That's exactly what I was thinking, I would much prefer to go in blind.
The trailers are literally nothing. Horrible assumption thinking Black Mirror would reveal anything in trailers. Charlie Brooker is well aware of all the magical elements of BM.
I'm sure, I just don't really want any clue as to what it will even look like until it's in front of me and I can immerse myself in it. Having expectations from what I've seen, it'll have me questioning if it matches up with the episode, where as if I see it totally blind, I get totally sucked in to what's happening.
I guess if you don't even want an idea to some sort of premise then avoid the trailers and google searching BM and coming in this thread. But I knew of certain premises for S3 (like the first episode "like" system) and knowing the general idea didn't remove from the story in any way
Black Mirror is probably the only show I'd feel this way with. I don't mind spoilers at all usually. Studies show spoilers can improve the experience for a lot of people. I just love the atmosphere this show creates, it's hard for me to feel as engaged with damn near any other show. I like fostering that.
Lol I hate/love Rick & Morty for that shit. "See you in like a year and a half, or longer".
Yeah, the first episode was my least favorite by a wide margin. It really doesn't feel like anything happens, it sets an interesting tone but it doesn't do the show justice as an introduction. When a show's entire plot can be summarized in two-three short sentences, then it could use a little more work.
Its all but confirmed it'll be a surprise drop within the year. But yeah, I guess since its an "edgy" show they are going with the "edgy" marketing approach
I get that. Part of me was kicking myself for googling shit before S3 and reading some of the general premises like that first episode "like" system. But literally none of what I read before S3 ended up spoiling anything beyond that, and that "spoiler" is revealed within like the first 2 min of that episode. These "trailers", if you watch them, are clearly designed the same way. Nothing they reveal won't be revealed within the first few mins, but what it does from there is a complete mystery.
