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.

    Yeah, I bailed on the final episode because the rest was so underwhelming, and the last episode was bordering on feature length.

    It’s a shame because I’m a big fan of Charlie Brooker, I loved the earlier seasons.

    I thought Joan Is Awful was alright, but too much time was spent on the premise and the twist felt rushed. Loch Henry was good, but not the “what would happen if <insert sci-fi tech> was real” type premise that I’ve come to expect from the show. Beyond the Sea was about 40 minutes too long. Mazey Day… I have no idea what they were thinking.

    I genuinely wish I liked it more, but this is two underwhelming seasons in a row for me now 😕

      Loch Henry would have ended in his mother’s bedroom if or the kitchen table if it was season 1 or 2
