    That really is brutal, and I'm a bit bummed by that news. I don't get it. Why are they so insanely stingy with the Black Mirror episodes? They always have been. They're great, but it's not like they are so crazy they can't possible manage a 10 episode season. So strange. Especially since they have literally endless possibilities for the storylines.

    Boooooo. I'm gonna pretend that they're going to roll the next 3 series of 3 episodes out over the course of the year.

    Regardless, stick it in my veins.

    Yeah the first one I've found very polarizing when I talk to people about it (same for 15 Million Merits), and it can throw people off from watching the rest of the series.

    I'm jealous that you're just starting this show now.

    You know Charlie Brooker writes most of them? Its up to him. And it sounds like he spent a lot of time on Bandersnatch. And they increased in episodes once Netflix took over from BBC.

    I am...sort of. when it first appeared on netflix, I was confused when I found out the episodes I had watched were actually from season 4, not season 1, but those were the only episodes that were listed initially. I've only watched the first 3 ep's of season 4 (when I found out I wasn't going in order, I stopped and waited for the rest to appear, even though I know the ep's are not tied to each other) and now ep 1 of season 1. so I have a few ahead of me. I had forgotten about the show for a while, but now I'm back into it.

    That was probably the worst episode so far. The show gets much better as you move along.

    Does anyone else not like this show? I see nothing but positive comments everywhere. I tried it. Liked the first episode but hated the next 3 or 4 and stopped.

    I love it! It's so funny to me. :lol: I think it's the perfect first episode personally.

    Kay....  I still think it's strange all the seasons are so short, be it with BBC or Netflix. I want more! ;) I wish they'd just tap more writers if one of them is the reason they aren't getting more episodes like you suggest. With an anthology show like this, I would have thought they wouldn't have issues getting great scripts that fit the Black Mirror vibe from various writers.

    It's great! I think the worst episode is the one with the robot dog. Season 2 maybe? 3? Can't remember.
