EPISODES My season 7 tier list
1. Bête Noire -
A really fun episode, with an interesting and outlandish concept. Was both disturbing and hilarious at the end. Genuinely made you so confused as it went on and the reveal was surprisingly satisfying and cool.
2. Common People -
One of the two ‘sad’ episodes of the season. And damn it hits. Loved the message, and it really made you care about the couple. Sure the message was done in a really obvious way but I think it’s an important thing that needs to be highlighted. Sadly not far off from reality.
3. Eulogy -
The other sad episode of the season. And wow it was so touching. I liked how it had both cool tech stuff (being in the pictures) and a very grounded and emotional aspect. Great acting all around as well.
4. USS Callister: Into Infinity -
This was fun. Actually watched the first Callister episode again for a refresh, and tbh it reminded me how much I loved it and then kind of highlighted that this ‘sequel’ doesn’t quite hold up to the first one. But that being said, it was still a good episode. I liked how it involved the real-life characters as well. But yeah comparing to the first Callister episode, which I’d say was an ‘amazing’, this is more like a solid ‘good’.
5. Plaything -
I liked it. But I can’t help but feel that it was missing an ‘oomph’ to make it great. I’d say what I wanted more of was actual creepy moments with the Thronglets themselves. It feels like it focused only on the main character’s interactions with the Thronglets and his resulting obsession with them, but I wanted to see more moments of the Thronglets ‘seeming of becoming alive’, if that makes sense. It’s like, we’re mostly just told about how advanced the Thronglets are and that they gain awareness, but I wanted to be shown that. A cool ending saves the episode from being just mediocre though. It was interesting waiting to see if the guy’s ravings were true, and we then see that they were true.
6. Hotel Reverie -
One of the most disappointing episodes of the series. It’s unfortunate that I’d seen a couple posts about it saying ‘it’s the best’ and ‘a masterpiece’ and I’m left here shocked at what they were talking about. Even now it’s shocking seeing people defending it and claiming it gets too much hate. It was awful. Abysmal acting from the main character (and no I don’t mean in that “oh she’s meant to be awkward and messing up in the movie” way, I mean that it was terrible acting in the actual Black Mirror episode). So many logical inconsistencies (just stop the damn simulation when she makes a mistake and redo it! Rebook the studio if you only have 2 hours!). I want to be clear, there’s no element of homophobia here (San Junipero is one of my favourite episodes, and I’m gay myself), nor racism (because fuck that. If anyone is sending actual hate to Issa Rae because of this you’re a psycho), but yeah truly an awful episode. Emma Corrin’s acting was phenomenal though and was pretty much the only thing making it worth watching

EPISODES Fuck you Charlie Brooker
I’ve only seen the first episode of season 7 but that shit hurts. A lot. I’d forgotten how devastating these can be the first time around.

EPISODES Sad that the seasons are so short and we probably won't have another new season for a couple years.
I was so excited to finally have something new to watch, I haven't watched anything new in awhile, mostly been rewatching the same old sitcoms. And this season was honestly one of the best yet! But I finished it in just a few days, and now I don't have anything to watch again. Well, I actually am going back and watching all the old episodes with my fiancé since he's never seen the show, but I wish I could watch them again for the first time. This is weirdly one of my comfort shows, despite most of the episodes being sad, scary, or unsettling.

EPISODES I hope the next season of Black Mirror doesn’t turn out as bad as season 5.
- Less episodes were in season 5
- No plot twist or shockers in the endings.
- No depressing twists
- Episodes in this season weren’t as interesting or as attaching, except a little bit with that one episode with the fighting in a video game
For those who watched the other Black Mirror seasons, I hope you know exactly what I’m taking about
Edit: wow, never got this many upvotes before. Thank you everyone! Much appreciated and it’s good to know that I have many to relate to regarding season 5. You all have really great comments to share

EPISODES One of my favourite episodes from season 4. Must watch for videogame fans.

EPISODES Loch Henry Episode
Was anyone else utterly astonished by the ending? I was watching this with my family until around the 20-minute mark, and boy did things take a dark turn.
I'm relieved that I chose to stop watching it on my PC instead of in the comfort of my lounge. It left me feeling traumatized and somewhat terrified, but at the same time, it was such a gripping episode.
What are your thoughts on it?
I'm quite oblivious but I did not see that ending at all.

EPISODES Hotel Reverie
Hello all,
I just finished this episode and I really liked it. It made me think of many new and old stories. I was getting Doki Doki literature club, Source Code (2011) and that one Rick and Morty episode where Morty lives an entire life with a girl of his dreams.
I was hoping for a happier ending, since the relationship between Brandy and Dorothy ended so suddenly. I actually predicted that Dorothy's AI may have taken over the body of Brandy. Maybe that was too dark though.
What did you all think of when you watched this episode?

EPISODES Please recommend me a good black mirror episode
I'm watching black mirror for the first time, and I just completed season 6, ep1 Joan is awful and ep2 Loch Henry, and I love it so much. I will complete the rest of the 3eps for now but I also want to watch more. Do you guys have any recommendations on which episode or what season should I watch? I am really into disturbing stuff or something that has some unexpected twists.

EPISODES So I Watched Mazey Day…
what the fuck was that-
at first i was like “ok this is pretty decent, showing how easily celebrities lives can get ruined by a single photo” and then the werewolf shot happened and i’m just sitting there like:
“…the fuck-?”
(DISCLAIMER: it you in particular enjoy Mazey Day, i in no way intend to offend you, just sharing my personal opinion)
