This show is freaking terrible


It is like a super crappy version of X-Files, while trying to be a crappy version of twilight zone, while also being in general, super crappy.

BM and X-files have nothing in common other than being mentioned in the same breath by your super crappy post.

This.

this show is supremely thought-provoking and very thrilling as well as damn right entertaining. This episode in particular, which I just finished viewing for the first time and immediately was compelled to start reading up on. I understand differences of opinion however your breath smells like one of a troll. Thank you

And you are a crappy troll. Try harder.

And buy, beg, borrow, or steal a thesaurus when he's going to troll.

If you only watched the first episode, I understand. It's one of the most disliked episodes in the show. If you don't like the second episode, then you won't like the rest of the show.

This show is every great story concept that would be too drawn out for an entire season or even movie but perfect for an hour. This show is like a string of hour long M.N. Shaninonn...a ding dong movies. Only really good. Gosh I would watch these all day. Every day.
But alas....I ran out.

Thanks so much for voicing your view. Go away now.

I think the OP should have elaborated a bit more but people have different opinions. Granted, it's nothing similar to X-File or Twilight Zone. That being said, I do find some Black Mirror episodes a bit boring because "it's been done before" and packaged way too neatly for the audience.

I agree 100%. Give me Twlight Zone, Outer limits, Night Visions. I think it may be a generational thing, with this show. I have really tried to like it, watched or tried to watch a few episodes from different seasons, not my cup of tea.

reply

Night Visions?!?! I have never encountered someone who knew about that show! There were definitely some episodes that were better than Black Mirror. And the 2002 Twilight Zone reboot failure had a couple of interesting episodes but definitely not up to the standards set by the original
