I thought it pointed out how easily a "terrorist" could screw any world leader.

That's what I took away from it...

I'm already reading a lot of "It's SJW!" hate on the the last ep this season.

Bullshit.

I'm the first to hate on SJW nonsense but that's bullshit.

If you switch the sex and race of the protagonist and antagonist is it still a good story?

Why, yes, it is.

Do you gain something by keeping the sex/race the same for both? Is there a deeper meaning?

Yes, there is.

There's a huge difference between SJW nonsense and honest social commentary. I think this series gets that and doesn't dumb itself down...

They need to make an episode of Black Mirror where they put all those bitches in a rocket and launch it to Mars…

I'm only a couple episodes ahead of you and in my opinion that is by far the worst episode so far

I agree...but I didn't mind the eye candy

The reason for the march is they're extreme leftists that hate Trump.

These marches have as much to do with women's rights as Westboro Baptists had to do with "glorifying God."

We had a local march here. My wife and many of our friends (especially those with daughters) participated. It had little to do with Trump and had a lot to do with #metoo and other current issues surrounding women.

One of my favorite shows. Every episode is a different story so I wouldn't get discouraged by the 1st show.

My favorites are:

Shut up and Dance
Playtest
White Christmas
Hang the DJ
Black Museum
Men Against Fire

San Junipero is very thought provoking too even though I had to watch it 3 or 4 times to really appreciate it.

I'd add Hated In the Nation and Metalhead to that list.

I know several people who've said the same thing. Shame, I think a lot of people who would love the show can never make it past episode 1. Kind of wish the show didn't kick off with that one. I didn't mind the episode. I thought it was thought provoking

Ok, so I tried to watch this again after being told the first episode was the culprit for people not liking it, and I got 30 minutes into watching some dude ride his bike and watch porn ads before being bored out of my ****ing mind and turning it off.

I really enjoyed Electric Dreams on Amazon for the most part, and I kinda get the impression that this is supposed to be a least a little similar, but I'm just not feeling it with this show.

I'd suggest you start with White Christmas.

ROFL That's "15 Million Merits"

That's another rough one as an intro to the series although I personally enjoyed it.

As others have said...White Christmas is the one to start with. But for you, I'd moreso suggest Metalhead, Men Against Fire and Playtest...then perhaps Hated in the Nation and Black Museum after that.
