Please provide me with the best dozen or so episodes of Black Mirror, any season. I’ve only ever watched the first three episodes of season one (pig one, biking/porn one, cheating one at dinner party or something) and liked them but it felt a little too tryhard to me. I did like them though. I also saw the interactive film.

1. Eulogy
2. Hang the DJ
3. Smithereens
4. The Entire History of You
5. USS Callister
6. Joan is Awful
7. Beyond the Sea
8. Bandersnatch

Completely subjectively, I'd say the best (I'm not counting them) were:
15 Million Merits - mostly because I really dig Daniel Kaluya as an actor. It took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Entire History of You - the cheating one.
White Christmas - An anthology within an anthology episode, it builds on some of the ideas from previous episodes. Plus, Jon Hamm is always a delight in everything.
Shut Up and Dance - This one is disturbing, mostly for the final twist at the end - this show doesn't do those often, but when it does, whew.
San Junipero - Dare I say, it has a happy ending? And it was right after Shut Up and Dance, so that was not what I expected at all.
USS Callister - As a lifelong Trekkie, this one was awesome.
Arkangel - Basically every parent's nightmare turns out to be themselves.
Joan is Awful - A fun dive into simulated realities.
Beyond the Sea - The acting from Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett is fantastic.
Common People - Chris O'Dowd, the sense of desperation in this one is palpable.
Eulogy - Already discussed, Paul Giamatti deserves an Emmy for this.

I believe Netflix has actually removed Bandersnatch.

I think I was one of the few who enjoyed Bandersnatch. We played it out to its final conclusion to hit every possible ending, it was a lot of fun on a rainy Saturday with nothing else to do.
 
You know it was kind of weird how many Black Mirror episodes dealt with future tech implants that record the user's life and were replayable or other implants that allowed them to interact with each other or a version of the internet. These were pervasive. Even a version of this was used in Eulogy, although it wasn't an implant.
 
Anyone watch Emily the Criminal? I watched a third of it the other day…solid…idk…I really have trouble sticking with films or shows…99.8% are just regurgitated media in a lesser form.
