I haven't watched all of the episodes, but from what I have seen it's been great.
Watched White Christmas last night... and it's a doozy, but I highly recommend people give it a shot and since Black Mirror is an anthology series, you don't have to watch the previous season (though I think there are very minor background linkages among the episodes as things progress.) For the episode itself, you're in for a treat if you're a fan of a certain series lead from a certain period drama from AMC.
I skipped around San Junipero from Season 3 after seeing Redditors rave about the episode and because of Mackenzie Davis. Great concept for a story and definitely worth viewing.
I talked about USS Callister from Season 4 in the Star Trek thread and again I say that it's worth a watch. I was sold once I saw Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson in the cast.. but Jesse Plemons fucking knocked the episode out of the park.
Hang the DJ... oh man. Maybe it's because of my age and the thematic matter of the episode, but fuck that's a definite must recommend from my end. [Reply]
I went back and watched 'The Entire History of You' just for the **** of it. God damn that episode is a masterpiece. Even on a re-watch it still managed to make me sick to my stomach like it did the first time. [Reply]

It was a great episode. I haven't rewatched a single one, not for any reason in particular. Maybe thought the majority were good with a single viewing. [Reply]
Caught up on season 5. As underwhelming as the the second and third episodes were the first made up for it. Wow. First one was all kinds of new levels of ****ed up [Reply]

I liked the last episode but it didn't really feel black mirror. I'm actually really surprised they didn't go much darker toward the end. The second episode might just be one of the worst in the series [Reply]
Supposedly the three episodes of S5 are ordered according to an algorithm that builds off your watch history. So what's E1 to you is E3 to five different people.
Anyway, I watched Striking Vipers and Smithereens. Both were good but I have a feeling people are going to be butthurt with the former. [Reply]

I just didn't get smithereens. I thought the reveal fell completely flat which is kind of a signature black mirror move. [Reply]
