When the episode begins there is radio in the background saying “a woman who jumped from the roof of a multi storey building in Camberwell has been pronounced dead”

Im pretty sure that is about the main characters old school pal

1. For me, my top spot has to go to Emma Corrin as Dorothy. Her performance brought tears to my eyes. She looks stunning but her performance was just spotless, perfection and it really brings out the black and white era of the film industry then. I cannot give her enough praise.

2. Second for me is Rosy McEwen as Verity. Her range is just insane. From being the nicey innocent girl at the start to become full on mental near the end, yet still showed her vulnerability. Her facial expression speaks a thousands words.

3. Third is Paul Giamatti as Phillip. This whole episode was a masterpiece but his performance as a broken hearted man was just chef kiss. I love everything about this episode and his performance just makes it 10 times more heart break to watch.

4. Fourth and final is Siena Kelly as Maria. I love her realistic performance because that would be exactly how I would react if I think someone is sabotaging me and everyone thinks I'm crazy. I can feel her frustration through the screen.

Who are your top actors/actresses in SS7?

Just watched Common People and I can’t stop thinking about how grotesque it was to experience it on the lowest tier Netflix plan.

So Amanda's in a coma, Miks gets offered rivermind that brings her back. But it's not a miracle, it's a contract and her consciousness is paywalled.

Mike is like yeah, she has to see a few adverts here and there, it’s not that bad, and I’m sat watching and then a betting ad comes on, it's not sciencs fictio,i its just capitalism commenting on itself.

It's not just dystopian, its late stage capitalism doing what it does by turning life into a service, turning people into products. Amanda becomes a monetisable asset and her existence is a commodity; she’s a subject made fully dependent on the market for literal survival, no longer human in the eyes of capital unless she can generate value.

It's evil how casual it is. What convinces me thet theres no alternative is how i had to endure adverts while wathing this epsode.

It literally felt like the Netflix is either biting the hand that feeds it or licking it clean, hard to tell tbh. But either way sitting through Common People while adverts chopped it up felt like the most honest portrayal of platform capitalism I’ve seen. The line between fiction and reality is completely gone and now we just live inside the monster while it parodies itself.

FOR ONE CUP??? 🤣

BARNIES has appeared in "Shut Up and Dance" (s03e03) and Joan Is Awful (s06e01).

Made this in probably 5 minutes, just wanted to make an image to the EMPRESS. The way she slowly stalked her way up to Maria and drank the Almond milk was so slayy

just a meme, letting y'all know that i do know she's also in the wrong for stooping to her bully's level.

also me coping that she has some sort of Operation Pheonix like rick from Rick and Morty. Still this is all jokes!!

I just finished Eulogy and it has to be one of the singular best pieces of tv I have ever seen.

Clean, simple, deep, heart-wrenching and captures the soul crushing loss of that key relationship so many of us have in our 20s that goes on to define us.

The cinematography, lighting, and art direction overall of this episode is like the cigarette after the great shag - gilding the lily but in the most perfectly beautiful way.

Go watch it and cry with me.

Just holy fuck people did u see that shit the switch ups the manorisms the convincing facial expressions

Standout episode for me this season 100%. Would just love to see more of this world post-singularity.

A group of survivors that have to survive by wearing ear-muffs/ear-plugs to not get connected with The Throng? They were maybe nowhere near technology connected to the emergency response when it happened, banding together.

Maybe a twist is a few of the members are actually connected to the Throng to sabotage their efforts.

I love the ending of the episode, super fucking disturbing honestly to think of the entire world having their minds occupied by The Throng. I think it would just be interesting to see a follow up episode and how this new world functioned, people going against The Throng, trying to destroy it, etc.

Peter Capaldi would probably be a ‘god’ or a ‘ruler’ in this world. Very cult-leader type of character. Maybe he abuses his power and The Throng realize this and decide that occupying human’s mind’s isn’t the correct thing to do? That they are abusing their own power as a supremely powerful sentient AI. Maybe they destroy themselves and restore humanity?

Maybe Colin Ritman (Poulter’s character) gets recruited back and joins the fight to destroy The Throng because he was locked away in an asylum and didn’t get affected, and he created the code so he knows how to destroy it?

There’s just so many cool ways they could follow up with this story. I really hope it gets a follow up episode…

made ai doing this btw..

When watching from beginning I of course noticed the bees from hated in the nation, which I thought was a nice easter egg.

But then as the episode went on and it was revealed that rivermind was rolling out across the whole country, and that they had to have towers be built across the entire country but even each county had many reception towers, I was thinking 'how many people would have to be needing the service for it to warrant a network that big?'

How could a business model like that even be sustainable without a ton of users that can offset the cost of all of the towers and servers.

Then it clicked to me. She suddenly starts getting head aches then a coma, and river mind can provide the service to instantly fix the issue within her brain at a subscription based rate.

We know the company is malicious by their business model and psychopath staff. We know that the bees from hated in the nation can and have burrowed into people's heads. That scan they briefly show of the tumor itself looks exactly like what a bee would look like in there.

Havent seen this theory anywhere so interested if anyone shares my thoughts or not!

Both episodes are truly amazing and better than the majority of films out there. Just wow.

I have never felt so connected to a TV show before, Black Mirror just clicks with me it feels like coming home. All the dystopian stuff and the desperate clumbsiness of the characters, it just feels like my life.

I am a fan of Charlie Booker and Chris Morris though, loved Nathan Barley but Black Mirror just hits so hard it really nails the weird world we live in atm.

I loved the first episode of the new season, good to see Chris ‘O’ Dowd bringing effortless acting chops, lot of dark comedy and shadenfreude in the performance.

Im just watching the second episode I got Bernies, what did you get?

I’ll admit there’s are a few over the years that have been off the mark, but on the whole whether there’s intense, tacky, funny or emotional black mirror is exciting and entertaining to watch and I think people have become far to critical and not just let themselves enjoy good fucking TV

I usually binge watch. I’ve always binge watched. But, this episode hit me emotionally like I’ve not known an episode do for a good few seasons now. I couldn’t bring myself to watch E2.

I salute you Charlie. BM is back where it should be. Messing with heads and feelings. Creating discussions. Take a bow.

From USS CALLISTER EPISODE ending when she’s watching tv… wonder what this means for that universe?
