Black Mirror Season 6 - First Impressions

Episode 2 - Loch Henry

Great little thriller packed into a tight and worthwhile 55 minutes, deconstructing the psychology of the popular true crime miniseries of the week genre. Characters start of one dimensional but are given enough room to grow in the allotted time, story is very simple, if not a little rushed. The biggest missed opportunity, I felt, was the downplaying of the visual aspects, not just the gore, but some of the visual symbolism, such as the mask, and the creeks and what not, which felt like a half measure at the end. Overall, it's barely Black Mirror, but worth a watch. I'll give it a 7 out of 10.
Will ya?

Holy shit the first episode ruled. Like @McGowan6 said it starts slow but once it gets going, it's hysterical. Salma Hayek crushes it, when the "real" Salma Hayek gets involved she manages to steal every scene.

Damn I really like this season so far.

2nd episode is solid, 3rd episode Aaron Paul is putting in the best acting he's done since Breaking Bad.
Third episode is amazing, totally worth the length, except for the last 7 minutes. And I'm like - yeah, he's a painter, of course this is paint, he's making a point by painting a thing that will show Jesse how he feels. It's not the stuff it looks like, its his art. Nope. Lets go shocking and dumb instead.

edit : Also, why wouldn't NASA immediately move the remaining replica to a base of some kind and have them share it 50/50 while giving Josh Hartnett a fuck tonne of counseling?

Yeah, some of these concepts could easily be feature-length films. Josh Harnett and Kate Mara are amazing too but shit, Aaron Paul steals it.

I just know there's gonna be later episode that's absolutely terrible but fuck it, I'll take a strike out after a couple home runs. My only wish is that every episode would name the Jew agenda.

Had to go to sleep after episode 2, and I know "we're" supposed to hate everything here, but I'm genuinely looking forward to the rest of the season more than any since probably season 3.

That part was good. And to be fair most of my dislike for it probably came from the fact that I was running 4 miles on the treadmill as I watched it
Only run watching stuff where people are being chased. I did it watching Jurassic park and it made the chase scenes as vivid as when I begged my parents to take me to go see the film when I was far too young

That sounds interesting actually. Would prolly be fun doing that to Terminator 1. Thats low-key the best chase movie of all time.
