Episode 5 was my least favorite. Episode 4 was the best one.

Solid season overall!

USS Callister - fun take on VR with a nostalgic throwback to 60s-era Star Trek. Nice accent Plemons :)

Arkangel - coming off as an indie flick, this should be a wake-up call to parents who try to monitor their child's exposure and decision-making. Could have been better.

Crocodile - dark and bleak as @#$% with the Nordic landscape adding to the whole vibe - excellent episode. Anyone know the meaning behind the title?

Hang the DJ - in agreement with user 'car master' above on being the best this season, this well-shot tale on sentient love was awesome.

Metalhead - intense cat-and-mouse story with no depth/intellect - being the shortest episode of the season helped.

Black Museum - messy but fun anthology tale that reminded me of a Tales from the Crypt episode

this is one of my favorite shows but i didn't really like this season too much, i think the overall writing was better in the previous ones.

Latest season was weak

Netflix did a pretty poor job of making the new episodes compared to the previous seasons which were not made by them

Okay to watch but overall letdown

I really liked USS Callister, more than I thought I would based on the premise. I think it's because unlike a large majority of Black Mirror episodes, the whole "technology doom & gloom" theme wasn't as overarching; it was more about the characters and their struggles. Technology obviously played a role and was a catalyst for most of the story, but it was more of a means to an end for storytelling in this episode more than the central theme/plot element.

season ain't that weak, it's just some of the episodes are below average like crocodile, metalhead, and arkangel..

if im going to rank the episodes this season, 1 being the best.

1. Hang the DJ
2. USS Callister
3. Black Museum
4. Crodocile
5. ArkAngel
6. Metalhead

Metalhead was really bad, i fell asleep during the middle parts and had to rewind. Never happened to me before watching Black Mirror episodes...

I am also confused how they came up with the title "crocodile" on that episode.

is it because sometimes being called a crocodile means being greedy?

Metalhead was terrible. A complete waste of time. I agree Hang the DJ was awesome.

i agree, its one of the best shows on TV if not the best. it's way better than some of the movies coming out in the theaters.

I hope they make more and soon, but its probably gonna be another 2 years :(

Guys, what is your ranking for best to worst for all the episodes so far for all seasons?

They're all worthy of a watch, but I don't think the following 3 add much, and can be skipped:

White Bear
Waldo Moment
Metalhead

hmm i enjoyed the plot twist in White Bear. Although i dont see the technology aspect of that episode or maybe i missed it. Erasing memories? is that it?

I agree with waldo moment and metalhead. Those episodes suck. Although waldo moment predicted what iphone is doing now.

Self-driving pizza cars and more may prove that this season of Black Mirror is even smarter than we thought.

Perhaps it's a related meaning to "Crocodile Tears" ???

Season 3, epi 3 I loved. Shut up and dance.

My top 5 episodes:

The Entire History of You is IMHO the best episode by far.

Arkangel was freaky. really freaky. The scene (spoiler) was watching her daughter have sex was just too much for one's level of comfort.

Black Museum disturbed me to no end.

USS Calister and White Christmas were fascinating to say the least. I think John Ham did great in WC.
