Well this comment has as many twists and turns as a Black Mirror episode!

That’s the thing there seems to be a vocal subset of people who watch Black Mirror and judge episodes based purely on the quality of their commentary about technology. Based on that metric a lot of episodes, including maybe all three of Season 5, would be considered disappointments. But I still thought all three were…

I really did enjoy their previous ambiguous but close rapport in the previous episodes this season. However, I wasn’t as put off by the introduction of a romantic element as I thought I would be. After all they’re still very young and in a stage of life when relationships are fluid and always changing. Their initial…

I think this is meant to be a joke about how grim and non-hijinky Handmaid’s tale is

As I say above the character was very obviously based on Leona Helmsley, an actual person. Please don’t tell me everyone here, including the recapper, is so young they don’t know who that is

I know! Damon is such a drip. And he was featured so little in the season premiere I was thinking they working towards writing him out.

Not only did the recapper not mention Patti Lupone but there was also no mention of the fact that the character was obviously a riff on Leona Helmsley, down to the Maltese dogs!

I was thinking that not only had the HBO show not come out in 1990 (obviously) but I’m not even sure if the first “Song of Ice and Fire” BOOK had been published

I agree with you but I think it’s absolutely never going to happen. Since they’ve stopped even going back to the coma between the genre switch ups I don’t think we’ll ever return to that reality again

That’s a decent comparison but I still think the last season of Angie Tribeca provided more laughs than this season of Archer has, other than the third episode

Yeah I watched all of it and had the same reaction. I didn’t like “Detroiters” either. It’s like Tim Robinson keeps leaning into the fact that he’s weird looking and just tries to create the weirdest most off-putting characters imaginable. It’s some variation of that same joke in every sketch.

I bailed on Deadly Class after like two episodes. It was horrible

I can see forcing yourself to watch “When they See us” out of civic duty. Seriously, I think it’s that important, but can’t see the same for any of this other stuff

Of all of these the only ones I’ve seen are “Russian Doll” and “The Other Two” (which I agree were great) and “I think you should leave,” which I think was overrated. Who could possibly have time to watch this much TV in half a year? And this is just the “best” stuff? TV has become a soul crushing burden

Because it’s bad

To me all the first scene did was establish the following:

I’m talking about the former not the latter. Let me be very careful here: My point is that merely playing as a different gender in a video game IN AND OF ITSELF is not equivalent to being trans in IRL/”meatspace”/whatever way and the degree of social stigma and danger that that entails. In addition there is the idea…

There’s a couple things going on here: One is that I haven’t seen a lot of the middling to bad Black Mirror episodes. Since it’s an anthology I don’t watch in order or feel the need to watch everyone. I pretty much just seek out lists of the best episodes or wait until there’s one that sounds like it’s particularly…

I kinda felt the same way. I thought Anthony Mackie started to speak and finally being honest with his wife would’ve been a really good ending

Yeah they never really explained why Karl used that particular avatar and Anthony Mackie used that one. The implications of Karl in some way wanting to be a girl weren’t explored and they never tried any other combo
