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 . Where were the nuanced endings that really left us pondering?
Yeah, I would say this season felt the most like it was trying to be Black Mirror and not 100% succeeding.
