    Amazing like the first season. Very dark, except the last one which was very funny. Brilliant with fantastic acting, writing, cinematography across the board.

    Season two of Black mirror gives us three more stand alone episodes focusing on the potential/dangers of modern and future technologies and, aside from a slightly disappointing ending to one episode, is every bit as well written as the first season. Its dark and twisted but it always makes for an intriguing watch.

    I love the pessimistic take on a trend in our modern, digital, tech-heavy lives. It's like Philip K Dick + William Gibson + The Twilight Zone.

    Darker than the first season, Black Mirror: Series 2 offers two exceptional stories and a third whose nature is happening across the world at this moment. The show continues to be thought-provoking, haunting and damn near perfect in terms of tension and acting.

    Be Right Back - 7/10
    A disappointing and uncharacteristically weak episode. The premise is fine, possibly great, but the characters are somewhat unlikable. It creeps in quiet, unexpecting ways, but fails to deliver a real punch (despite trying).

    White Bear - 8 - 8.5/10
    An amazing start to the episode which leaves us just as confused as the protagonist. The little details along the way make sense in hindsight, but do a good job of not giving too much away, maybe leaving us a little confused, but certainly putting viewers in suspense. The episode wraps up a little messily but feels like a return to form.

    The Waldo Moment - 7/10
    An overall intriguing a well-conducted episode, though the premise, background, and general story is weak, in what ends up a considerably weaker "The National Anthem". It is essentially the same universe as the pilot, perhaps a sequel, with the public dumber as ever. Unfortunately, this one fails effective patience and character development that made an episode like "Fifteen Million Merits" great. It all unfolds rather fast and feels rushed, though maybe that's intentional.

    White Christmas - 9/10
    This one fires on all cylinders taking the best elements of previous episodes, tapping into the greatness of the first season, and producing very few flaws (if at all), which are well covered by the action. The episode kicks off by leaving us confused like "White Bear", but doesn't shy away from patience and a slow build-up. We're as clueless as the "protagonist" it seems, and the delivery of the final blow is brilliant and unsuspecting. This may be the series' first episode where there truly is no real protagonist, but, paired with the premise, and one character attempting to convince another that they are the protagonist, the audience, and this central character are effectively convinced as long as the episode needs. In the end, we, as well as the character can't help but seriously question ourselves, though the critical point of the episode is long past. Some details may be slightly murky or unnecessary along the way, but they are handled in humorous fashion.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This season was terrific and it was better than season 1 and more enjoyable to me. Episode 1, Be Right Back, is my favorite episode of season 2 and I give it a 10 out of 10. The writing, concept, and story in Be Right Back were exceptional and it was really weird, cool, funny, and sad. The acting in Be Right Back was phenomenal especially from Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson. Episode 2, White Bear, was a great episode with a terrific story and twist ending but it was my least favorite episode of season 2. The acting in White Bear was fantastic especially from Lenora Crichlow, Michael Smiley, and Tuppence Middleton. I give episode 2, White Bear, a 8 out of 10. Episode 3, The Waldo Moment, was really funny and had excellent writing and a excellent story. The acting and voice over from Daniel Rigby was stupendous and hilarious. I liked this one better than White bear but it wasn't my favorite episode of the season. I give episode 3, The Waldo Moment, a 9 out of 10. This was a A+ season.… Expand

    The episodes were not as good as some of the first season, but still they bring some moments. 'The Waldo Moment' is quiet average.

    "White Bear": O episódio foi um dos mais impressionantes da série. Um excelente plot twist!

    "The Waldo Moment": Que episódio fraquinho... Pelo menos, representou a realidade da política atual no mundo.

    "White Christmas" (especial de Natal): Eu só estou triste por não ter reparado nas referências dos episódios anteriores. Sou capaz de ver outra vez...    … Expand

    Amazing series fueled by development of modern society. Visions provided in this show are not so sci-fi when you think it through, let's just look at China... Some episodes are weaker than best ones, but I guarantee that you'll get hooked. Just skip the first episode if you can't stand it and watch an EXTRA Christmas episode!

    Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing

    A good season.

    Since I watched it two weeks ago, I don't remember the episodes precisely, but I can say they were good. Not better than season 1, though. Waldo's conclusion sound exaggerated to me; White Bear was not impactful like I remembered (when the plot twist is good, doesn't matter that much when you know it, cuz the development is fun to watch); and Be Right Back dropped the    A good season.
