Just finished watching each episode.
The Waldo one was definitely my least favourite, wasnt really interested in it at all, didn't really see anything clever going on in it. Entire history of you is definitely my favourite.

I've watched the first four by now and you guys weren't wrong. This is great television. Hard to pick out my favorite so far but I think I'd have to give it to the debut.
The whole episode trumps many thriller movies I've seen. The rest are certainly good but I think the first was hands down the most engaging. My favorite moment so far was the monologue in 15 million merits. That was some powerful acting. I guess HM to Hayley Atwell's sex scene
I wish there were more episodes cause I'd binge watch the **** out of it.

Actually of the four I watched that was pretty much my least favorite. Although that's not saying it was bad. I just thought his obsession over something seemingly innocuous even with that replay tech...just hard to buy into. And then the end. I expected something more explosive. I mean it was a good ending that made sense but with the tension constantly rising I expected something else. But I suppose all the endings have just been intentionally flat, get you thinking kind of ends.
Other than the Christmas special I'm all done
Waldo was the weakest but it was still pretty decent. I just thought it would've been more interesting if Waldo just won the election causing the entire system to go into discord rather than just have [SPOIL]him win later apparently, opening the door for China to take over the world. Which kind of doesn't make sense? Did Waldo spread everywhere but China?[/SPOIL]

It's been a few weeks since I saw the Waldo episode, but that's not really what I took from the ending.
I took it as...
[spoil]The main character, the original Waldo, basically moved far away from England to get away from the "movement" - yet no matter how far he went away, it still found him. I didn't really read into that as China taking over the world. [/spoil]
Maybe I'm wrong though?
Definitely watch the Christmas special. I still think it's my favorite as I reflect on the series.
Hmm. That could be right as well...
No wait. The cops at the end were still clearly british.

It seems like I'm the only one that wasnt effected by this one at all.
[spoil]The dudes not real at all, hes a robot. He may not look like one or act like one, but hes just a robot and doesn't have any actual feelings, so I could careless if he was standing in an attic for the rest of his "life"[/spoil]
That's not the part that affected me the most.
[spoil]It's the fact that she continues to keep him "alive" for all these years, keeping him in the attic like that. And also the fact that she allows her daughter to interact with her "fake father" who has been very dead for many years. [/spoil]

I'll need to re-watch the ending. Can anyone else comment here?
Agree 100% with this.
[spoil] He's just there. All the time. Not breathing, blinking, sleeping, bathing, anything. Just standing there feeling rather "ornamental". I thought it was the most eerie ending of any episode in the series. And it's the one that has stuck with me as I reflect on all 6 episodes and the Christmas Special. [/spoil]
[spoil]It's also very unhealthy for her to keep him around. She's obviously still grieving and that's not healthy at all. I'm guessing her daughter is at least 8? That's almost a decade of grieving and holding onto a shell of the man she loved.[/spoil]

Yep. Gut-wrenching and eerie. The things that BLACK MIRROR is quite good at
So creepy and sad. But completely believable, and that's the worst part.
I'm going to watch the rest when I have more time. I love shows like this.

Exactly why I wish there were more.

Just watched the Christmas Special. Please tell me they are doing more of these. This show is not getting enough attention.
I just watched the first two episodes of season 1. I enjoyed the first quite a bit. 2nd was a bit of a step down, I thought, but still solid. I look forward to checking out the rest.
It's not. I've suggested it to all my friends and none are taking it on. I keep speaking highly of it and no one has started.
Remember the "re-creating the dead" service in Be Right Back?
It's become reality now.

I finished it all. I felt like the quality varied rather wildly. Some I felt were "meh," but I will watch the next season.

I wonder who had the idea first.
Finally got around to White Christmas. Oh my. This is indeed, far and away, the best one they've done. That was some next level ****.
I appreciated the callbacks to the Waldo episode and 15 million merits. If there were any others, I missed them.
I think if I had to rank them it would be
White Christmas
The National Anthem
The Entire History of You
15 Million Merits (for that astounding "Hot Shots" monologue)
Be Right Back
The Waldo Moment (funny enough but more politically charged than the others)
White Bear (All honesty, despite that "whoa", didn't see that coming ending, this one is easily the most skippable of them all)
