Arkangel 3/5 - Started well, but felt too restrained by the end. Crocodile 4.5/5 - Best one of the season so far. Great blending of horror elements with sci-fi. Only criticism was that it was too heavy on distracting references to previous episodes. |

Hang the DJ: 4/5, it missed San Junipero's 'damming social critique wrapped in a happy ending', but still fun Metalhead: 5/5 fast and brutal. loved this one. |

Black Museum: 1/5. This felt like they scraped together a bunch of throwaway ideas that couldn't sustain 50 minutes into one episode. And then spit on the whole series.
Overall, this was the worst season. Far too often they let people with gumption easily overcome the threat posed by the technology and stepped back from the whole "what is extreme consequence of the seemingly innocuous technology we are close to achieving" idea to allow for... less depressing and more commercially accessible plots? |

Decent, but it was the worst season so far. |

I've only got the Season 4 finale left, then I'll be back with thoughts--and I'll probably rank all 19 episodes. |

What were your thoughts on 15 Million Merits? It’s a top 5 for me. |

I think that when I watched it I was a bigger fan, but the more I thought about it (and the more episodes I watched) the less impactful it became, if that makes sense. Its critique of capitalism and "reality stardom" just aren't as sophisticated as some of the more intimate stories that come later in the series. I also think there's not as much resonance and feeling in the main characters' relationship as in other episodes. |

I thought USS Callister was super thought provoking and enjoyable. It's essentially a parable about escaping into your computer while leading a pitiful existence IRL. A commentary on keyboard warriors, in a way. Also an insane invasion of privacy and personhood, unbeknownst to Daly's victims. Essentially he's a Facebook creeper taken to the extreme. Not my favorite episode of Black Mirror, but I'd rank it among the more memorable ones and a good way to start off the new season. |
