I’ve just finished season 6 and it felt like I was watching somehitng else instead of Black Mirror.

The only episode that felt like “Black Mirror” was the first one (even with that twist at the end), but the rest… Are we doing supernatural horror now?

    Yeah this didn’t feel like Black Mirror really and apparently there’s grounds for that: the last episode and “Maizy Day” were apparently supposed to be a part of some spinoff-y horror anthology series called “Red Mirror” and to be honest, barring the first episode, the rest did too to me. I’m so disappointed, this is what I waited for for all these years? Should’ve just gone with the Red Mirror and done like one long special episode, anything other than this really.

    The first two episodes were OK even if the second one didn’t feel like Black Mirror either and I did enjoy the wacky last episode, just not as Black Mirror.

    Oh well, I haven’t seen the older seasons probably since they came out so I’m gonna comfort myself with the good old days.

    Bailed on the show last season. Tried ep 01 this season, and found it clever. Turned ep 02 off–just not interested. Not sure if I should keep going or not.

    I’m not even going to watch it. Also, where can I watch all episodes of the “before Netflix” seasons? It seems they are not in the platform.

    Yeah black mirror to me has always been a show about a dystopian future and tech gone wrong. Mazey Day and Demon were both… Ok episodes in their own right, but didn’t fit what I was expecting from black mirror.

    It wasn’t awful. But it wasn’t all that great either.

    Decent filler content for when I’m eating dinner, cleaning, or playing video games.

    I really enjoyed the first episode, but god damn, what’s with the pivot to horror? That Mazey Day or whatever episode was kinda fuckin insane.

    Enjoyed the Scottish accents in that episode, though. So there’s that.
