My ranking

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

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.

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.

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

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

only watched three episodes of season 4 so far (not in order)

don't seem to care about it this time, episodes aren't grabbing my attention

all amazing episodes but my ranking:
1. USS Callister
2. Crocodile
3. Metalhead
4. Hang the DJ
5. Arkangel
6. Black Museum.

Now that I've seen all of them...

1. USS Callister
2. Hang the DJ
3. Crocodile
4. Metalhead
5. Black Museum
6. Arkangel

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

Crocodile has left me SHOOK.

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

this is season 4 you silly girl

This is the first season i acutal watched all of then (season 4)

My ranking

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

Don't come for my obvious typos, hag.

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?

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

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.

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

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

black museum is slept on

I watched Metalhead and Black Museum.

I liked Metalhead but it was quite slight on terms of story or content and I felt the concept of the world or it's circumstances wasn't explored enough.

I loved Black Museum, It's probably my favourite episode of the season all in all. It's just a well paced, well written story and I loved all the little nods to past episodes.

My ranking tbh.

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

I've just watched San Junipero and I was aware of how critically acclaimed it is and how the fans lap it up but honestly? I didn't rate it at all, quite boring and didn't seem very 'Black Mirror' to me.

White Bear, Nosedive and Shut Up and Dance the best three confirmed, write it in stone.

even though I've yet to see the last two episodes of S3 and the whole of S4

the last 2 eps of s3 are awful

I can't work out if the end of Arkangel was supposed to be bad / scary? Like I think it was supposed to seem ominous with her getting in the truck but in real life, hitchhikers are usually totally fine and she was escaping her terrifying and potentially dangerously controlling and anxious mother who was well on track to mess her up for life. Surely it's a happy ending :think:.

Especially as I was convinced the tablet thing was going to break with the "censorship" turned up full leaving her basically blind and deaf half of the time...
