Risodo
01.01.18 | The worst season so far. Arkangel is laughable, Jodie Foster delivered the most predictable hour of my life. |
Papa Universe
01.01.18 | so is USS Callister actually just a Star Trek spoof or is there more to it? |
Risodo
01.01.18 | It's more than just a "parody", but don't live to the expectations. By now, i totally agree it's the best of this season, but for the standards of the serie, it's really poor indeed. |
Papa Universe
01.01.18 | I guess that's what happens when you rush this series. First two seasons had only 3 episodes and 1-2 years between productions. Since it moved to Netflix they have to use a conveyor belt to move 6 episodes in strict schedules. |

01.01.18 | worst season for sure. black museum was like a shittier re-hashed white christmas with a far looser connection between the stories, and a pretty poor twist. i actually didnt hate the ending of hang the DJ so much. it was a little clever and cute. also, i don't like how the technology is getting pretty similar in most episodes. the easter eggs are pretty silly too
1. uss callister (9/10)
2. hang the dj (8/10)
3. black museum (6/10)
4. arkangel (6/10)
5. crocodile (6/10)
6. metalhead (5/10)

01.01.18 | Yeah the technology in the show is getting way to similar. They could have addressed the issues of advanced virtual reality and highly advanced dating algorithms. Instead, they kind of just formed stories around those concepts, instead of fully delving into the technology. Hang the DJ's ending was cute, but I really wasn't looking for that. I wanted something that left me questioning the moral dilemma of a highly sophisticated dating app. Hang the DJ did have the best cinematography out of all the episodes though. |

01.02.18 | There were some cool ideas explored in this season but they were all pretty samey. I feel like they're trying to link them all together in Black Museum but hopefully they just leave it at that and try out different concepts.
The episodes with humor were pretty funny too. Callister the best for sure |
Deathconscious
01.02.18 | On episode 3, so far 1 > 3 >>> 2 |
Dewinged
01.02.18 | I only watched 3 so far but the Tinder one is winning. The end of the chipgirl one was brutal. |
Rowan5215
01.02.18 | Metalhead is the best episode by miles |
tacos n stuff
01.02.18 | The episodes this season seem to be the most "love/hate" ones of the series yet. Like, more so than ever before one person's favorite episode of the season is another's least favorite. I cant say i agree with OPs ranking but everyone's seems to be so different im not even mad. If i had to rank id say black museum>DJ>USS>metal>croc>ark |
Rowan5215
01.02.18 | Metalhead - 10/10, one of the show's best episodes and easily the best for cinematography
Hang the DJ - 9/10, the chemistry between the two leads was so good
USS Callister - 7/10, fine but overlong
Crocodile - 7/10. Shut Up and Dance: Electric Boogaloo
Black Museum - 4/10. White Christmas: Electric Boogaloo
Arkangel - 1/10. lmao |
tacos n stuff
01.02.18 | I think im convinced that absolutely no one can agree on metalhead lmao |
Ryus
01.02.18 | i think your opinion on metalhead depends on what you want to get out of a black mirror episode |
theacademy
01.02.18 | we say "series 4" here in the states u ignoramus |
Rowan5215
01.02.18 | "i think your opinion on metalhead depends on what you want to get out of a black mirror episode"
most likely. all I expect/want is good storytelling and gorgeous visuals and I got that. the lack of heavy-handed moralising just for one episode was super refreshing too |
Papa Universe
01.02.18 | all episodes finished. Metalhead is just kinda meh and so is the rest of it. I wasn't too crazy about S3, but this is somehow even more unremarkable. I will admit though that USS Callister was damn good. Not really disturbing in any major way, but satisfying and unexpectedly hilarious. (also, Aaron Paul at the end there, woohoo!) |
Deathconscious
01.03.18 | Just watched episode 4. Thats three "happy" endings now.
1 > 4 > 3 >>>>>2 |
Corney
01.03.18 | Edited the list a little. Changed the positions of Arkangel and Hang the DJ. Also, the best cinematography in the season was in Hang the DJ not Metalhead. |
wwf
01.03.18 | the tinder ending was not good, so silly that compatibility would be determined by rebelliousness lmao
Loved the episode tho |
Dinosaur
01.03.18 | agree on 1 and 2. I didn't care for Black Museum at all. |
Deathconscious
01.03.18 | are you talking about episode ranking number 1 and 2 or list number 1 and 2? you really fucked this up, corney. |
Corney
01.03.18 | LOL yeah but I'm too lazy to fix it I'm sure he means episode ranking 1 and 2 |
Deez
01.10.18 | Basically this season sucked balls. |
Deathconscious
01.10.18 | You couldnt be more wrong, Sleazy Deezy. |
jusplathemus
01.10.18 | I love the first 3 seasons (almost all episodes). Seeing as I prefer the moralising, I was pretty disappointed with this one. Crocodile and Metalhead were so far removed from what the series represents for me, I just couldn't enjoy them one bit. Arkangel was utterly boring, USS Callister and Black Museum were fun, but subpar, and Hang the DJ could've become my favourite episode in the whole series if not for that horribly bland ending.
4 > 1/6 >> 2 >>> 3/5
I appreciate diversity, but in this instance this season greatly suffered from it in my eyes. |
Deathconscious
01.10.18 | Wow, that is really fucking racist. |
Papa Universe
01.10.18 | Not quite yet.
Explain, justplathemus. |
jusplathemus
01.10.18 | What part? It wasn't my intention. |
Papa Universe
01.10.18 | It's also funny that a guy named AdolfChrist calls someone racist. |
Papa Universe
01.10.18 | And let me clarify it for both of you.
"I appreciate diversity, but in this instance this season greatly suffered from it in my eyes."
Adolf apparently took this for a racial diversity complaint, unless I am misreading the situation completely. But Jus probably meant the diversity in styles and stories.
All cool? |
jusplathemus
01.10.18 | Yeah, I realized that in the meantime, thanks Papa Universe.
I just meant that this season is a mash of multiple different genres that the series hasn't used before. It was always a kind of a sci-fi drama to me.
I'm real sorry about the misunderstanding. |
Deathconscious
01.10.18 | Yeesh, do you guys know what a joke is. |
Papa Universe
01.10.18 | Oh yeah, it's the world famous AdolfChrist humour: not just contradictory name choices anymore. |
jusplathemus
01.10.18 | I can't always tell in writing, but looking back, I should've caught that.
I feel quite relieved it wasn't serious, though. |
Deathconscious
01.10.18 | I am the edge master. The Edgelord Supreme, if you will. |
Papa Universe
01.10.18 | Really? Cause sometimes it seems like you're not on the edge anymore, but instead fell into the pit completely. |
Deathconscious
01.10.18 | Dont make me say the n word. |
Papa Universe
01.10.18 | Don't make me say the smwyg-sentence. |
theacademy
01.14.18 | now watching and enjoying how dumb most of these takes are
cheers guys |
