The wife and I watched the pig episode this morning. The kiddo woke up and we had to switch to the more appropriate Steven Universe ( also a great show ) For sure going to watch the rest this weekend.

Just finished season 3 after some eager anticipation. Was thoroughly impressed. The "called mom" ending in that episode was brilliant. I think the scariest thing about everything to do with Black Mirror is that Konnie Huq contributes to it. What happened to Blue Peter, Konnie :(

Or don't, binge them all in one go and just sit with your eyes out of focus for an hour or four.

Can confirm. Sleep deprivation adds to the immersion.

Don't know if you care but there is an anime with this exact premise called Kaiba. Really fantastic and the art style/animation is 10/10.

I've heard this compared to Twlight Zone, which is no faint praise.

Is that good? Aret hey "scary" or are they just weird?

I did this with the first two seasons.

I can't even get through the first episode of the new season, I can't stop cringing from the scenario.

This show shot to the top of my favourite list! I wish I had caught the first couple seasons; I'm stuck with whatever is on Netflix. But I am loving it!

I know!! It is very cringe worthy and it was tough to finish it. I was physically moving around reacting from it.

Absolutely consult the torrents man, there's absolutely no quality disparity between seasons, just that seasons one and two have much fewer American actors. Also re: Twilight Zone comparison, I wouldn't say they were scary, but would say they were frightening, if you distinguish the two. Both are anthology shows, but Black Mirror is much more intelligent and better thought out, plus infinitely darker to boot.
