Black Mirror returns on December 29th! Jesus, I'm not ready for this. I'm preparing myself mentally. Watching Black Mirror is a form of self-inflicted torture.

I re-watched a bunch of these episodes because why binge something new I'm reworking the middle part of my list a little. I swapped Shut Up and Dance and Nosedive around. They're still really close, but I still find SUAD really gripping even on re-watch whereas Nosedive has slower moments. I also moved Hated in the Nation up a few spaces as that was a better re-watch. I bumped Playtest down a few, because even though I really like that episode it didn't hold up as well with a rewatch. Entire History of You held up a little better. 1) 15 Million Merits 2) Be Right Back 3) San Junipero 4) Shut Up And Dance 5) Nosedive 6) White Christmas 7) Hated In The Nation 8) The Entire History Of You 9) Playtest 10) The National Anthem 11) White Bear 12) Men Against Fire 13) The Waldo Moment Not that anyone cares but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just finished S4. Overall pretty good. The only episode I didn’t like was ArkAngel. It’s a very accurate portrayal of helicopter parents, but it made for a pretty weak episode of Black Mirror, IMO. The actress playing the teenage version of the daughter was poorly cast too. I love Jodie Foster, but there wasn’t much to like with this one, unfortunately. Hang the DJ was by far my favorite, and might be top 5-ish for me. I’m glad Tim Van Patten got a good one to direct. After my initial watch I’d probably have them:
Hang the DJ Black Museum USS Callister Crocodile Metalhead ArkAngel

@nictarion I've still to watch Black Museum, but so far my ranking is the same as yours, only I would swap Metalhead and Arkangel. I agree the teenage daughter was miscast (I know it's normal to cast older actors as teenagers but jfc that girl did NOT look 15), but I thought the episode itself was fine, it was just massively let down by the ending. I really hated that ending. Metalhead was so blergh. Really struggled to get into it. If I had been invested in the characters I might have liked it, but I really didn't care for any of them. Hang the DJ tho. What a cracker. Loved it.
Will post a final season ranking tomorrow once I've watched Black Museum.

So Black Museum slots between USS Callister and Crocodile. It was below Crocodile until the ending, which I thought was excellent so it got bumped up a little.
Final ranking:
Hang the DJ USS Callister Black Museum Crocodile Arkangel Metalhead

I'm not sure how they fit into my overall list yet, but my ranking of S4 is 1) Arcangel 2) Hang the DJ 3) USS Callister 4) Crocodile 5) Black Museum 6) Metalhead
I'm still a bit torn on Crocodile/Black Museum. I liked Black Museum, but it felt like Easter Egg overload and a bit too on the nose. It was like watching Black Mirror Greatest Hits. I did like the lead actress better in Black Museum than I did in Crocodile.
Metelhead is easily my least favorite, and that will end up in the bottom three of my list overall. I really liked the atmosphere and it was so creepy, but it felt completely pointless by the end.
Hang the DJ and Arcangel were my favorites. Both are close so I may switch them around too. I think they'll be outside of my top 5 on my list overall.

I haven't seen any of the new episodes yet, cause I've spent the last days playing video games. But ArkAngel was the one that looked the most interesting to me. The fact that @nictarion and @fireandblood hated it, but day dreamer loved it is intriguing. Because I often agree with your opinions when it comes to movies and TV. So this divide between you is interesting.

I saw someone online say ArkAngel felt like an after school special (Non-Americans and younger people might not be familiar with those) and now I can’t not think of it that way.

You guys are so damn fast. All I've seen so far is USS Callister and I fucking loved it. Didn't exactly seem like a Black Mirror episode but it had the feel of a really engaging, satisfying, emotionally resonant blockbuster. No one seems to have it as their favourite, which either means Hang the DJ is excellent, or it didn't register quite the same for everyone else?
Gonna hit one a night for the rest of the week now. Can't wait.
