USS Callister FTW! Black Mirror really stepped it's game up this season.
First one we watched. It started out slow, but when it picked up... damn. We were stoked to find out there were four seasons, until we realized there's only 3-4 episodes per season. lol.

The good thing about Black Mirror is, you don't have to watch them in any particular order, episode anthology series ftw.

Modern version of Tales from the Dark Side. Love it.

If you are fans of Charlie Brooker and Black Mirror try some of his comedy output...

Black Mirror is good sometimes, but I feel like its kind of pseudo intellectual a lot. Its not as clever as it thinks it is.

So, did anyone watch Cloverfield 3 on Netflix? I personally didn't really enjoyed it and I feel that it was the weakest out of the Cloverfield movies. Like, the whole plot wasn't something that I expected from a monster film franchise and I felt underwhelmed.

It's quite inconsistent, very hit or miss, when it's at it's worst, that is certainly true. When it's at it's best, that is a lot less the case, shocking, I know, lulz.

White Christmas, USS Callister, Fifteen Million Merits and San Junipero, those are sweet episodes of television right there.

I think the best one was the one with John Hamm (don draper) from Mad Men. There were 2 other eps I really liked. For a few, I rolled my eyes.

The Jon Hamm one is White Christmas, but yeah the show is hit or miss, this season was more consistent than previous seasons by a notable margin though, will say that, lower percentage of misses this six episode stretch. What were the other two you really liked? Did you the Star Trek spoof, USS Callister, that was my personal favorite, that and White Christmas.

The one where obese people were treated like second class citizens, and people rode treadmills to earn points was pretty entertaining. I liked the entire history of you as well. The Waldo one was pretty goddamn dumb, as was the lesbian 80's virtual reality retirement home, and the prime minister fucking a pig. Never saw the star trek spoof.
