I love Black Mirror, and you have to admit it's referring to real issues with technology; and also, the first episode is hilaaaaaaarious! 

poor pig... 

and apparently they're doing a Christmas special for it this year. Can't wait. 

where did you get 4 from?

s1 also has two of the best episodes IMHO, the 2nd and 3rd one. S2's first 2 episodes are quite good but the 3rd is very average. 

There are indeed only two seasons, of three episodes each. Pretty sure the Christmas special isn't going to count as a season...

'Fifteen Million Merits' (season one, episode 2) was one of my favorite things seen in 2014, in any visual medium. Such a wonderful skewering of the most distasteful trends in entertainment. 

 

Watching the film second and the show first was a bad idea, since it's probably a really good movie, but I just can't muster up any appreciation for it. 

CLASSIC Black Mirror, just as good as anything else they've done so far, though some ideas in it were retreads; overall, the same mix of paranoid, uncomfortable, horrifying, and hilarious that this show has made so distinct. 

 

A high quality entry into the Black Mirror series. Not disappointing at all, among the best the best episodes. 

Felt like I was watching a classic Nolan film. 

I just rewatched The Hangover. Haha - f* awesome movie :)
Hangover 2 was not a bad sequel, but the reviews put me off seeing Hangover 3. Anyone seen it ? 

 

 

Hangover 2 just Hangover 1?

(notice I didn't put a 'but with' in there)

Why would you need to see 3.

Just watch Between Two Ferns. 

Hick Walter White meets Hick Anton Chigurh. We'll see where this goes. 

One of the best things to air in 2014. You are in store for some great stuff. 

If Breaking Bad was an anthology show, wherein the 62 episodes of Walt's story were season 1, Fargo could very easily be season 2 of that show. 

Just watched Fargo, the movie, and I wish I had not broken my "never watch any Coen again". It could be a fantastic movie with just 5 minutes of Yeah, Jeez, Oh Yeah absurdity cut. Yes, of course it is for the setting and blah but seriously? I wonder if there are fan cuts of uncoenified movies out there somewhere. 

So I'm not the only one that finds the Coen's totally hit and miss? They tend to try to make things all awkward and uncomfortable, so that when I'm watching sometimes I think "I know what you're doing as a filmmaker, and I just want you to know: fuck you." But then they make like, No Country For Old Men. Fargo THE SERIES was great by the way (yep I binge watched it) - so great that it is apparently considered a rival to True Detective (that might be going a bit far).

I'm curious as to what provoked such a ban. I mean, they have made some movies everyone admits are classics. I only have a ban on a few directors such as Tarantino (ducks). 

Agree, don't like his movies at all. 

I enjoyed True Detective a lot but Fargo was the better series by far. 

I did really like True Detective, but it never lived up to the promise of the first five episodes. The Yellow King, Carcosa, the involvement of key players in Southern politcal power structures...all the hints of something huge didn't add up to much in the end. The focus narrowed just when I thought it was ripe for expansion.

Fargo was far more consistent from start to finish. 

Does anyone here watch Banshee? This current season (3) has been all-time great. It revels in pure insanity and kickassery, yet the artistry of its direction and editing is almost peerless among television. I'm endlessly fascinated by the non-linear fashion in which most of its more emotional scenes are cut.

Anyway, it's great. Highly recommended.. 

First season had some of the most intense TV moments in recent years for me and it has been quite good. Second season was a bit hit and miss, and the third season is better again.
