I can’t recommend that one highly enough! Don’t start with the pilot episode. (I really should have mentioned that in this podcast.) Be Right Back, The Entire History of You, San Junipero, and USS Callister might be good starting points.
I’ll always be a little stumped by their decision to pick that as the pilot! It’s gross enough in the general premise to really alienate a some viewers and is absent of a lot of what would really grow to define the show for me. Some of the hallmarks are there, but it’s hardly a primer on what to expect from the show. It’s grown on me over time all the same. But I find that disclaimer necessary lol.
I'm going to have to check out Black Mirror now. It sounds interesting. Thanks for the recommendation!

Why skip the pilot to start?
