Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I thought about watching this series for some time and I'm so happy I finally did, because this is what an anthology series at it's best can be. Reminds me a lot of The Outer Limits, which was one of my favorites back in the 90's.
Black Mirror is a fascinating way of looking in to the future more or less tongue in cheek. The only reason I'm giving it 9 instead of 10 is that I wish there was more horror elements, but you do get your share of horrible imaginary though.
The acting is really good. I also love the fact that I get to see familiar actors and actresses like Bryce Dallas Howard or GoT's Jerome Flynn, which also do an amazing job. The special effects are seamless and I wish more series and movies had such a fantastic effects.
Many of the episodes come together from the simple idea that technology and social media are consuming us and our world at a fast pace and it's dooming us more or less. I am not myself a huge friend of social media or the latest gadgets so I agree 100%.
You should most definitely watch this series, it will make your day!

Just as I was tired of all the futuristic dystopias whether the world is ruled by robots, everybody became fat and lazy, or resources are over and people are fighting for food, I came across this beautiful TV Series, instead of making people fear from what is already terrifying such as world hunger or short life expectancy, this show takes everything you love about the future, from artificial intelligence to nanotechnology and lets you see how it can go all wrong, and how it is more terrifying than evil robots destroying your home.

Just finished binge watching all 4 seasons. I will admit the first episode threw me a bit, like what the hell is this? Humiliation involving bestiality. All I could think of was, that poor pig. Watched the next one and thought I wouldn't watch anymore after that. Then I saw episode 3. The emotion was so raw, I was hooked. The husbands obsession and playing every memory back repeatedly looking for clues, I felt sorry for him. There were only a couple episodes that were just ok. It's scary to think this could be the future. Makes me think every time I use my phone or social media. How invasive to have someone legally see your memories. Black Mirror was not a let down. My advice keep watching, don't give up after the pig!

Every episode in this show is a stand-alone story, with different characters in different settings.
They are all linked by one theme - technology and human nature gone wrong. Mostly they are futuristic, ranging from 'could happen this year' up to 'far future technological dystopia.'
If you like happy endings, you won't like this show. I think there is one happy ending among all three seasons. S1E1 - I suggest you skip this one. It was by far the worst in my opinion, the only one I really disliked. It was pointless and disgusting, blackmail via social media for no apparent reason.
S1E2 - a future dystopia show about using media entertainment to escape a dull reality. I enjoyed it. S1E3 - a future where everyone has an implant that records every moment of their life and can be played back on screen. It was pretty good.
S2E1 - Can robots replace people? Good presentation of complexity of emotion and personality.
S2E2 - it is strange, you don't know what's happening for a while, without giving too much away it's kind of a dark twist on justice. I liked it.
S2E3 - could happen this year - a look at public opinion and the fakeness of politicians. Very good.
S2E4 - it says it is 'three interconnected tales' but it is all one story, and comes together at the end. Another 'technology and justice' story. S3E1 - social commentary on virtual 'popularity,' well done.
S3E2 - technological horror story, somewhat predictable but fun.
S3E3 - technology and blackmail, this one is how the concepts of S1E1 should have been done. I liked this one, even if the kid was stupid - he's a teenage boy, so his foolish emotional responses are believable.
S3E4 - a virtual reality romance, not my thing personally but well done.
S3E5 - a commentary on combat and dehumanization of the 'enemy.' Very well done.
S3E6 - a combination of technological terrorism/horror with social commentary - the deaths are pretty disturbing especially if you have certain phobias, but I really liked the show.
