I'm halfway through the new season, and I fear there's been a quality dip. The first three episodes seem to rehash the plots of previous ones, just with different characters.

I'm halfway through the new season, and I fear there's been a quality dip. The first three episodes seem to rehash the plots of previous ones, just with different characters.
it contains only 4 black mirror type of episodes :
1) Hang the DJ
2) Arkangel
3) Black Museum
4) USS Callister
but none compared with Nosedive - San Junipero ,White Christmas, or The Entire History of You
Okay, I finished the fourth season and here are my thoughts.
- USS Callister: recycled the idea from White Christmas with a few changes.
- Arkangel: recycled the ideas from The Entire History of You and Men Against Fire with a few changes.
- Crocodile: recycled The Entire History of You (again), but became sort of interesting after the bodies started piling up!
- Hang the DJ: sort of like Playtest, but definitely different enough to be good.
- Metalhead: would have been good if they'd given it a little more exposition and backstory; we don't know who the characters are, why no one else seems to be alive, who made those robotic dogs and why they're hellbent on seeking and destroying their targets...
- Black Museum: had elements from White Bear and White Christmas, but was different enough to be engaging; could be considered to be three episodes in one due to the three stories shown.
Oh, and there's a little something in Metalhead for those who just have to press the pause button every time they see text scroll by (like me).

what;s happening with the latest season - it was released ? delayed? because from what i quess it should be already released until now
The fifth season is going to be released this year, but that's all the information we've got at the moment.
The Bandersnatch interactive movie was released last year in lieu of a new season, although I passed on it because it has a ton of branches and multiple endings and I don't think film as a medium is good enough for that like visual novels and "choose your own adventure" books are.
yeah i saw Bandersnatch also - but from torrents not netflix - so it had only one ending for me - the ideea was good - or innovative - but implementing cuted the movie atmosphere - i see that ideea better applied in porn or erotic movies but with a wider are of selection
that made me confused also- no actual release date :confused:Quote:

3 episodes in season 5 - only 1 worth watching (last eP)
it felt like they had to release a new season without taking any pleasure to make it
at least season 4 had 6 episodes - is closer with season 1 wich had 3 episodes also - just that this time it dosen't feel so "high-tech about" episodes
i watched the first one of season 5 and it was very lame. the first 30min are completely wasted and the rest was not exactly gripping either. i had the impression they tried to create some kind of mix of what comparable shows have done but failed.
Alright, I finished season 5 yesterday.
Spoiler :
If the previous season was a 7, this one's an 8 for me, perhaps rounded up. Not in par with the first three, but still good. Also, plenty of surprises for those willing to hit the pause button at the right time (as a general rule, this should be done whenever a computer or phone screen is visible).
Season 6 has attempted to take the series on a different direction while retaining the overall "feel" of it. I can still recommend it, but be aware that technology plays a less central role on the plots than you'll have come to expect from previous episodes.
