Hi Steemians!
Last year (it feels weird to say that..) I bing watched the first 3 seasons of Black Mirror on Netflix and I absolutely loved them all.
The exploration of future technologies and the fucked up story lines - I was left with chills after every episode and it's honestly a series that I think about daily (along with The OA)
I have been waiting with anticipation for season 4 to come out and now it's finally here!!
So far I have watched the first 3 episodes (no spoilers please!) and to be honest, I'm not sure if I'm feeling the same emotions as the previous seasons...
I don't know how to put it into words - the first 3 seasons there were some honestly horrifying stories and concepts. But so far I've felt these new episodes lack something - or maybe trying too hard for the shock value. I'm not really sure but I am keen to keep watching and powering through.
Has anyone else been watching the new season? What are your thoughts so far?
Does the season get better ?!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! I'm wondering if I'm the only one slightly disappointed so far!
Stay excellent!
Natt
Hang The DJ is the best episode out of all seasons.... so good! Enjoy!
Oh!!! I'm up to that episode. I'm excited to watch now - I saw someone post on Facebook saying the same thing! Thanks for the hype!! I needed it !
Let me know which one is your favorite when your done!
Isn't Netflix one of the best platforms?! Their original content is by far one of the drawcords for having an account!
I remember when I first discovered it in the US about 4 years ago, and my disappointment on returning to Australia where we still couldn't access it then.
I only just started watching Black Mirror a couple of weeks ago and was completely blown away by the concept in the first episode. From the sounds of it I have man more to enjoy (binge watching is a little difficult when there are two kids running around!!).
Thanks for posting this - if you have any more Original Series or Film recommendations, I'd be glad to hear them!! (Have you watched The Ranch? Possibly one of the funniest shows I've ever watched.)
Thanks again.
I bloody love Netflix! I can always find something to watch!
The exact same thing happened to me when I went to Canada 4 years ago! I couldn't believe it wasn't in Australia yet!! So glad it is now! Although with Australia's shit internet I can sometimes have a problem haha!
I'm glad your enjoying it so far! Theres some really great - and by great I mean fucked up episodes in this show! I'm excited for you to see!!
Thank you for reading and for commenting, you've given me some more confidence to write about tv shows! So thank you!!
I haven't seen that but I will definitely be putting that on my list !! Thank you for the reccomendation !
Cheers!
I'm a little offended that Netflix made it to Canada before Australia!! I ended up getting a VPN so could use the US Netflix, but was then quite disappointed when Australia finally got it and I lost about 60% of the content that used to be available to me. I also had to go with Telstra to bypass the crappy Internet that we have here - now I face a downgrade that 'upgrading' to the NBN will bring me!!
I'm definitely looking forward to more of Black Mirror - if anything, for the weird and unique ways they use technology.
I think the you should continue to write about television and the shows you enjoy - especially from Netflix - the Aussie side of things is now large enough that it is difficult to find a true gem in everything else, and anyone who offers help in finding great content is a much appreciated guide.
My one wish is that Aus Netflix would get Supernatural and Hawaii-50, but other than that, now there is quite a good selection.
Keep up your posts - I also read your post on The Punisher, but not entirely, because, again, I've been unable to complete it and wanted to miss the spoilers you promised. Ozark is starting well (if you haven't seen it yet), but again, I'm only a couple of episodes in. Anyway, keep the Netflix posts coming!!
I know right. I also had a vpn but every other day it was getting shut down so it was pointless to keep it !
We definitely have a much smaller selection in Australia, but I think it's growing as more people start using it!
YES!! I have nbn and like, sure when it's going it's bloody good. But half the time it's cutting in and out. Had about 100 "technicians" out to "fix" the problem in the past year and still getting major drop outs! I'm very upset about it !
Thank you! I definitely will now !! I'm currently rewatching Breaking Bad (thankfully I have it on DVD ;) )
Oh definitely watch the Punisher asap! I think I'm gonna rewatch that as well!!!!
I started ozark, but it didn't keep my attention past 5 episodes! i may try it again though!
Will do! I've got some up my sleeve ;)
Since you have kids you should watch Ark Angel in Season 4 first! Episode is directed by Jodie Foster! It doesn't matter what order you watch the shows in since the episodes are not related to one another (except for Black Museum which should be watched last to fully understand).
Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out as soon as possible.
I finished your recommendation @mermaidboss - again, thanks. Any other suggested episodes since watching in sequence is not necessary?
Finally! Thank you for posting this, didn't know the 4 season came out. I'm super excited to see what it's gonna be like. Absolutely loved all the seasons and hope this one won't dissapoint me
You'll have to let me know what you think !! Maybe my expectations are too high because I loved the last seasons so much haha. I hope you enjoy it!
