I’ve watched season 1 through 6 and there definitely were more than one episodes that just left me feeling like crap… But there’s so many incredible episodes intermixed, like San Juniperno, that has made me keep coming back.
Today I watched the first episode of season 7, Common People, and… I just can’t. It’s done me in.
I have a question for those who have watched the remainder of the episodes. Are there any episodes that end on any sort of positive note or are they all this dreadful?
Maybe it’s just not for me anymore. I get the premise behind Black Mirror, but there is something about this episode that just kind of shoved me past a point that I’m not sure it’s worth it for me to keep watching.
Haha. Exactly. There’s something about it that makes you curious, but then… the whiplash.
That’s exactly the feeling I had about the handful of (maybe a dozen?) episodes I watched a couple years ago. First reaction: “I am so intrigued”, followed up with a heavy “I am so depressed”.
I’m still curious about the rest of it… but it’s so explicit and dark and just a drag… as interesting as it is, I don’t think (for me) watching the rest is worth it.
