Loved the first season, but as this second season focuses almost entirely on Versace's killer - and he's a dull, whiny idiot - this season has been a major drag.
carambaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!! So much has happened this season. I'm very in love with everything
Black Mirror went from sick, dystopian futures to... VR romance, social media and a kid's comedy with Miley Cyrus.
I see why shows get worse over time, but I can't wrap my head around the fact that Charlie Brooker is responsible for both the masterpieces that this show has produced and the big question mark that is this fifth season.
Good quality 20s era series of which there are so few. Germany at the time was fighting against Communists but there are a couple other interesting plot elements in this series. Boardwalk Empire is another. Thanks NetFlix!
Season 2, in my opinion, was just a little bit too much of everything. Too many twists, too many side storied, too much violence. On the other hand it lacked in mystigue. The implied story of the evolution of an AI into independence degenerates into the old story of the search for immortality. With the upper echelon having the upper hand because of their money. As for the violence in this season: I don't think it was nessessary. In S1 the violence shown by the guests towards the hosts made sense to underline that human thought of them as toys, as a lower form of existence. After all, a host can't die so what do we care. Now it seems violence is just there to be there, everything has to be bloody. And we have a load of muscle packed, stupid security that gets shot down at every instance.
While watching further and further I wondered how this could ever generate into a third season. To be honest I am totally fine if the ending of this season beeing the end of the show. A kind of open ending where you can let your imagination fill in the rest. We know that a third season is already confirmed and the post credit scene of the final episode layed the foundation. But I am not sure it would be a direction that interests me.
First season it was ok,
second one booorrrring
just watched now the final episode, didnt understand nothing of that and i was thinking to myself what a waste of my time watching this episodes
if you read this, avoid the second season, and remember the first one.
i'm quite disappointed on how even people waste money producing this :\
First season was amazing and I loved it !
This second season was slow from the start and had to force myself to go on watching it.
I was hoping that it would get better...well, made it to the end and it was boring !
Nothing happens, it's way too complicated to stay focused and to understand the too twisted plot.
What a huge disappointment !
I adored the first season and eagerly binge watched the entirety in a day but with this season it's taken me over a week to get 5 episodes in. I'm not 100% sure why but this season just feels a little off and it's really quite dull.
By far a better season than the first full of different emotions,interesting new characters,strong writing and plot and of course the amazing usual Lindelof's fictitious elements!!
