In the USS Callister episode, AI Nanette is trying to hack the system.

First, one guy says, “You can’t hack into it. I already tried.”.

She replies, “I haven’t!”.

I saw the entire series twice and don’t remember any line by memory, but for some reason I keep getting the ‘We don’t have those’ in USS Callister and then proceeds to strip and dance, lmao

Problem is I’m just starting to rewatch because it’s been so long since I’ve seen them.

However, I love Hang the DJ, White Christmas, and I just rewatched Shut Up and Dance (OMG JUST A TOTALLY CRAZY EPISODE). I liked Nosedive too and I actually liked the Red Mirror episode the last episode of the last season.

They all give me things to think about on a moral, philosophical, and even emotional and psychological level.

I highly recommend watching the special episode! It was the original series finale before Netflix revived the show and it is certainly a unique episode.

I’m a Metalhead defender till the day I die. I love how quiet and tense it is and I think they nailed the concept. Not quite my favorite but still one of the better ones for sure.

Nosedive is my all time favorite though, glad to see it so high, and Striking Vipers being so high is great too! Very underrated one.

I discovered Inside No. 9 in one of these threads a few years ago and fell in love. In my opinion it is way better than Black Mirror. Also watched League of Gentlemen and Psychoville, they’re all genius.

Watch Inside number 9 !!!!!!!! Such an amazing and perfectly written show, it’s an anthology and each episode is just amazing, the 2 creators (who are also in every episode) are so talented and make every episode extremely entertaining

Other people have commented this but got to say inside no.9. It has the anthology structure, with the two writers in the episodes every single time and they crush it every time. It has a twist mostly every episode, and everyone episode is so different it keeps you guessing. It isn’t so much about technology or dystopia, but definitely has the same impending doom laced with dark comedy that black Mirror has. Bonus points for the fact that there are 9 series of it, and the episodes are actually shorter. I love this as it never feels like an event watching an episode, they’re all half an hour long and you can watch a few in an evening. There are so many different genres covered. I would argue that as a tv series it’s better than black mirror for the reasons stated. It’s definitely remained thoroughly rooted in Britain throughout (in terms of location, featured actors and humour and tone) if that is of any note to anyone. The closest I’ve ever seen to black mirror so far

Love Death and Robots.

Love Death and Robots 👍

ahogy olvasom a kommenteket eszembe jut egy sztori még nagyon kezdő anyuka koromból, amikor még voltam annyira elvetemült hogy tagja voltam anyukacsoportoknak fbon. feltettem egy kérdést egy ilyen csoportban hogy hozzátáplálásnál barack helyett nektarint is lehet adni a féléves gyereknek? majd elmentem sétálni a kisbabával. mire hazaértünk és újra ránéztem a posztra alatta volt kb 200 komment akik nagyjából rám akarták hívni a gyámügyet, meg akartak lincselni és gyerekkínzónak tartottak hogy a féléves gyerek miért nem csak a mellemen csüng :DD a social media néha naggggyon durva egy hely....

8-9 éves lehettem amikor a szomszéd srác betört hozzánk az éjszaka közepén és bejött hozzám a szobába. Egyedül aludtam, nővérem a másik szobában. Arra keltem, hogy valaki simogat. Felkeltem és ő elbújt az ágyam mögé. Észrevettem és megkérdeztem hogy mit keres itt. " Jöttem szólni, hogy holnap nem tudsz játszani a húgomékkal mert megyünk strandra." Hozzáteszem ő idősebb volt nálam jó pár évvel. Kifelé menet lebukott, anya felkelt rá, majd a srác elszaladt. Fogalmam sincs mit akart valójában de anyukámnak volt egy tippje, amit el is mondott... Onnantól hetekig nem bírtam egyedül aludni. Feljelentés nem történt mert az anyja esedezve kért minket.

Nem vagyok benne biztos, hogy ez teljesen beleillik, de talán egy kisebb mellékszálnak elmegy. Közeli ismerősi körökben történt, hogy a nagymama a facebookról értesült arról, hogy meghalt az unokája, mert a szülőknek az első dolguk az volt, hogy kiposztolják, ahelyett, hogy a közeli rokonokat értesítették volna arról, hogy mi történt.

Én is olvastam de a kommentekben is voltak még extra "jó" megoldások

Elárulom mert nem most volt már…kávézóban dolgoztam pultosként

Magyarországon élek. Az egész életem egy Black mirror rész.

1. USS Callister
2. 15 Million Merits
3. White Christmas
4. San Junipero
5. Playtest

Edit: Honorable mention: Bete Noir, Demon 79

Not my favorite episode but Crocodile fucked me up so badly, that I had to stop watching BM for a while, so for that reason alone, I have to list it as a must watch.

The chain of events is so horrible and the worst part is that when I put myself in the protagonist’s shoes, I honestly think I would do everything she did except for her final act with the toddler. I couldn’t do that. But everything else, I probably would, which is horrific to think about.

Eulogy

Common people destroyed me but sentimental cries with San Junipero en Eulogy

Many of them, but Common People most recently. It hit home a lot to my personal situation.

San Junipero

Common People.

Eulogy, my greatest fear in life is not having lived the best life I can before it’s too late, and letting the one slip by.

While creepy, scary, or downright mental and entertaining some episodes can be this one feels the most grounded and real, and almost existential. I really enjoyed the tone and atmosphere of the episode as well.

"[...] People think it’s a happy game. It’s not a happy game. It’s a fucking nightmare world. And the worst thing is? It’s real and we live in it." - Colin Ritman in Bandersnatch

You could do "strong and pure" from MAF. I also love that Colin quote.

Here you go.

I'd go for something from the Waldo Campaign.

I thought this when I watched it the first time too, except now I'd be happy to see one particular politician fuck a pig

It's successful for the same reason as 1984: it takes a current observation of the status quo and extrapolates what is almost certainly going to happen, then repackages it as "dystopian fiction" instead of correctly labeling it as "realistic extrapolation".

...except some of the best regarded episodes paint an optimistic vision of the future too.

San Junipero, anyone?

I was hoping to imply that Netflix knows what it's doing. I don't think I did that very well at all. I appreciate you for putting that in perspective! ❤️

Ah yes, a criticism of Stalin so strong that it got banned as communist propaganda in the US...

It's not an anti-communist book. It is anti-authoritarian. And the fact that you can't tell the difference tells me that you should give it a read.

Ah man you're right, I always forget about the pig. I take it back

I think there is a positive value to cautionary tales, and Black Mirror does them very well.
