Just started on season 3. The Christmas special was pretty damn good, in case any of you missed that one (I don't have nextflix so I'm not sure if it's available there).

Waldo has been the weakest episode for me so far.

NSFW: show

Everything else has been enjoyable (and sometimes really fucking good). Looking forward to seeing the rest of season 3.

It was just a little too slapstick satirical for me. I'm sure Waldo not being funny was supposed to be part of the point, making politicians seem even more ridiculous, but for that reason it just ended up being an episode where I didn't like any of the characters, even if the man behind Waldo didn't like him either. Cheap shot.

my favorite.

Finished. I think the San Junipero episode was interesting in terms of the concept but it just took too long to unfold and get to the core content.

That's exactly what I felt about that episode too. I have so many friends that were raving about how awesome it was and I was starting to feel I was the only one who didn't love it

I just started season three as well and I've noticed they have similar concepts for several episodes. Like controlling shit with your eyes. It's kind of cool but at the same time seems dumb to me. I'm not sure if I love or hate the show yet. It's odd, but sometimes seems kind of pointless in it's approach.

I was thinking that was more of a way to show how everything is taking place around the same time, though.
Plus, I think that having HUD in your eyes is one of the more popular concepts for future technology (especially since there's a lot more potential for it being real compared to a lot of other technologies).
