Hopefully this means he'll finally have time to do another Yearly Wipe.

[jellycar]

he’s meant to be doing a screenwipe during lockdown, so i’m excited for that

[xpirate_queenx]

Yay!

[waxandstrings]

i'd be here for a second of lighter, happy episodes. or at least eps that aren't all bleak/have happy or hopeful endings

[addictedgal]

Yeah tbh I have only watched select episodes of Black Mirror, two of which are supposedly their happiest (?), Hang the DJ and San Junipero which I loved.

I also watched Be Right Back and Nosedive but am wary to try some of the others!

[waxandstrings]

yeah, those are probably the good ones if you're avoiding doom and gloom. uss callister also has a hopeful ending and is fun. black museum is dark in the middle but a happy ending. striking vipers was more about human/relationships than anything bad (tho i can't remember how i felt about the quality of the ep itself), as well as rachel, jack and ashley too (again, quality is questionable, but it's on the lighter/happier side). the rest are pretty dark/depressing, but some are really good

You should watch Shut Up and Dance next!!!

(Except J/K...)

[ugotnothinonme]

yes it is

Watch Upload on Amazon Prime instead !

[backwardsjoker]

I watched Upload this week while doing my hair - it's alright! It's a BM + Good Place hybrid. I just didn't like the last ep

[shayme]

That show is trash.

[doriiansz]

Amazon? Really? *sighs*

[slinkydinks]

I dunno, some of the Black Mirror dystopia's suddenly seem relatively more inviting these days.

Ha I finally watch S5 last night.
Yeah umm it was more like twilight zone lite than black mirror.
