    Of season 4 I only saw the Jesse Plemons, neonazi from breaking bad, die in the game die IRL one. If there are any after that worth watching I'd like to know.

      The only Black Mirror I found genuinely disturbing was White Bear.

        White Bear

        I also found that episode weird.

        spoiler

        Like... what's the whole premise behind this show? I get "the message" about social media allowing people to get off on punishing people, and how it's pretty sadistic even when the people deserve it. But who the fuck would pay to go to a park to mildly harass a woman who doesn't even recall the awful crime she committed? For most of the whole affair the lady is out in the woods and none of the cell phone gawkers could even see her. Who designed this weird ass scenario? What's the point? Wouldn't it just be more efficient to just torture her to death on live TV or something?

        Like I got the concept but I found the details were really weird and I spent more time thinking about that than the message.

          Once again the very clear message of "British people are inhuman monsters who delight in the suffering of minorities" is squandered on deaf ears

          I don't think it's meant to be realistic. It's more of a surrealistic take on the bystander effect.

            Perhaps.

            Idk I just found it weird enough that it distracted me

        The one with the doctor getting off on pain and death was really disturbing personally.
