Just finished the last episode, good season. My rank (excluding 'White Christmas'):
1 - Nosedive (Ep.01) 2 - Shut Up and dance (Ep.03) 3 - Playtest (Ep.02) 4 - Hated in the Nation (Ep.06) 5 - Men Against Fire (Ep.05) 6 - San Junipero (Ep.04)
San Junipero was a good romance/sci-fi/happy ending story but in the black mirror "universe" didn't worked well.
1. Shut up and Dance 2. San Janipero 3. Nosedive 4. Playtest 5. Hated in the Nation 6. Men against fire
As much as I love San Janipero Shut up and dance is Just a bit more Black Mirror-esque and gripping to watch. Nosedive was good dragged a bit in places. I didn't care for the last 3 eps I placed very much, perhaps when I get round to watching them a second time they will grow on me but yeah they were a bit 'meh.'
1 - San Junipero - hopefully this thing will happen and we will live with our counscious on a hard drive. 2 - Playtest - awesome way of dealing with augmented reality. We had the first step with Pokemon go. 3 - Shut Up and dance - Just awesome story, comedy and actors, when I saw the guy from Game of Thrones was like woot. 4 - Nosedive - I don't think it will happen in the future, the episode shows what is happening right now, we post #%^& on Facebook just to get validation. 5 - Hated in the Nation - it was good but had annoying actors and not much depth. 6 - Men Against Fire - same as hated in the nation, not enough depth but interesting idea.

Or in an android in the real world. But even more probable is that eventually getting old will be stopped, and we could live forever except when dying in an accident. However, we would have to be able to travel through space and colonize other planets in the entire galaxy and beyond, otherwise Earth would become overcrowded.

1-Hated in The Nation (Most closely to technology today) 2-Shut Up and Dance (Pervs beware of the Mask) 3-Nose Dive (enjoyable but it's what we've become as a society, a world of likes and acceptance) 4-Men Against Fire (Very interesting turn of events) 5-Playtest (entertaining but man was Russell annoying) 6-San Junipero (the only ever BM with a happy ending)
1. Nosedive (3.01) 2. Hated in the Nation (3.06) 3. Men Against Fire (3.05) 4. Playtest (3.02) 5. San Junipero (3.04) 6. Shut Up and Dance (3.03)
The twists of the whole season seem a little weak to me. I didn't like San Junipero and Shut Up and Dance. San Junipero because it was boring, Shut Up and Dance because I've watched the movie Nerve and it was like a rip off of it.
I agree with your ranking, except I'd switch 'Hated in the Nation' and 'Shut Up and Dance'. Both still some of the best ever from Black Mirror, but SUaD's ending was impressively shocking and dark.
Playtest was my least favourite, as the technological/video game aspect felt a bit goofy and failed to resonate with me. Probably the most wantonly sci-fi of the six, although the ending was pretty tragic.
