > USS Calister > Black Museum > Metalhead > Crocodile > Arkangel

Daniel-X 02-01-2018 05:28 PM

I decided to give this a go after many times considering it, and I will say that I've been very pleasantly surprised by the first series! While I do think it peaks at The National Anthem and gradually the episodes decline (just a little, not noticeably) in quality, Charlie Brooker is really talented at creating dystopian fantasies.

Fifteen Million Merits while very good with some fantastic acting, could really have been shortened to forty five/fifty minutes like the rest. The Entire History of You was also good, I just didn't find the plot as interesting as The National Anthem or FMM.

Deirdre 02-01-2018 09:26 PM

USS Callister > Crocodile > Metalhead > Arkangel > Hang the DJ > Black Museum.

The first two were the only two where I was engrossed. The others I thought were actually quite poor.

iRyan 02-01-2018 10:21 PM

USS Callister made me cry and gave me nightmares lol, but it was amazing

Daniel-X 03-01-2018 04:04 PM

White Bear might be one of the most horrifying yet brilliant pieces of TV I’ve ever seen. I’m still shook!

RichardG 03-01-2018 04:09 PM

Marsh. 04-01-2018 04:48 PM

Has the show actually been renewed for a fifth season do we know?

Tom4784 05-01-2018 03:01 AM

Crocodile has left me SHOOK.

I should have season 4 finished by the end of the year at this rate :clap1:

Don't come for my obvious typos, hag.

user104658 06-01-2018 10:27 AM

A few episodes were excellent t and it was all great viewing... However... Overall I would say it's the weakest season so far. It's like it's forgotten how to be bleak without being TOO bleak? Pretty much every episode this time either had a totally grim ending (Crocodile, Metalhead) of which I found crocodile actually over the top, a relatively happy ending (DJ) which as a one off I didn't mind like San Junipero... or a somewhat triumphant ending (Callister, Black Museum and in my opinion, Arkangel).

So it's like... In 4/6 of the episodes things pretty much turn out OK? Like I said they were still good TV, it's just not very Black Mirror :joker:. Where were the nuanced endings that really left us pondering?

Tom4784 07-01-2018 10:55 PM

I watched Hang the DJ today, probably my favourite of the season so far.

Spoiler:

I loved the twist although I expected after all that one of them would have just been like 'nah, don't fancy that' and left before the date could start.

My only issue with it is that it tried to be another San Junipero and having one unabashedly happy episode per season will taint what made SJ such a special episode.

Marsh. 08-01-2018 12:16 AM

Tbh, San Junipero was kinda bittersweet, and kinda tragic and bloody depressing too. :(

(I'm the one that unplugs all the servers and kills their afterlife :))

Yeah, I would say this season felt the most like it was trying to be Black Mirror and not 100% succeeding.

ethanjames 08-01-2018 10:10 AM

ive seen the first two episodes uss calister was fantastic and probably one of the best ever right near shut up and dance san junipero and be right back. arkangel I thought was very poor and it was a surprise seeing as how good uss calister was. gonna watch a few today

Niamh. 08-01-2018 10:20 AM

Only watched USS Calister and Arkangel so far I enjoyed them both but USS Calister was better
