TVC15
10.27.16 | 10 is 1 imo. Still need to watch Season 3 when I resubscribe to Netflix |
OmairSh
10.27.16 | This is the Charlie Brooker show right? Need to check this out. His other shows are hilarious. Cool to see he's branched out |
theDisconnect
10.27.16 | i never know how to format these right but 13 is the best and 1 is the worst ya feel me |
theDisconnect
10.27.16 | @OmairSh yeah its Brooker's show, dude is a genius. Check it out asap |

10.27.16 | The speech in 10 is possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen on tele.
Either that or the 'over the top' finale of Blackadder Goes Forth but that speech is just something else. |
TVC15
10.27.16 | Ahh ok now that makes much more sense hah
The speech in 10 is possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen on tele. [2] |

10.27.16 | San Junipero is my new favourite, maybe I'm just a sucker for the emotional stuff but that's one of the best hours on TV in recent memory
I'd rank em something like
San Junipero
Be Right Back (again, emotional suckerpunch, just so well written and performed)
The National Anthem (funniest episode and set the entire standard for the series)
The Entire History of You (you can tell it wasn't a Brooker episode but it's fucking golden)
Fifteen Million Merits (slow to get going but the middle section with the speech is absolute gold)
Shut Up and Dance (that fucking ending is ruthless)
White Christmas (the middle doesn't do it for me but Hamm's first bit and all of Spall's were incredible)
Playtest (would be higher if not for the cop-out ending but this is fucking intense as hell)
Nosedive (the entire wedding speech was hysterically good)
White Bear (another ending I'm not a fan of, this one is pretty overrated on the whole)
The Waldo Moment (underrated, has some real golden moments with some pretty shit stuff)
Hated in the Nation (too long and felt like a movie rather than an episode of a show)
Men Against Fire (this was utter trash, easily the worst ep) |

10.27.16 | I'd bet my house on Charlie Brooker thinking Jimmy Eat World are total fucking shite. |
Deathconscious
10.27.16 | only seen the one where that woman wakes up with amnesia and everyones taking pictures of her, and the other one where this womans husband died and she replaces him with some sort of artificial human. they were both really good though, need to watch more. |

10.27.16 | "I haven't got a speech I didn't plan words I didn't even try to, I just knew I had to get here, to stand here and I knew I wanted you to listen, to really listen. Not just pull a face like you're listening like you do the rest of the time, a face that you're feeling instead of processing."
"You pull a face and poke it towards the stage, and we lah-di-dah, we sing and dance and tumble around. And all you see up here, it's not people, you don't see people up here it's all fodder. And the faker the fodder, the more you love it, because fake fodder's the only thing that works any more. Fake fodder is all we can stomach. Actually, not quite all; real pain, real viciousness, that, we can take."
"Yeah, stick a fat man up a pole and we'll laugh ourselves feral, because we've earned the right. We've done cell time and he's slacking, the scum, so ha-ha-ha at him! Because we're so out of our minds with desperation, we don't know any better. All we know is fake fodder and buying shit. That's how we speak to each other, how we express ourselves is buying shit."
"What, I have a dream? The peak of our dreams is a new app for our Dopple, it doesn't exist! It's not even there! We buy shit that's not even there. Show us something real and free and beautiful. You couldn't. Yeah? It'll break us. We're too numb for it, our minds would choke. It's only so much wonder we can bear. That's why when you find any wonder whatsoever; you dole it out in meagre portions."
"And only then until it's augmented, packaged, and pumped through 10,000 pre-assigned filters till it's nothing more than a meaningless series of lights, while we ride day in day out, going where? Powering what? All tiny cells and tiny screens and bigger cells and bigger screens and fuck you!"
"Fuck you, that's what it boils down to. It's Fuck you for sitting there and slowly making things worse. Fuck you and your spotlight and your sanctimonious faces. Fuck you all for thinking the one thing I came close to never meant anything. For oozing around it and crushing it into a bone, into a joke. One more ugly joke in a kingdom of millions. Fuck you for happening. Fuck you for me, for us, for everyone. Fuck you!"
Definitely not a tdag fan.

10.27.16 | s3e1 makes me want to delete social media |
TVC15
10.27.16 | That speech wrecks my heart every time I watch it |
zaruyache
10.27.16 | I think I saw this on Netflix but never checked out what it was. Finishing up The Night Manager so I think I'll check this next. |
ConcubinaryCode
10.27.16 | I just finished season 3 and thought it was pretty great. Fifteen million merits is still probably my favorite but this season had some definitely powerful scenes. I loved the bit where they reveal they made people look like monsters in episode 5. Playtest was pretty interesting when they get into the augmented reality but it started losing me toward the end. Nosedive had some great social commentary as well implemented in a cool way. I agree with rowan about hated in a nation that it felt a bit overblown and not as impacting as the other episodes. |

11.11.16 | 13 is too low. Episode is amazing. |
TVC15
01.23.17 | First episode of the third season broke my heart... I don't think I can handle the rest of the season |
Deathconscious
01.23.17 | Edit: didnt realize this list was old or that i had commented pretty much the exact same comment as before. |
Ryus
01.23.17 | i almost got very mad until i realized this was in reverse order
your top 5 are probably my top 5, just in a different order
15 million merits will always be the GOAT for me |
Deathconscious
01.23.17 | Be Right Back was pretty fucking devastating. |
Ryus
01.23.17 | yeah be right back is heartbreaking. probably my second favorite episode. not as grand conceptually but its a lovely personal story |
YoYoMancuso
01.23.17 | this is a pretty great list. When Black Mirror goes for the heartstrings, it always works devastating wonders. |
YoYoMancuso
01.23.17 | with that said my favorite episode is San Junipero although i think White Bear is probably the most well done |
TVC15
01.23.17 | I like the Total Recall vibes I'm getting from Playtest |
TVC15
01.23.17 | Honestly this episode is kinda boring |
Ryus
01.23.17 | yeah i didn't love playtest |
TVC15
01.23.17 | I disagree with Rowan, I don't think the ending was a cop out. I really liked the ending but the eiposode should have been much shorter |
TVC15
01.23.17 | Oh my God that Radiohead song at the end of Shut Up and Dance. Never listening to Exit Music the same again |
TVC15
01.23.17 | Hated in the Nation was so good |
neekafat
01.23.17 | "i never know how to format these right but 13 is the best and 1 is the worst ya feel me"
Oh thank god |
neekafat
01.23.17 | Hated in the Nation and White Bear were great tho |
neekafat
01.23.17 | "Hated in the Nation (too long and felt like a movie rather than an episode of a show)"
...what's wrong with that? |
Rowan5215
01.23.17 | because, as stated in the comment, it was too long. about half an hour longer than it should have been |
neekafat
01.23.17 | Eh, I thought it was great but I guess I could see that |
Trebor.
01.23.17 | Nosedive is by far the worst episode |
theacademy
01.14.18 | its actually the fourth best |
