Nah buddy I'm already getting my blasters ready (USS callister joke haha)
I think it's a bit of both nostalgia and feeling like its a low budget re-watch because I feel like they are running out of fresh ideas, this is easily confirmable by their decision to make a sequel to their USS callister episode. Or was it because USS Callister was one of their best episodes ? Who knows.

yeah, i agree.
The head thing was also very very repetitive.
Also game world getting mixed with irl .. again repetitive.
Episode 1 was low hanging fruit to hit everyone hard.. and they did go hard with that that ending.
People can relate to subscription/evil corp/expensive healthcare.. there you go, episode 1 has everyone taking.. oh it's black mirror..!
but not much daring afterwards.

Yes, I have watched 3-4 seasons through multiple tries but always ended up quitting once the cringe becomes too much. And yeah, I like Michael when he is vulnerable and child-like, and I actually like Carell a lot, his acting is what makes me want to sit through it. I can see I am contradicting myself here a bit, but I like child-like Michael, I hate watching cringe Michael when he makes it uncomfortable for everyone else. It is what it is.

I love Community and Parks and Rec (after S3). The cringe factor played by Pierce in Community or Tom/Aziz in PnR are peripheral and somehow easily ignored.

I never got past watching more than a couple of episodes of season 1 of The Office. The shaky camera and fast panning was enough to trigger a headache and feeling of vertigo that I stopped watching it.

Two episodes so far!

Black Mirror is one rare series which delivers season after season. May be one episode stories as a format is working for them, but to come up with so many stories and deliver them consisitently is no mean feat.

Sometime I think BM and True Detective S1 kinda shows should be banned. They raise the bar so high, we feel disappointed when warching other decent content! :)
