First episode was my favorite of the season. Really liked the Men Against Fire episode too.

Anyone watch episode 6? It's the longest one. I watched playtest and San Junipero. What season 3 ep should I watch next?

I thought San Junipero (episode 4) was beautiful. Epiodes 2 and 3 were good too. I disliked the rest.

It shouldn't have moved to the US. Far too much in the nose.

I actually had to bail on episode 1, but episode 2 was better.

Watched one last night and enjoyed it immensely. Anyone care to rank these? Only 13 or so total eps right?

This show seriously fucks with your head man. Pretty fucking cool.

Can't get my wife to watch it. I told her the plot of the first episode, and she just said, "I wish I didn't even know that plot. I'm not going to watch that."

She didn't even react that way when I explained the plot of Human Centipede.

Fuck. I made myself think about the plot of Human Centipede. :cry:

Shut up and Dance blew my mind. I think it may be the best one, especially with Exit music added in at the end.

Nosedive doesn't have the same "pain in the pit of my stomach" mindfuck that the original show had. I'm glad to know it comes back around.

Haven't watch it yet, but I did like San Junipero very much.

San Junipero and Shut up are the best ones.
