Who watches black mirror and which episode is your favourite

That show is so good I couldn't even tell you which episode I like best. Maybe White Christmas.

No, because like Bronn said, EVERYBODY tosses it to regular porn. No shame at all in a late teen / young adult doing it, it's absolutely the normalist thing in the world. I was thinking the exact same thing throughout the entire episode until the reveal. Up to the end there, I was having trouble engaging the episode because I was thinking what ridiculous leverage to hold over someone that age, as opposed to say Bronn's adultery. Would a video leak of you wanking it be embarrassing? Sure. But that's nothing you could blackmail a normal someone into robbing a bank or killing someone over.

Remember he's just a young teenage kid. There are kids killing themselves due to nude leaks, online bullying, sex tape leaks, etc. I think it's strange you find Bronn's adultery being such a strong motive considering adultery is not that uncommon and divorce isn't either. Acting as though a normal person can be blackmailed into robbing a bank or killing a random over that is pretty far fetched too. The whole point is that the blackmail makes people act completely irrationally.

Oh, no doubt. I guess I wasn't clear. As a person that age, yeah that probably would have been my response: dread and mortification. However, as a 48-year old, I agree with Bronn: it might still be embarrassing, but 0 fucks given - there are much worse things to be ashamed about...

...such as wanking it to kiddie porn

Not to a person who doesn't want to loose his family.

If the episode continued, Bronn is going to prison for his role in the bank robbery. There is no way he's getting away with that. If his defense is going to be the blackmail, he's caught cheating anyhow. If he doesn't bring up the blackmail, he's fucked legally anyways. He can at least see his kids and have normal visitation with the divorce. There is an argument that even after prison he shouldn't be able to see his kids unsupervised.
 
White Bear was pretty good.

Playtest was cool.

The Christmas episode sucked.
 
Finally saw the Christmas special with Jon Hamm. It was ok. A little predictable and too harsh of a consequence for Hammbone at the end.

Not a good episode for several reasons:

Blocking people is a good idea on paper, but in reality it couldn't be done. No court would allow a child to be blocked from a parent (especially for the reason given in the show), so he would have known it wasn't his kid with a simple court-ordered DNA test. The mass-block on Don would never happen, if only because what if he's injured and needs medical assistance? No court would do something like that. Ridiculous if you just think about it for 5 seconds beyond the "cool twist" aspects.

In addition:

The "punishment" for the murderer is no real punishment at all, because it's not really him. They're just punishing a computer program which is nothing more than a waste of electricity. Stupid.

It was good, yet infuriating. I'd have been like the brother or the truck driver lady, only much more angry ALL THE TIME, lol

Society ever comes to that, I'll be handing out beatings regularly hahaha
 
San Junipero and Fifty Million Merits >>>>

Also, smfh @ the hate for the Xmas episode in recent posts. Such a damn good episode
 
i liked the first 2 seaons and white christmas way more than i liked season 3

i thought san junipero was meh, thats the one i liked the least by far

the kid in shut up and dance was great

the entire history of you was awesome
 
i dont get the love for san junipero, i thought it was slow as fuck and didnt get me excited at all

i watched it with 5 other people and none of them liked it either

good idea for an episode just didnt like the way they told the story i guess

This is precisely what was so great about this episode...because it mirrors so much of society today.

Espeically with the "like button" on Facebook and how people are lobbying for more ego stroking by posting filtered photos or making up fake status update like, "donated at the local charity today..."
