@Olamyyde, you don't have to prove anything to me, but it's a little puzzling that you'd lump Black Mirror as one of your top 10 all time favorite shows solely based on a relatively weak season by Black Mirror' standard (Season 3) and a standalone christmas special episode (White Christmas). Nah.

Look, some of us started following Black Mirror as far back as 2011 and it was the rave of the moment. Every episode from "National Anthem" to "Entire history of you" was something like we've never seen on TV before. It was outrageous and mind bending. It was the sh*t. Black Mirror was thus, born. That was the peak season and hence, set the precedent for the rest. When you reach the top, the only way to go is down.

Season 2 premiered at 2013 and even though it shocked and awed like it's suppose to, it wasn't quite as good as the first. Neither was the standalone special that dropped the following year, titled "White Christmas". But the magic continued nevertheless, Black Mirror was still Black Mirror.

Then, Netflix purchased the show in 2015 and commissioned it for a 12 part episodes to be split between 2016 & 2017. I knew then it was the beginning of the end. The show worked best as a 3 part limited series: It was a formulae that have worked twice in a row in the past. More fresh content to worked with, more quality content, etc.

Not surprising, when it premiered, Season 3 couldn't measure up to the first 2, and neither did season 4.

So imagine my bemusement when you picked season 3 as your alpha season when it did little to capture the essence of the magic we have come to associate with BM episodes.

I mean, most BM faithfuls either pick season 1 or 2 as their best ever season of the lot, and here you were, picking a Netflix revamp as your favorite? I mean, like seriously?? WTF dude? I mean, it's all subjective, but still... mehn.

As for your issues with Season 4, you're overthinking it. You aren't supposed to. Just go with the flow and enjoy the ride.
Wow...I'm honestly shocked that you think season 3 is a weak season. That is the strongest season I've seen by far...the only weak episode there was the soldier episode. I might be a little biased because the site where I downloaded white Christmas placed it in season 3. Please mention the weak episodes in season 3.

Just say you don't like Black Mirror. Season 1 & 2 were some of the best hours of television I have ever seen. They were peak Black Mirror.
After a 2 year hiatus, Netflix tried to recapture the magic of the original episodes but fell somewhat short on season 3. The only highlights been "Shut up and dance" and "San Junipero" episodes. Season 4 is really unique in the sense that Brooker decided to try something new and it worked... well kinda. Apart from very weak "Crocodile" and the very cliche "Black Museum", the rest of the episodes were very peculiar, but in a positive way.

A dark techy inclined anthology themed show like Black Mirror isn't for everyone - it has it's own niche. You either like it very much or you despise it. Fortunately, I belong to the former.
LOL...black mirror is on my personal top 10 greatest shows of all time and i have watched a lot of exceptionally great shows(e.g BB and GOT).
I started watching black mirror in 2016 and i was hooked from the first episode. I enjoyed 15 million merits(esp the song) but i didn't like the ending.

Season 2 was great(i just recently found out that white christmas(one of the craziest ep) was in s2). The 1st episode(brb) was good, i liked the concept and the tech. The 2nd ep(white bear) was boring at the beginning but i was mindfvcked at the ending..loved it. The 3rd ep(waldo moment) is my personal worst episode of black mirror. I didn't watch white christmas in season 2 so i thought season 2 was average but the addition of white christmas makes season 2 great. That episode is BM at its peak, no wonder it is rated 9.2 on imdb(highest ep).

Season 2 made me understand what made black mirror unique(things that s4 severely lacked):
1) BM shows the harmful effects of technology on the society
2) constant mindfvcking(i was blown away at every episode)
3) new tech at every episode
4) no happy endings(this was the most unique feature to me)
5) Thought provoking

Season 3 was one of the best TV I've ever watched in my life. It had every black mirror feature esp mindfvcking and depressive endings. The only episodes i didn't really enjoy were san junipero(only the ending) and that soldier episode. The others were incredibly great for me especially the bees ep and shut up and dance(my best BM episode ever)

Season 4 was a huge disappointment, the only episodes that stood out were hang the Dj(9.1 imdb) and black museum(best episode of the season by far(8.9)) and only black museum had the black mirror uniqueness for me. I expected sth bad to happen at the end of hang the dj but i still enjoyed it.

