Honestly, the second episode "Fifteen Million Merits" was the most soul crushing thing I had ever watched, the first episode paled in comparison. Then again, I'm not a pig so clearly Peppa would be a little more traumatized.

I smoked my first blunt before turning on Fifteen Million Merits, my first episode of Black Mirror. Everyone online told me to watch it before Ep. 1.

My emotion was heightened by 10 fold from THC.

I hate this show so much I have watched every episode multiple times.

True joy does not exist to me anymore.

I can totally see that. The episode "White Bear" from the second season was one I should not have watched in such a state. I was quite shaken afterwards, that one might be worse than "Fifteen Million Merits".

I did "shut up and dance" and it scared the shit out of me. Like that could be happening right this minute. Im actually kind of surprised such a scenario hasn't turned up in the news.

Most episodes involve some fictional futuristic technology being abused, but that was one of the few episodes that involved only technology that definitely exists today.

  • National Anthem
  • Waldo Moment (arguable, as it would definitely take some tinkering to set up that kind of Vtuber system, not just using an off-the-shelf system)
  • Hang the DJ (arguable, assuming what we are seeing is just a fictionalization of a bunch of software simulations)
  • Metalhead (arguable, as robot dogs do not seem quite that advanced yet, but definitely soon)
  • Bandersnatch (arguable that the multiple timelines and everything are just the character hallucinating or whatever)
  • Smithereens
  • Loch Henry
  • Mazey Day (though the technology is absolutely contemporary, it does feature a mythological creature or whatever)
  • Demon 79 (while it takes place in the past with just old technology, it features supernatural shenanigans again)

EDIT: Fifteen Million Merits is also barely futuristic technology.
