I’ve watched season 1 through 6 and there definitely were more than one episodes that just left me feeling like crap… But there’s so many incredible episodes intermixed, like San Juniperno, that has made me keep coming back.

Today I watched the first episode of season 7, Common People, and… I just can’t. It’s done me in.

I have a question for those who have watched the remainder of the episodes. Are there any episodes that end on any sort of positive note or are they all this dreadful?

Maybe it’s just not for me anymore. I get the premise behind Black Mirror, but there is something about this episode that just kind of shoved me past a point that I’m not sure it’s worth it for me to keep watching.

    Are you asking if an episode of a show named “Black Mirror”, one of the darkest bleakest most terrifying and true-to-life-as-we-live tv shows, which predicted so much of our current reality in the most real sense, ends in a positive light?! Seriously???

    This is a “is you taking notes in a criminal conspiracy case??” level question.

    Listen, I know you won’t like this, and I’m sure this comment will get downvoted to oblivion but there are shows that have happy endings, shows that supposedly renew our hope in our fellow humans and our species and shows that demonstrate how “novel” and “likable” we all are, or hope to be. But Black Mirror, ain’t it!! Seriously, if you want all that sappy kumbaya BS that every other show tends to aspire to, why not watch those other shows? Please leave just one show to how depraved self-serving self-centered and despicable humans are.
