This is my favorite episode of the season. It serves as a sort of spiritual companion piece to the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” in that both texts argue that all of our memories, even the painful ones, are important and make us who we are.

I didn’t put that together, but you’re totally right! That’s a favorite movie of mine. Good comparison.

I'm starting with episode 2 and will give episode 3

an entire evening of intense viewing devotion.

Now bug off before my head unswivels.

For some reason, I can't watch BLACK MIRROR.

Reading your feelings about it make me want to, tho. 🙃

Be Right Back and San Junipero are also amazing.

It’s an anthology show, so most any episode works as a starting point really.

Do ittt. Out of curiosity, did you begin with episode 1? I always suggest people skip that one. I’ve grown to appreciate it, but it leaves an odd first impression.

It’s a good one to start with in a lot of regards, but I kind of feel like it’s the standard episode on steroids. It was the first one from the show I started with, and that my english teacher used to introduce us to it. Episode 3 is one of my favorites from the whole show, and is a bit more in line with what to generally expect.
