Not my cup of tea.

I'll watch, but it feels like it has fallen off from the early season's glory.

Which seasons are you speaking of? 

I've started season 7.

The premiere episode, "Common People" starring Chris O'Dowd and Rashida Jones is top tier for emotionally intensity. I put it up there with San Junipero and White Christmas. I'm actually a little shocked that Netflix green-lit this episode, because it is highly critical of their business model.
So, IMHO, it's been since about since the peak of the series, between season 2 and season 3 since an episode this great has come around.
For Canadians, this episode was filmed in Canada, the other 5 were filmed in London, Kent, and Buckinghamshire.

The second episode, which I've also watched, is more comedic (granted, dark comedic), and has a bullying theme to it. I think that enjoyment of it depends on which character you get behind and whether (like me) the ending makes you chuckle :D
Some people hated it, others felt extreme satisfaction, and then there were those sick and twisted bastards who chuckled at the ending.

I thought the ending was kinda funny. I think you need to remove yourself a bit from certain fantasy stuff. Its not real.

Welcome to the sick twisted bastard club. 😁

Cheers!

Finished the season. I’ll dwell on it before I confirm, but I think this might be my favourite season of the show to date. The episode I liked the least (Bête Noire) was still an above average on my list of favourites, while Callister 2 and Plaything both rank highly, and Common People, Hotel Reverie, and Eulogy each rank among my favourite episodes overall. They knocked 16 Million Merits out of third for me, and pushed it down to 6th. My Top 5 also contains White Christmas and San Junipero. While I’d say Plaything and Callister 2 probably rank on my list in the region of Nosedive, The Entire History of You, and Metalhead.

I’m still considering how I place Beyond the Sea because I was shredded by that episode, but mostly because of the ending. It was kind of a similar shredding to the Deep Space 9 episode Death of Angels, or TNG’s Offpring - except more extreme than those. This one could make a top 5 into a top 6. Hang the DJ was another one I liked, and I really liked the concept to it as well.

But more or less, right now I’m feeling season 7 probably gave me half my favourite episodes. I’ll reconsider it I’m a few months to see if I still feel the same.

But I think the seventh season is the first season since the… first season where I didn’t feel there was at least one episode that was “eh? Not really for me.” But that said, there aren’t any episodes I dislike, I more or less like them all. Although Men Against Fire (which is the same story as Star Trek Voyager: Nemesis) and The Waldo moment from season 2 - which unfortunately, was the most prophetical episode of the show’s history.

PS: I won’t spoil it, but there is a well known video game designer who was parodied in the episode Plaything (acted by Will Poulter). I think anyone PC gaming in the 1990s will get who it is, perhaps early 2000s. Can you guess who it is?

Once I finish Devil May Cry on Netflix, gonna start on this.

Been hearing about this show for years - gonna finally watch it.

Just a bit of advice for starting.

It's an episodic show, but three episodes are sequels or benefit from prior episodic knowledge: White Christmas (benefits from watching Season 1 and 3 first, even though it came out before Season 3), Black Museum - which is kind of a sequel of every episode of Season 4, and USS Callister: Infinity, a sequel to the season premier of season 4.

Rather than doing Season 1 forward, IMO: start with Season 3, then Season 1, then the Special White Christmas (might be listed under season 2, but it came out about two years after season 2, but before 3. You can fit in Season 2 before White Christmas, but it's not my favourite.

Anyway. Watch order:

Season 1, 2, and 5 are all three episodes, season 6 is 5 episodes, and season 3, 4, and 7 are each 6 episodes long.

Season 7 - Episode 1-5. It really fits any time, it can be your series intro, or anywhere in between any of the other seasons, or save it for dessert. Some people recommend not starting with Common People. Episode 6 should be watched after or during Season 4, as its a sequel to Episode 1 of Season 4.

Season 3 > 1 > White Christmas.

If I were to say an optimal watch order:

1. Season 3

2. Season 1

3. Episode Special: White Christmas (might be nested under season 2 in Netflix, despite not being season 2).

4. Season 7, Episode 1-5

5. Season 4 then Season 7 Episode 6.

6. Season 6

7. Season 2 and 5.

8. Episode Special: Bandersnatch

I have one episode to go of Black Mirror S7.

Yes it's finally a good season through and through again. Still sucks seasons nowadays are 6 or 7 episodes (After watching lost before with 23 episodes per season) But it will slowly creep to the 156 episodes total of The Twilight Zone.

So far Plaything is my favorite of S7, Callistor 2 still to watch. Eulogy least after watching hotel Reverie before that (Amazing episode). Like going a step backwards in tech while the plot twist is rather mundane and miserable.

Bete Noir was good, taking gaslighting to a whole new level. The 'shocking' ending felt like mercy for Verity.
Common people hits hard with what's going on in the states. Substitute the sci-fi stuff for being dependent on life saving medication and reality comes knocking hard.

I wonder why this show won't come to blu-ray. It will be missed once delisted.
