I’m in the middle of the Christmas special from Season 2. I had to read through some episode summaries to figure out what the heck was going on in the previous episodes. Now that I know it’s all about technology, I understand it a tiny bit more. I’m usually so confused that I sit there thinking “This is just so dumb.” The Christmas one seems okay - so far.

This is what we enjoy about Black Mirror, too! Yes, technology can do some wonderful things, but it can also have a dark side. But watching this show has reinforced why we don't want an Alexa or Google Home device. Who wants Big Brother listening and recording you???

We watched Playtest (from Season 3, I think?) last night. THAT was really disturbing -- I told my son we'd have to discuss it later and I'm still trying to unpack it. I only got the whole "levels of play" thing this morning. I think (it was kind of like "Inception", I think). Charlie Booker would be an interesting dinner companion, though.

Hazel, I am such a chicken. I never watched "The Shining." My husband and son watched it a few winters ago at night during a snowstorm with high winds, which is the creepiest way to see it. They kept the lights off. I stayed upstairs reading a book!
Metalhead was the one with the robotic dog. I have to look up "Playtest." My son said the last episode of Season four has the actor who played the character Todd on Breaking Bad, and Aaron Paul's voice is in the episode. I definitely want to watch that next! Sherry

But I'll have to go back and look for Jesse Plemons. I wonder which one he was -- he is such a chameleon, I'm not surprised I missed it -- it took me until the fourth or fifth episode of Season 2 of Fargo to realize he was the butcher married to Kirsten Dunst.

He's in the 2nd or 3rd to last episode of latest season. Has a Star Trek kinda theme. At first I felt sorry for him and definitely changed my mind!
