Black Mirror?
I haven't watched all of the episodes, but from what I have seen it's been great.

Watched White Christmas last night... and it's a doozy, but I highly recommend people give it a shot and since Black Mirror is an anthology series, you don't have to watch the previous season (though I think there are very minor background linkages among the episodes as things progress.) For the episode itself, you're in for a treat if you're a fan of a certain series lead from a certain period drama from AMC.

I skipped around San Junipero from Season 3 after seeing Redditors rave about the episode and because of Mackenzie Davis. Great concept for a story and definitely worth viewing.

I talked about USS Callister from Season 4 in the Star Trek thread and again I say that it's worth a watch. I was sold once I saw Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson in the cast.. but Jesse Plemons ****ing knocked the episode out of the park.

Hang the DJ... oh man. Maybe it's because of my age and the thematic matter of the episode, but **** that's a definite must recommend from my end.

I've got nothing going on this morning so I'll see if I can finish it.

OK. The second half did pick up and I enjoyed it well enough. Also I will now refer to the troublesome desktop at work as the com-puta.

Yeah, guess maybe i shoulda read the thread instead of only the last few posts.

Because that was definitely man ****ing pig.

Yeah, the first episode was pretty disturbing. They can be rather uneven; I did enjoy the Star Trek based one. It's a lot later in the series.

I tell everyone to NOT start with that episode. Smooth sailing the rest of the way.

Can’t even begin to tell you how many people I’ve heard stopped watching black mirror because of the pig episode. Netflix needs to resort their season 1 so this doesn’t pop up first.

It's not like they actually show anything; more like the old days where they let your imagination do the work of the special effects team.

I get that. I’ve known several people who still couldn’t get past that episode purely for that reason. Just the thought of it was too much. I think they would’ve tolerated it if they started with a different episode first

Hang the DJ and The Entire History of You. Probably somewhere in my top 10 of BM episodes.

On another note, season six was ****ing terrible. Made us wait that long for a steaming pile of mediocrity. There really is not jack shit in good TV anymore outside of Severance and House of Dragons with Netflix pretty much phoning in the past BM season.
