Season 3 episode 2 was a total mind ****...one of the perfect examples of this show carrying the torch for the Twilight Zone. That episode really stuck with me well into the next day.


I don't know if I can keep watching the show. It's at the point now where the characters get one day of relief only to have a month of misery...it's starting to get exhausting as a viewer. I know it's a zombie apocalypse, but there needs to be more balance as a tv show. How much do you want to bet Maggie's baby is stillborn and it's like some kind of zombie baby in her womb? That would pretty much be par for the writers.

I was already planning on watching Black Mirror but I'll give it a go tonight after reading that Twilight Zone comparison. Don't let me down, duga.

Never.

Out of the first 2 seasons and the first 2 episodes of season 3, there have only been 1 or 2 episodes that I would count as just "alright", but every single one of them worth watching. Since each season is only a handful of episodes, the quality is really up there.

I do agree with this. even the worst ones are still worth it. Ive seen the first 2 episodes of season 3 and haven't really been that into them, but the second one was definitely better than the first.

best black mirror episodes: "White Bear" (seriously the ending on this one holy fuck) and "Entire History of You" imo. could add the xmas episode in there as well.

I watched it at 9:00 then the entire 90 minutes of The Talking Dead, which was great!, and then re-watched it at 11:30. Everything hit even harder the 2nd time. Linda taped it but I'm not sure she's going to be able to get through it.

I totally get it...and in that sense, it was very effective. But it's been years of every season the crew works towards something only to have it snatched away. The show has been on long enough that for me to keep going, I need to see a legitimate light at the end of tunnel. I'm getting fed up with every effort to survive seeming futile for the characters.

Legit point. How the hell are they going to wrap things up when all is said and done?

I couldn't get into The Walking Dead past season 1 since it really felt overdone and the suspense goes on for way too long with little to no pay off. Breaking Bad did that far better and will always be a structure of what television should be like. I'm not going to watch a half hour episode of the same scenes shown in the previous episode then come to find out that the interesting stuff won't happen until the episode after it.

I watched up to season five and stopped because I thought it was predictable and repetitive. I also started to just not care about the characters. There are some fantastic episodes but there were also a lot of filler subplots and character decisions that I wasn't fond of. Twists can be great, but there were a lot that just felt forced.
