Favorite from Season 5 = "Striking Vipers"

Science Fiction, Future, Thriller, Horror, Psychological

With just three episodes, I felt unsatisfied...I want more! Season 5 is definitely not as mind-bending or memorable as previous seasons, but it is still enjoyable. There is more political/sociological statements and less science/technology. I hope Charlie Brooker is writing and planning more...

Thriller, Interactive

This was fascinating and ground-breaking. I don't really want to describe it or talk about how it made me feel, because it is such a personal experience. I will say, though, that if you enjoy games, watch this. If you liked Black Mirror, watch this. Mind-bending.

Science Fiction, Future, Thriller, Horror, Psychological

I can't really summarize how much I loved each season and episode of this show and how much I can't wait for more. I've always wished there could be a show that was futuristic but not too fantastic and unreal feeling. This is it. This show has all the moments and feelings: eerie, scary, mindblowing, confusing, hopeful, and plain crazy.
