I'll probably watch this eventually. Last few seasons have been more misses than hits, so I'm hoping there's at least a few quality episodes this time around. If any of you guys watch this soon, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. --- It's not so impossible! ... Copied to Clipboard!

The first episode of the season is legitimately the funniest episode Black Mirror has ever done. I know that's a weird thing to say, but, damn. It's great. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just coming on here to check to see if there was a topic about this haha. Watched the first 3 episodes of the new season. all of them were amazing. Huge improvement. Gave me vintage high-quality Netflix originals vibes. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

When I first watched this I didn't think it would be for me, but San Junipero and Fifteen Million Merits are some all time TV episodes for me. I saw Aaron Paul is in the new season, so I am excited to see him as well. --- * B8 LNC * *****es be crazy!! ... Copied to Clipboard!

The trailer looked really good surprisingly. I hated nearly all the previous episodes (including the UK ones) so I'll wait for some reviews to come out, but I'm def curious. scarletspeed7 posted... I know that's a weird thing to say, but, damn. It's great.I mean look at the first episode of the entire series, which is easily still a top 3 episode.

I dunno. I thought season 5 was the weakest season but still good. This season isn't really thought provoking. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. ... Copied to Clipboard!

i don't think the show has been particularly thought-provoking since season 1 really. especially not since netflix. but season 6 is fun so far and if anything it's more thought-provoking than most episodes in a long time, especially in the sense that it is actually holding up a mirror to the viewer, which the show doesn't usually do anymore in lieu of just showing some fucked up stuff and saying "man wouldn't that be fucked up if that happened" ...

foolm0r0n posted... I mean look at the first episode of the entire series, which is easily still a top 3 episode. It's shocking that it took them this long to bring back humor into their dark humor series. the issue is that for a lot of people, (especially viewers that started with netflix seasons), 1x01 is "that weird episode that you should skip because it's not like the rest of the show" when actually it lays out the entire concept of the show - a concept which does not need to be dramatic rather than comedic and doesn't need to involve crazy future sci-fi tech. hence why any time an episode isn't a super dark sci-fi thriller people say it "didn't really feel like black mirror" when those aren't actually the things that make black mirror black mirror.

Yeah I think it's a bit pretentious to say that the style of the 1st episode is more "correct" than the style that made the show wildly popular, but I personally was excited for a series that was more like that 1st episode and was disappointed when I didn't get it --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ...

The bookend episodes of this season were really enjoyable, but I question the general veering more and more towards fantasy, personally.

Huh I'm surprised Red Mirror is an actual imprint from them that seemingly will focus more on fantasy. What a choice to end the season with that. --- "A blank page or canvas, his favorite. So many possibilities." - RIP Stephen Sondheim, 1930-2021 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Two episodes down; I'll post my full thoughts after I finish the entire season, but for now I'm enjoying it. Joan is Awful was hilarious, and, though I thought it dragged on for a bit too long I couldn't have predicted that plot twist for Loch Henry so it was worth all the buildup I thought was unnecessary. I started Beyond the Sea, but I was only able to get halfway through it before I was called away so no thoughts on that yet. Quite a concept though! --- :> I'll never stop smilin' she/her ...

Watched the first 3 episodes. Joan is Awful was funny and I thought Salma Hayek was great in it. Loch Henry and Beyond the Sea were alright, but they had their moments.

LightningStrikes 07/13/23 2:57:05 PM #31: |
Oh yeah I did finish this. Put me on team enjoyed all but Mazey Day. Loch Henry - Great, really enjoyed both the story and the social commentary, classic Black Mirror. Beyond the Sea - Also really good, liked the ambiguity of the ending Mazey Day - What the hell was that? Demon 79 - A fun different thing, as it makes clear with the Red Mirror labelling. Wasnt sure about the ending but I liked the reference to the film
But really its four I liked similarly, a massive drop, then Mazey Day. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gotta say I was not as high on Demon 79 as most people were. It wasnt bad, I just liked most of the other episodes better. I also thought Mazey Day was better than most people are saying.

Never too late. Much appreciated. Demon 79 > Beyond the Sea > Joan is Awful > Loch Henry > Mazey Day Only the first two are what I would call great television, but I enjoyed all of them aside from Mazey Day. I guess I was a bit harsher on Loch Henry and a bit more forgiving on Joan is Awful than most. Joan kept me entertained the entire way through while Henry was much more of a slow burn. I also didn't care for how Henry concluded- not the climax, just the falling action. Very abrupt endings with no real consequences for the antagonist nor any real justice for the protagonist really don't do it for me I guess. Like I get that life is fucked up like that sometimes, but I hate being reminded of it. I don't think I need to explain the other three since they're unanimously liked and loathed respectively, but if anyone else is still interested to share their thoughts I'm still here to discuss! --- That girl is poison...
