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]

95% of episodes leave you feeling uncomfortable afterward (not unlike watching Case Keenum manage an offense). There's very little uplifting. But that's part of the show's brilliance. [Reply]

Was a lot of fun....
My ending:
Spoiler!
Killed dad, ended up in jail, bandersnatch got 2.5 stars. It's weird though....as I kept going and things reset and I saw 2-3 more possibilities (put password of "TOY", got the bunny....went with "mom" on the train, died on train ....therefore, died in therapy room). Guess there was an ending that you can get 5 stars rating for the game too that I didnt get. Good time though.
Apparently once you see "go to credits" it's over.......but you can "reset" and see other paths before a hard-stop. [Reply]

To me it's the closest thing to a spiritual successor to the Twilight Zone. [Reply]

So, is this like a Pick a Path movie?
Interdasting.
I assume you can watch multiple times and make multiple choices?... [Reply]

It’s a Choose Your Own Adventure episode.
I got all 5 main endings, including a 5 star game review. [Reply]
Checked out Bandersnatch, very fun. I didn't really like how it made you choose some paths to advance in the story though. If they didn't want you to choose a certain path they shouldn't have offered it. [Reply]
