Black Mirror - Page 35 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Just starting Bandersnatch, obviously not reading until I am done.

But for any of you who have played Stanley Parable, surely I'm not the only one who clicked 'no' twice for the instruction part, correct?

Just twice?

Why only 3 episodes? Kind of a bummer. Hope they are a little longer then. Looks good though.

I thought that was Miley but wasn't 100% sure.

Would rather have 3 episodes every 6 months than 6 episodes every 12 months (or whatever correct time duration).

Especially since they aren't linked.

Well I’m pumped for these of course.

I wish they would have done six episodes instead of three and that stupid Bandersnatch movie though.

I'm good with quality over quantity. Didn't happen with Bandersnatch imho.

If you're like me and wanted a goddamn release date without watching a trailer, June 5th.

The upside is we don't need to update that Giant Ranking List we made at all.

I don't know if it's because I've just come from watching Chernobyl, but I've watched Striking Vipers and Smithereens and they just seemed awful.

Only upside is there were a couple of funny moments in both.

Well damn. If Black Mirror is bad now, that's one less reason to keep Netflix around. Getting harder to justify the monthly sub at this point.

I didn’t think Striking Vipers was that bad; certainly watchable. Smithereens wasn’t great. And I thought the Miley Cyrus one had some big holes in it and definitely wasn’t up to Brooker standards. Overall about a C+.

Striking Vipers had a really interesting premise that they took a little too long getting to and then just, uh, didn't resolve? At all? There's no twist or narrative or anything, it's just "here's a thing I thought about, weird huh, ok bye".

Spoiler:

Smithereens wasn't even a Black Mirror episode, it was like, just a cop drama? And it's a ****ty one, there's no social commentary or point or message or anything.

Spoiler:

I don't have anything to say about the Miley Cyrus one, I couldn't get through it, too bored. Don't know what happened, don't care.

Guess I can keep it on my backlog list and not jump right to it after your reviews.

Currently watching:
Making a Murderer Season 2

wow, can't get over how bad this was

first one had no redeeming value I can think of. straight terrible, probably below waldo moment as the worst of the series.

smithereens felt like a made for tv movie on usa. no subtlety at all

miley cyrus was at least a slightly interesting concept but then the scene at her house with the security guard was straight out of a nickelodeon sitcom.
