Another perspective: it’s pretty great, and holds up to (and even exceeds) the quality of some previous seasons. Even my least favorite episodes of this season

Another perspective: it’s pretty great, and holds up to (and even exceeds) the quality of some previous seasons. Even my least favorite episodes of this season were still pretty good.
I expect if we each listed our favorite episodes they’d be pretty different – which is great, and one of the things I like about Black Mirror.
Some filmmakers are all about ideas, others are about vibes, and others are about character-driven narrative (my preference). I think the best are ones who play with all three, which I think Black Mirror continues to do very well.
- mupuff1234 3y agoSeason 5 & 6 are the lowest rated seasons by both critics and consumers, so seems like it's somewhat universally agreed upon. Personally I thought the episodes I watched were meh at best in most of the categories you listed, but obviously that's subjective.
- nicce 3y agoIf you compare to the any other show, plots were quite unique, and cast was quite good. I did not think in any moment that the show was bad. Just that maybe some previous seasons had even more interesting episodes. I guess our expectations have just gone too high.
