The Horror/Scifi anthology series returns for season 6. I hated the VanderSnatch episode. Hoping this season is a return to form.

I liked Bandersnatch (which was more of a movie than an episode) but hated season 5. I still don't get the point of the one where Papa Doc and Dr Manhattan can't stop banging in VR. Don't get me started on the Miley Cyrus one.

The British ones were better, although I do like USS Callister and the one where people's social media score affected their real life experiences (forget the name). The one where the woman was travelling to a wedding?
The Christmas episode is one of the most horrifying endings ever put to film, and it doesn't need gore either.

I thought season 4 was pretty decent overall and quite liked Bandersnatch. Will give this season a shot, hope they've upped their game a bit. |

I used to play those fantasy game books in the 80s (turn to 45 if you go left etc) so Bandersnatch was an interesting take.
Would like to see that format tried in another genre- imagine an interactive version of The Shining or Alien...

Very much looking forward to it. Some past episodes are much better than others, of course, but I don’t remember DISliking any of them.

I thought seasons 4 and 5 were a dip in quality and I only liked one episode of season 5. I do love the series overall though and I can't wait for season 6.

Awesome. Hope it's on Netflix. "Metalhead", the one with the robot dog was one on the best things I ever seen on TV. "Playtest", "USS Callister" were awesome.

I'm joking, Nora. Please excuse the levity. Most of the reviews have been aces

Have you seen more than the first episode? I have now seen it all and can say that episodes 1 and 2 are better than what follows. Its good filmmaking, dont get me wrong. Its just Awful Black Mirror. Its not Black Mirror. Its fantasy/ horror instead of scifi for most episodes. AND its not as well thought out and thought provoking at all. Its contrite and shallow episodes with lots of money and great craft and acting behind it. Too bad. So sad about the death of quality in one of my beloved series. |

I loved Loch Henry and Demon 79. Beyond the Sea was well made but predictable. Joan is Awful was fun. And Mazey Day was crap. not all the first five was gold. I utterly hated The Waldo Moment and The National Anthem. It's funny how people look back on BM. I've looked at many 'All Black Mirror Episodes Ranked" list and its a hoot to see how the vary. My personal favorite, "Metalhead", goes anywhere from #1 to #18. The only ones that seem always near the top is San Junipero (cute but sappy) and USS Callister (bet I'd have liked it more if I was a Star Trek nerd).

Seen Mazey Day, Loch Henry and Joan is Awful so far.
Mazey Day and Loch Henry were more out and out horror than what I'd expect from a Black Mirror story, but I actually enjoyed them more than Joan which is probably more of a typical BM-style story
