Hasn't anyone noticed that the Meow Meow Beenz app was used identically for a Black Mirror episode? It's basically the same plot but treated differently

Booo, no murderous games this episode
also, out of all those 201 players, they're divided just in the middle between continuing the game or not
what a coincidence
very likely

So, Claudia wins Dark, not Adam, not Eve

Why are welistening so much to the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem?
I'm sure it's no coincidence

Wow, such a good representation of a mental illness.
Very powerful scenes and very well condensed in 30 minutes
It also reminded me of the recent performance of Aya Cash in You're the worst.

Madeline & Ed breaking up just broke my heart x3. Once for each of them individually being so misreable and another one for them as a couple
Plus Adam Scott really gets to show off his great acting here, Reese too, but that's more usual (which doesn't mean I apprciate it any less)

The design of the internet worl is very cool, and the references too.
What I didn't like so much is how predictable each twist of the story was, and even less all the morals and messages the movie wants to shove down our throats every five minutes. It was so focused on telling us that Ralph was a bad friend that I was tired by half of the movie, even kids will get tired of that.
It's a shame, because the idea of letting a friend go and evolve is very basic for every age, and not used very often, it has a lot of potential, but if they just use it at the end and by then I'm tired of the othe million messages, it goes to waste.

Really cool, but the fact that there's another Romanoff that was supposed to go with his wife but by chance she cancelled on the same cruise of the main character that had to go without her husband is too much of a coincidence to be believable.

I'm starting to get tired of Coach Steve, I don't like his stories in this season and he's getting too much attention, I'd rather see only the teens as main characters.
I loved every part of this episode except for his parts (still, the idea of making the sex-ed class to him is spot-on)

For a moment I genuinly thought they were gonna wipe off the show half of the cast of this season

I don't know about the episodes left, but for me this was THE episode so far. BTW I don't get why everybody is hating Justin so much and not Bryce, like, what the hell? The first one still deserves it though.

Lately this has been feeling rather uninspired
Copying and pasting what’s been in the US news for the past few years doesn’t make any kind of interesting commentary that hasn’t been done a thousand times already
It takes a bit more of imagination and moral digging to make something impactful other than having supes as an added synonym for privilege

Conclusion: economy=psychology
Other than that it still was an enjoyable close to the show

It was pointing in some right directions, but in the end it's just less sharp than it thinks itself to be
I wouldn't say subtle, because it's not at any point pretending to be anything less than in your face

This was definitely the siblings' episode and it was amazing. Fucking Shiv's coming! Yeah it's not like I don't understand Tom and feel for him and such, but I'm team Roy children for some reason because I'm too attached by now to ever root for anyone else above them. Roman's heart breaking on camera was pretty chilling to watch, too

I was starting to doubt whether they could blow my mind for the finale when the setting for it didn't seem like the most high stakes ever. I was once again proven that trusting the people in charge of making this will always be the right choice

Sibling conflict finally at its finest. Man, it breaks my heart and I love it.
Chills
This might end up at the top of the whole show with all that tension so meticulously handled.
Also, Alexander Skarsgard, yet another great guest actor that almost goes unnoticed while being the guiding theme of the episode

Roman has come a long way from season 1. So much more now behind the clown, he has become quite an interesting player.
Wouldn't be surprised if he ended at the top, just because he is the only sibling willing to sneak through the nasty shit and still come on top like his father

I feel Shiv getting closer by each episode to getting pushed away, similarities with Kendall arising faster. Maybe by the end of the season we'll get a sibling alliance? Will he forgive her for trashing him personally if it's in the interest of ending with their father's reign?

Literal chills. Nicholas Brittel has outdone himself once more with this season's soundtrack
Waiting to see how Kendall crashes this season and quite surprised with Roman's humanity here

This was a good show, and I liked this idea of "endless trauma" that they're going with, but I can't help but feel like I liked it much better at the beginning than this final episode
It starts with a punch, and it ends with a fade

So. It really was a bunch of bored rich dudes after all

Wow isn't it fun all that misogyny plus killing good characters in a way that hurts the most, all in the same episode

I'm not unhappy they get a happy ending per se, but what a f*ing decaffeinated ending for a story that was going so strong

Even if it's just in Frances' writing (which is a theory I don't dislike), it still feels lacking in execution and packing a punch. Particularly Masha's resolution

I was really enjoying this so far with its flaws, but this episode was truly terrible
Julien and Zoya are behaving inconsistently for the whole hour, and the conflict is so sloppy... a huge mess

Again, why am I still watching this show?

So brutal and emotional. Invincible/Mark works perfectly as the stereotypically good main character we love to follow

Maybe it wasn't the most well-rounded episode of the season (which only speaks of the level of the other episodes) but it has one of the key parts of Rue and Nate's characters. And that ending!

I just know that this show is my fucking religion now

I liked this way more than I was expecting. I kinda feel that the characters have more potential than the supernatural plot, though

Who would have though there's a world outside the US/UK?
Certainly not me during this mockumentary

Just entertaining enough, mostly worth it for Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant. It starts way stronger than it ends

Though it's curious to see that when they get to May and the BLM they switch to documentary and patch it up with a couple of bad, evident jokes about a racist Karen, a black Boris Johnson and such, all traces of subtlety and acid humor gone for practically the rest of the film.
I mean it's December, we've already seen plenty of pieces about it months ago, and much better ones. It wasn't funny nor informative.
And I wasn't eager to hear all about the election for 25 minutes straight either just a mere month later.
