Just finished Beyond the Sea. Has this season felt way more depressing than previous ones? Like holy cow, Beyond the Sea and Loch Henry… WOW! Very good episodes, but does not leave an enjoyable aftertaste. Maybe Love Death Robots has left me with too many “neat” idea episodes and I just forgot this is what Black Mirror is

    Uh… “enjoyable aftertaste”? Are you sure you’ve been watching the right show lol. I feel the best black mirror episodes make u feel depressed for humanity after it ends haha

      How would you describe the post-watch period where you are thinking about the show? “Aftertaste” got the meaning across, so 🤷‍♀️

      I suppose what I felt is that many of the shows felt futuristic, like they could happen but we aren’t there yet, with a sci-fi vibe mixed in. This season felt like it could be right now, so hit harder I guess

        Oh i wasn’t questioning the word “aftertaste”, I was questioning the word “enjoyable”. To me the best black mirror episodes are always slightly disturbing.

        How did you feel about the pilot? The one with the prime minister and the pig (trying not to give away too much here, dunno how spoilers work)?

    There’s a more human and less technology element to this series. Loch Henry wasn’t about tech at all