Uss callister(8.5) was just average to me(no mindfvcing ending, copying the tech of white christmas, filled with numerous plot holes)
why didn't he just say "pause game" when he realized that the crew had vanished?
how was he seduced into going swimming in the lake? the dude specifically modded the game to have no genitals for anybody, so why would a girl in a bikini in a lake be able to distract him? How can DNA contain someone's memories and past experiences(impossible in real life)?
Did Daley deserve to die(all the people he tortured are just AI code)? Even if he deserved to die why didn't the AI people die when they entered the wormhole...bad guy dying and good people alive is so unlike Black mirror.

Arkangel was a disgrace to Black mirror. The episode had so much potential(very unique tech) but it was riddled with plot holes and had a very weak ending.
Why didn't the mother talk to the girl about coming late after she found out that she had sex...she could have confronted the daughter that she called her friend and the friend told her she wasn't with her. Instead she lied.
The stupid mother saw her daughter snorting coke and confronted the bf and didn't challenge the daughter at all, so unrealistic.
The useless mother even blacmailed the bf with the sex video and not the coke video(extremely poor writing)
They could have ended the episode with the mother watching the daughter commit suicide with the tab or the daughter having permanent filtered vision when she hit the tab on the mother or the mother dying when she was hit but instead they went with the mother surviving and the daughter running away...very useless episode.

Crocodile(7.5) was pure unadulterated shit. Words cannot describe how i felt when watching this episode. It was like watching a low budget naija movie. It was as bad as waldo moment.
First, there was little to no character development. Why was the main character acting in such a violent way? Was she trying to protect her career? Her family? Save herself from going to jail? This episode could have gone into some really intense psychological/philosophical questions and totally skipped over all of it. We saw about 3 minutes of Mia's personal life in the whole episode. Her killing spree had no level of depth whatsoever. It was seriously just based on a "kill all the witnesses" mentality, which became super predictable within the first 15 minutes of the show. The twist at the end was even more pointless, how the heck will they extract the memory from a guinea pig? Will they ask the guinea pig to remember the event or give it alcohol to help it remember? Ridiculously bad episode.

Summary: s3>s2>s4/s1

What makes the show interesting?
Is it the bipolar/schizophrenic part or the hacking part(the only part I enjoy)?
Or the dark army part?
I remember season 1 was rated 9.3 on imdb and it ended up being my worst show of 2015. Season 2 was better...I loved the prison twist. Season 3 just went back to being dull

One of the most overhyped shows I've seen is Mr robot...I don't understand why it's so highly rated. It's nothing more than an average TV show.

unpopular opinion here but black mirror season 4 was a total disappointment. Arkangel(ep2)and crocodile(ep2) are probably the worst black mirror episodes I have ever watched. USS callister(ep1) was very average and felt un-blackmirroresque with the ending. The cookie technology was over used this season. The only good episodes were hang the dj and black museum.
Black museum was the best episode by far...it was the only episode that had a black mirror ending. But even the ending was a copy of white mirror's ending(eternal cookie torture).

I have to say Netflix shows in 2017 were bad for me.
Narcos season 3 was average
The punisher is the most boring superhero/villain show I have ever watched
stranger things season 2 was subpar
I only enjoyed american vandal

Charlie Brooker did promise that the current season's endings will be based on "triumph of good over evil" theme. He didn't lie.



Well, you can't please everyone. Personally, I think Season 4 is slightly better that it's predecessor, season 3, in the sense that it has more meta episodes - Season 3 only had one.

The original 3 part series is the GOAT for me. Surreal as it gets. The PM shagging a sow was one f**ked up episode.
Not as fvcked up as shut up and dance(paedophile ep) or white Christmas. I think the same problem that happened to stranger things affected this season of black mirror. Too much publicity so they try recreating the most acclaimed episodes and stop sticking to their roots.

Black mirror is back bayyybeeehhh!!!

I've only watched hang the DJ and black museum tho. They were great but I don't understand why they are diverting from horrible endings. That is what makes black mirror unique -horrible endings with a message to the society about how harmful technology is.

A lot of fans on reddit are complaining that this season is a wash and rinse repeat of previous seasons. Season 3 still remains the GOAT.
