My top three episodes would be:

Shut up and Dance
White Christmas
Black Museum

Black Musuem was really enjoyable, because it kind of had Quentin Tarantino influences, most notably in the dialogue, but the story was really solid as well, and actually heart-wrenching at times.

Shut up and Dance is something that actually could be (or probably) already has happened today, solid performances from the actors and had an overall really gritty setting.

White Christmas is by far the best episode given the setting/plot, which was really shocking and had a really great twist, again really solid performances.

I also want to give a honorable mention to White Bear, because the premise really gets you thinking about morality and such when it comes to the tech they used.

Generally speaking, I am way more partial to the British directed episodes than the American ones.

Yeah, that episode was kind of a miss for me. Though I have to say, Smithereens was a pretty damn good one. Simple story, great acting (heartfelt) and a great way to deliver the plot. I feel they could have done a little more with it, but overall a great episode.

If you liked Playtest, I'd definitely recommend the rest of the show. I'd disagree in saying it's bottom 3, but it's simply a solid, middle-of-the-road episode. There are much better BM episodes.

Playtest is absolutely amazing. It's the one episode that inspires me to contribute towards the creation of fully immersive vr aka lucid vr. There's some serious knowledge in that episode as to how the world functions from a psychoanalytal perspective.

Sam junipero reaffirmed my belief in heaven, for if we can program an artificial heaven there is surely an afterlife and beyond.

The better ones are:

Uss Calister
San Junipero - Although some people think its a happy ending when i dont think so
Hang The DJ
Playtest
15 million merits
Be Right Back
White Christmas
Black Museum

It's no order and other people have mentioned them.

Because Kelly didn't want to be in the simulation. She didn't want to be stuck in a lifeless, nothingless, simulation.

The whole episode she's pretty much saying how no one in there can feel anything and how its sad that they are yearning for any type of sensation.

Yorkie pretty much guilts her into staying. I'm not saying she didn't love Yorkie and on the surface it looks like they have some bright future together. If you think about it thought its heaven for Yorkie and Hell for Kelly

I could maybe see why you could consider San Junipero a bad ending. It's implied that people aren't built to live that long, that they slowly but surely get so jaded and bored that they do increasingly fucked up things just to feel something.

Really solid acting. In the beginning you just feel bad for the boy, he seems to get extorted. As the "demands" become higher it starts to slowly sink in that what he is accused off is actually true. Then you start wondering if the ends justify the means, and if the ones reaponsible for the extortion are wrong or not.

It also doesn't rely on actual sci-fi. It's a really bleak look into what (could) happen right now.

We never hear the protagonist's last name, but at the end there is a quick shot of some documentation with his last name listed as 'Redfield'.
