FreeXone Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Loch Henry bored me I loved Joan is Awful but that’s cause I love Selma Hayek she is so funny to me beyond the sea was very Charles Manson
Taylucifer Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 my ranking: beyond the sea > demon 79 > loch henry > joan is awful > mazey day they’re never gonna top nosedive & san junipero i fear
Kiss It Better Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 just finished it and overall it's a pretty good season but nothing tops season 3-4 beyond the sea > joan is awful > demon 79 > loch henry > mazey day Spoiler the way they turned into twilight on mazey day
RihannaLoverrr Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 I actually enjoyed the season, definitely better than last season. Beyond The Sea > Loch Henry > Joan Is Awful > Demon79 > Mazey Day
nasa Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 my ranking: joan is awful > demon 79 > beyond the sea > mazey day > loch henry they’re never gonna top nosedive & black museum i fear
PMM Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 ok watched it. 3 first episodes are the best with 3rd being the best one. 4th and 5th one are not worthy
DoctorIce Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 I liked Beyond The Sea but like Joan Is Awful, there's a really annoying plot hole: Spoiler Surely it would make more sense for the replicas to be in the station and the humans to be on Earth? It bugged me throughout. 1
genetic fail Posted June 17, 2023 Author Posted June 17, 2023 Loch Henry > Joan is Awful >>> Demon79 > Beyond the Sea > Mazey Day The last two episodes having little to no technological aspect was a choice.

It bugged me throughout. Spoiler I guess it makes more sense for the humans to be in the station in case there is a malfunction or issue with the replicas? My only question was why couldn’t the guy just have a new replica made on Earth I guess it’s not possible for some reason but I don’t think that was explicitly said so I was thinking that the whole time, unless I missed something
Dylangaga Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Joan Is Awful was entertaining but that's about it! Loch Henry was good!!
DoctorIce Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 11 hours ago, dussel_06 said: People complaining about the lack of technology like haven’t you all seen Season 1 Episode 1 and Shut Up and Dance? Two of the best episodes ever. I think charlie broker is pushing something to show the dark side and perversion of humanity and technology is just an instrument to it, not the cause of it. Overall, this is better than season 5 but okay-ish. 3>2>5>4>1 Eh? The first episode is all about the power of social media which was a novel technology at the time. Shut Up and Dance is literally a story about extortion via technology that we all use or are familiar with today (malware/ransomware, GPS tracking, drones, live streaming). Most of the S6 stories genuinely don't involve tech at all: Spoiler Loch Henry: the discovery of VHS tape is pretty much it. Mazey Day: the paparazzi had cameras and the lead had an iPod shuffle I guess? Demon79: She watched a lot of TV and I suppose you could class the nuclear bombs as technology, but it's still not relevant to the story. I'm not saying that being tech-heavy would have automatically made the season better (S5 exists), but it is definitely straying from the original concept a bit too much.
Rep2000 Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Seriously, I think the creator ran out of ideas. Just think about it. All of these episodes didn't introduce any new thought-provoking premises of the first few seasons. Spoiler Beside the "multiverse" of the first ep, the rest is basically serial murders, home invasion murder into crime of passion, I can't remember what the 4th one is about but probably murder at the end, and then they finish it with, you guess it, murders. The twists are starting to be obvious. But I guess Charlie Brooks really did give away his thesis statement in the very 1st ep: "Awful" contents drive more engagement. Edited June 17, 2023 by Rep2000

Exactly. It feels like the writers/producers are gently straying away from the tech aspect and going for a more horror-oriented content, which is sad because it wasn’t really what was making this show worth watching at first. I fear S7 might just end up being a bunch of AHStories script rejects. Edited June 17, 2023 by BizarreWizard
popmusicisdead Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 well it's not worse than the last season, at least. the first 3 eps were the best. Joan is Awful was not great but out of all of the eps it and Beyond The Sea were the only one that felt like Black Mirror. Loch Henry was boring as hell at the start but the payoff makes it passable. the last two might as well have been American Horror Stories episodes
Rep2000 Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Mazey is so badly written, the end twist can be just anything really. Spoiler Vampire, ancient virus turning her into a monster, a voodoo curse, possessed, etc. you can literally throw a random dice or pick a random page of a monster Wikipedia and it would change nothing for the whole story. So unsatisfied.
airplane Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Was mazey day supposed to be a comedy? It was so lame Anyway, Beyond The Sea wins
Elvenpath Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 mazey day > beyond the sea > demon 79 > loch henry > joan is awful All of them were good to me though
Pelvic Thrust Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 They'll never have an ep as good as White Bear or Hated by the Nation huh 1

I like the newer seasons but I loved how doomist the first 2 seasons felt, tragic how C4 is struggling due to budget cuts rn. I was saying the same thing to my friend yesterday! there’s still a few good episodes here and there but ever since the show started moving away from the UK it’s gone downhill. it feels like Brooker tried to Americanize the show after its move to netflix, it was more bleak when it was all british joan is awful and loch henry were both entertaining and enjoyable but just did not feel like black mirror at all. beyond the sea is def the most ‘traditional’ but i still didn’t love that one, i think it was just too long Edited June 17, 2023 by Scandalous 2
Companion Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Omg what a mess it took them 4 years for 5 shitty episodes? They should have just released Beyond the Sea and call it a day. This show turning into American Horror Story sadly.
Kh-Loud Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Joan is Awful>> Beyond the sea >> demon 79>>> Mazey Day>>>>Loch Henry
