Great performances from the two leads and some of the best humor of any episode in the series.

Crocodile - A solid Coen-like crime story with unwitting fumbling criminal eventually meeting their end through a nearly impossible series of unrelated events - the very tail end maybe crossing the line into being too crazy and convoluted.My only real complaint is that it's a bit too long. USS Callister - For better or worse, this is the San Junipero of this season - the episode that a lot of people will love but some people will understandably hate.Sounds like Black Museum and San Junipero are in the same world. The easter eggs and certain episodes being in the same universe was more apparent this season. It wasn't a bad episode, just the weakest to me. I think seeing the real world more often probably would've help. USS Callister on the other hand felt too long and was boring in some spots. Crocodile felt weird, like someone was trying to do the Coen Brothers but something was missing and off, but I was entertained and interested while watching it. It was cool to see a more realistic and probable take on Terminator though. Playtest would be my favorite episode of the entire series without that final, lame twist. Much like Playtest last season, sometimes the show needs to stop when it's ahead. I get that it was probably for her dying nephew (or little kid they knew), but still. I would've liked Metal Head better without the final reveal that they all died for some teddy bears. I thought the top 3 episodes I have listed were great/classic Black Mirror in their themes and plots. It was first mentioned in Black Mirror’s debut episode (the VFX specialist brought in to fake the PM’s pig scene was from the series) and it featured in season three’s Nosedive (when Bryce Dallas Howard’s character runs into fans going to a convention for the show).I'm curious what other people thought of the season and how you'd rank the episodes. #SeaOfTranquilityReboot: Sea Of Tranquility is an in-universe “HBO moon Western” show that’s been mentioned several times before.

A TV project that users can control like a game? Sounds like a nod to Bandersnatch to us. And, interestingly, it looks they’ve just announced a project with Netflix, judging by the #DaitoXNetflix hashtag. #SaitoGemuAnnouncement: Saito Gemu is the gaming company that appeared in Playtest.#Snoutrage: this is the hashtag that appeared in Black Mirror’s very first episode in reference to the PM and pig-gate.During a brief glimpse into the Smithereens building, you can see a social media board, which mentions Michael Callow (Rory Kinnear), the Prime Minister forced to have, um, relations with a pig in the show’s first ever episode.Īnd, not only is he still Prime Minister, but looks like he’s leading negotiations in Brussels, probably meaning Brexit still exists in the Black Mirror universe.Īlongside Bargain Hunt and Gogglebox (which are apparently trending at the same time for some reason), there are some winks to other episodes in the left-hand hashtag list):
