First episode felt like a solid Black Mirror episode
LOL was that the one with the pig? I am so glad that wasn't my first impression of the show. No way I would have watched another episode. Crazy strategy leading off with that one...still not sure what they were thinking. I am assuming they went with the "shock value"/"any pub is good pub" approach, but there are tons of people that would not have continued the show for another minute had they seen that one first.YouBet said:

Crazy, because almost svery single episode after that one was great. And there were no other weird/gross/perverted ones...it was an outlier for sure. I don't blame you for stopping, just assuring you that episode simply does not fit AT ALL with the rest of the series. To lead with that one is absolutely insane imo.YouBet said:El Gallo Blanco said:LOL was that the one with the pig? I am so glad that wasn't my first impression of the show.

Yes, and there was just no way for me to continue after that. Also, considering some of the themes from this show have started to become reality I just don't want the added depression from it.
Yep... I knew my wife would like this series... but I knew she would hate that one... so different than anything else. So I never showed her it... not sure she ever saw it.Flashdiaz said:YouBet said:

lol when I tell people about this series I tell them to skip that one
Yeah, I was thinking that it is a shame that San Junipero was so popular as I absolutely hated that one and it seems they try to constantly recreate it or bring in elements of it when they can.normalhorn said:
while utterly depressing, the first episode was prototypical Black Mirror storytelling.
Episode 2 (Bete Noir) reached a bit with the twist.
Episode 3 (Hotel Reverie) was way too long in the tooth, and a poor attempt not to copy San Junipero from a few years back
Halfway through Episode 4, and not at all interested in the backstory of another computer game episode.
Maybe Eps 5 and 6 are better?

S7E1 Common people a real mind-****. Well done.
Same song from fifteen-million-merits ties the series together.

I figured I was the only one who thought San Juniper majorly sucked. I still don't understand why it receives such high praise.
