My OH loves Black Mirror so I do watch with him, I dip in and out of episodes but love the ones with huge twists
One that sticks out in my mind was where a young lad was being blackmailed for watching videos and the situation escalated wildly, you felt so sorry for him til it transpired it was kids he was watching, my mind was blown I felt I didn’t see it coming at all!




I enjoyed this til about halfway through til it got to the point they teamed up to go smash the computer then the ‘twist’ I thought oh is that it 🤨 second episode sounds better

Haha I love that one. Think it's my favourite. If forgotten about it but knew there was one where I didn't see the twist coming but remembered the car element do looked it up and watched it yesterday. Just as good and I'd forgotten the twist.
 
I’m another two episodes in. Thought Beyond the Sea was ok (though loved the inclusion of my teenage love Josh Harriett) but Mazey Day was just weird.

I was intrigued by the concept and had no idea where it was going but when Mazey became a werewolf I literally shouted “what the duck!” and it totally turned me off. However the very last shot of the main character lifting her camera to photograph Mazey as she killed herself it all clicked into place and I thought it was a great portrayal of modern media. Still not a favourite though…possibly one of my least favourites.

The thing that makes black mirror scary/creepy to me is that it’s easy to believe it’s real/could be real etc. so I didn’t finish that episode and turned it off at the part in your spoiler.
 
Besides breaking bad, Has Aaron Paul been in anything good? No surprise his episode was dire. I only have demon 79 left to watch 👀

Yes I said the same to my husband.
When Muse’s Supermassive Black Hole started playing I said that the song was reserved for Twilight only as I just associate it with vampires. Little did I know that 30 minutes later it would start to actually feel like a Twilight film!
 
I’ve only watched two so far. Joan Is Awful was okay, I wouldn’t watch it again.

Loch Henry was much better, felt more like Black Mirror because it wasnt so Americanised, it had a lot of recognisable faces from British tv and the beautiful scenery too made it feel a lot more authentic. Felt more like the channel 4 days. Like a lot of people I did guess the twist quite early on, but the execution was great and the performances were fantastic so it didn’t make it any less enjoyable.
