So you have wade thru all that to get to the few good episodes? What an endorsement. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I found the second episode almost as disturbing as the first one. It was like a really nasty Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I gave up on the series after the 2nd episode. It sounds like it got a little less horrifying. |

I had to look up which one it was. For the benefit of others, its the one where people, or at least digital versions of them, lived in a world full of exercise cycles and watched television to pass the time. At the risk of being a spoiler, I found the ending unsatisfying. I was hoping the main character would develop a friendship with the Asian girl, or escape. Personally, I like dark depressing shows, which is probably why I like Black Mirror so much. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

And I don't, life is way too short. It's why I like Lucifer, it's about the devil but it's clever and funny, with some faux 'dark' moments. The Lucifer character is a hoot, he's sooo into himself. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Exactly - the first one is like a shock to the system -- from there - it gets more sci-fi Another classic is the Christmas episode starring Jon Hamm |

Yes - exactly - San Junipero was a palate cleanser, so to speak |

Its great I was quite impressed I loved how I am explaining to the character that I am in control due to Netflix. I thought that was a hoot. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | I'm going through it now. Taking a break. I don't want to spoil it, so I'll post more in spoiler tags later. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | That breaks the fourth wall in a way I've never seen before. I will go through it again, hopefully tomorrow. I'm not sure if there is more than one true ending, or if everywhere gets to the same ending eventually, but in a different order. What if I picked the other cereal? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
