Black Mirror White Christmas
Why can't all tv be this good? Almost makes me feel bad for using adblock

Yes! Ace linkage, you've made my evening.
I'll have to turn off ad block too. I may even enjoy the ads while watching this. Thanks!

Tedious isn't it!
I haven't owned a TV in something like 6 years. It always feels strange watching ads. A weird little culture shock, like when living in a foreign country for the first time. Also a lot of them seem like well produced mini movies to me now.

Totally this^
Its brought back the 'Tea Break' thing, I've not experienced that for years.

there's a trick to adblocking 4od
where you disable adblock, press play on the vid, and then enable it again when the 1st ad starts. Then all the rest of the ads are skipped.

sounds like pressing record on one tape while pressing play on the other, at the exact same time
i.e. I think we're beyond such things

That's the next Black Mirror sorted...
something about the culture shock of ad breaks, and Bruce Willis is a ghost

Did anybody else pick up on the word-jumbling announcer before this started?
I thought it was going to be a vital clue to an aspect of the plot or something, but I soon forgot what she said.
Might have just been a mistake.

Charlie Brooker is a lurker here and the whole thing is about ignore 2.0

I thought it was good.
But all this part 1, part 2, part 3 etc after every ad break (I watched without ads) grated on me. I thought it better than at least a couple of the earlier outings. For me, some of the earlier ones had ambitions that were thwarted by budget constraints. This one, not so much, solid 7 point five out of ten. Would recommend.

Thought it was pretty good,
though I'm watching the original Twilight Zone series at the moment, and that just makes me wish Black Mirror had Charlie Brooker pop up to introduce each story whilst puffing on a cig.

I wish I liked Black Mirror more
It reminds me of Roald Dahl's adult fiction; dark and weirdly interesting, but just a bit too spiteful.
