I’m done episode 3 and I’m going “ugh”. Not in the same way that the first 5 seasons had me going UGH but still an unsettling feeling in my gut about the story Charlie Brooker is trying to tell. Ep 1 and 2 were pretty good on that front but I feel like ep 3 turned on a dime in believable character actions.
I watched the first two, really didn’t like them at all, checked discussions online and saw that there were very mixed reactions, but basically decided that the rest of the season just wasn’t for me. I enjoyed the dystopic futuristic elements of the other seasons, and while I guess it’s ok to deviate from that, I didn’t feel obligated to watch.
