      I watched until season 6 and all of it was really amazing. Is S7 bad?

        Nah, not particularly… If you like it up til then, you will probably like it.

        It’s not that I think it got bad or anything, but I think there was a noticeable drop in quality from season 3 to season 4 (the second Netflix season).

        The first two seasons, when it was still on Channel 4 in the UK, were just so fucking good. Only a few episodes each, but man. And the Christmas episode with Jon Hamm, goddamn. So fucking good. Some of the best sci-fi ever put to film imo.

        Then Netflix bought it. Season 3 was good, it had some bangers (I imagine Charlie Brooker had some of the plots ready to go already). Then… I don’t know maybe it’s because they were pushed to write like 3x more episodes per season? The quality suffered.

        The show is still solid, and I will watch the new season for sure. But I don’t know, it’s just not the same as it was.

      Yeah, I know someone who won’t watch that episode again because of how unsettling it is. Luckily for them, it’s slowly becoming reality.
