Any good? Will anyone watch these all at once, would be hard work. Am looking forward to it though.
 
Watched the first one with Bryce Dallas Howard and it was canny. Enjoyed it. Ironically, as soon as it finished Netflix popped up with one of its usual prompts asking me to rank the show!
 
Will watch these next week. The first two were great.
 
I watched the first two last night. Both of them were really good especially the second.

It's scary how close we are getting to the first one
 
Just binge watched the whole series! Just kept thinking I'll Just Watch One more.

Episode 6 is full feature length, the rest just an hour each. "Shut Up and Dance" would have benefitted from being longer as well.

Episode 5 was the only one a bit disappointing.

Same here. First one (Nosedive) was okay but could have done with 20 mins lopped off, kind of seen that message before and the point was overly done. Still not bad, just average.

loved the second one (playtest). Really scary some of the shit in it like, pretty much a full on horror.
 
Watched the 3rd one earlier which was really gripping and dark with a brilliant ending
 
Watched the first two and thought they where very average to be honest, trying to hard to be different but succeeds in just being boring really.

I agree. Watched the first two and they're really slow. The characterisation is shit and the writing is canny cheesey. The writing lacks any deftness or sparkle. The first one seemed to just keep repeating the same idea over and over and the second one is a straight rip off of Total Recall. I notice Brooker wasn't involved in the writing - they're just his ideas developed by a different writing team.

I'm still going to watch another one to see if it gets any better, but I agree, I also found the characters in the first one, very irritating

The first episode "Nosedive" is the only one of the third series not written (or at least co-written) by Charlie Brooker, it was based on a story by Charlie Brooker though.

All the others were written by Charlie Brooker except "Shut Up and Dance" which he co-write with William Bridges.

In previous series, they were all him except "The Entire History of You" was written by Jesse Armstrong and "Fifteen Million Merits" which Charlie Brooker co-wrote with his wife.
 
Watched the first half of the first one last night - really disappointed. Boring, frankly. Turned it off as the wife was clearly not enjoying it.

Shame, as I really like the all the others
 
Not sure what to think so far, only watched the first 2, the first one was just ok and I was dissapointed with the ending in the second one.

I'll still stick with it though
