I dont know if anyone made the connection, but just started watching the series this week (LOVE IT) and cant help but feel like the journalist in episode 6 is loosely based on Katie Hopkins :joker:

I look forward to it on BluRay 1080P 5.1 sound


Feck Netflix

SkyAtlanticHD /HBO & New Movies Every Friday
is far better value

just watched Nosedive and found it really sweet. Bless Bryce's little heart.

I know Brooker's metaphors are really hamfisted but damnit they're always acted and told brilliantly.

I'll try and get around to the other five tomorrow. Rated 5 Stars! :D

just watched Playtest and SUAD... liked SUAD a lot more but it was basically White Bear wasn't it :shrug:

idk none of the first 3 episodes have really wowed me too much, think they may be running out of ideas. Liked the idea of Playtest a lot more but the character wasn't too developed (not to say he didn't act his pants off, just found it hard to invest in the story)

watched the first 2 seasons on C4 and really liked it. Dunno why they moved to Netflix but seems everyone's jumping on the bandwagon now. Episode 3 was my favourite in s3. E1 I couldn't even finish it, utterly terrifying.

Wow, Nosedive isn't that scary. :laugh:

They outbid channel 4 for the rights apparently.

I'm glad, the higher budget can do the stories a bit more justice.
I never really got into a Million Merits or whatever it was called because it looked so cheap. :laugh:

Firewire 28-02-2017 03:17 PM

I've only seen Nosedive from season 3 and I really liked it

Braden 28-02-2017 03:31 PM

In terms of S3:

San Junipero > Nosedive > Playtest > Hated in the Nation > Shut Up and Dance > Men Against Fire

The only episodes I haven't watched entirely are The National Anthem, Fifteen Million Merits, Be Right Back and The Waldo Moment.

Jake. 28-02-2017 04:21 PM

HITN/SU&D are the best of the series :nono:

Braden 28-02-2017 04:25 PM

Shut up, bitch!

Shut Up and Dance is the best episode ever imo?

Jack_ 28-02-2017 06:09 PM

I haven't seen Hated In The Nation yet and am not sure I'm gonna watch Playtest because I asked friends and was told it's not really advisable if you don't like horror

San Junipero was my new favourite episode though (previously TEHOY), it's cute AF and anything that closes with Belinda Carlisle is a-okay with me :love:

You big old softie. :smug:

Jake. 28-02-2017 07:48 PM

Also yeah Playtest frightened me to no end (it didn't help that I was house/dog sitting on my own at the time and I watched it at around 1am)

MB. 28-02-2017 07:53 PM

I watched s3 a few weeks back and... I'm not really sure on I feel about any of them? I liked Playtest and SU&D more than most, judging by the general reaction to both of them, and I actually didn't love San Junipero as much as I'm supposed to, as very good as it is

I'd probably say that my favourites were Nosedive and HITN, but even then I'm doubting myself

DouglasS 28-02-2017 08:03 PM

I completely disagree, I've been a huge fan of this show since it begun and season 3 is definitely the best season yet, and shows the show isn't even close of running out of ideas - Shut Up and Dance and San Junipero are the two best episodes of the whole show imo - with Playtest and Nose Dive being really good ideas - the other two episodes were also good to watch and better than most of season one and two

Shaun 28-02-2017 08:17 PM

SUAD is a poor man's White Bear sorry not sorry

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 28-02-2017 08:29 PM

the twist of shut up and dance was so blaringly obvious too

Spoiler:

i guessed as soon as he was staring at the kid right at the beginning, like it's black mirror so i knew that scene had hidden meanings

Jake. 28-02-2017 09:00 PM

San Junipero was lovely but as far as Black Mirror goes it was pretty cack. It might have worked better for me as a feature length film or something idk, Black Mirror for me always involves a big shock along with something to learn and SJ didn't really have either

Again I'm not slating it because I really did enjoy it, just not as a Black Mirror episode
