I would go as far as to say that Nosedive is their best episode as far as world building goes. It's also too funny for me to hate.

Which episodes build a world like that through a character's perspective that effectively? The clearly fake cheeriness was the saving grace of that episode (I agree if you have problems with the plot, seemed kinda jammed together).

definitely better world building in Shut up and Dance and White Bear imo. i didn't hate Nosedive, but it was my least favourite episode by quite a wide margin.

Same with that pig ****ing one.
Nosedive is hilarious. I love it and have watched it so many times. Definitely one of my faves. So I caught the first episode of the last season of The Leftovers and they are still pissing me off and annoying me. I am only sticking it out because the series is ending but I know the payoff isn't going to be worth it. ****ing Lost *******s. They should be banned from being able ytoo create future projects.

Black Mirror isn't that great overall guys.
Almost finished Twin Peaks in anticipation for the new series. Wish there were fewer episodes in the second season and cut out some of the garbage parts. Donna and James could be almost cut out entirely as far as I'm concerned.

Who's your favorite character, and what's your favorite scene so far?

The best episodes are goddamned brilliant, but I'm inclined to agree. A lot of the social commentary is just soooo ham fisted and technophobic. Also totally agreed on Donna and James. Their was absolutely no reason for the stupid cougar plot too. Damned guest directors.
