Rachel is the GOAT she’s busting out the receipts just to help you prove you came up with the idea before anyone else 😭😭😭 she’s such a sweetheart

[@itsriverwren]

I think a lot of the reason San Junipero got so much hype at the time was because it was released when the “bury your gays” trope was in full force, so to then have an lgbt couple who get to spend eternity together BY dying was so fucking groundbreaking. It’s one of my fav eps but nowadays I can see how compared to a lot of other episodes that one is a lot more on the mundane scale.

[@scheibez]

i also think the reason it is so beloved to this day is because it remains as one of, if not the only, episode with a “happy” ending. and rightfully so. in a world where simply existing as a queer person is terrifying and sometimes even impossible, seeing such a hopeful episode on BLACK MIRROR of all shows really struck a chord in me, and i’m sure it did in so many other people.

[@JanetDax]

@@scheibez Then too I loved Yorkie and Kelly both as teenagers and adults

[@3choblast3r4]

@@scheibez The fact that people would say that a happy ending is good in a black mirror episode is why we get those nickolodeon episodes with miley cyrus. The San Junipero ep was one of the worst episodes in BM history after miley cyrus and the first Joane is awful. The whole fkn point of black mirror is to give us dark endings that stick with us and make us think about the dystopian and negative consequences of technology, the changes to our society, morals, behavior etc etc. Wanting a good episode just because it has lgbt character is so backwards. It's just as backwards as everyone that obsessively praises this episode because it's lgbt despite it being super bad and poorly written. The reason why it was so "well received" (only in certain circles). is because lgbt as a social issue is the thing that hollywood has decided to champion for the past decade. Before that it was racism. It's fine to champion social issues, but not when you start writing and producing garbage to virtue signal and prize bait like for example with the movie Crash.

Shut Up And Dance is my favorite episode too. I did a paper on it for one of my college classes and the foreshadowing in the first couple minutes with him in the restaurant and the kid is wild in retrospect

[@starjumper]

Shut Up and Dance is my absolute favorite too. The last minute with the phone call really made me go DAMN. The first scene with the kid is so innocent on the first watch but so sinister the next

[@Kevtastical]

I could be misremembering but in White Bear aren't all the people with cell phones basically specators because the womans torture is being used as basically a theme park attraction.

[@nerdygem8620]

Yeah it's a participation that people PAY for. The thing is I can see the thought process for how it would be set up. Don't think it ever would be, but the public outrage at crimes as awful as that make it kinda believable (eg: Lucy Letby). "Help us punish a child killer, you're totally in the right to do so." It's an appealing concept on an emotional level.

[@beefkaqueenoftheworld]

it’s also allowed bc the spectator viewing an awful event and recording and laughing and all that is exactly what she did to the little girl. so i think it was a way to flip her crime back on her and basically be like - “well how does it feel to be hurting and have people watching and laughing and recording your pain? not great huh?” (i could be misremembering details lol)

[@Squimbelina]

@@beefkaqueenoftheworldthat’s exactly it - I seem to remember them being encouraged to film in the ‘behind the scenes at the park’ scenes, to give her a taste of her own medicine idea.

[@Schylove12]

You’re pretty spot on about American ranking/grading. Since I was typically an A student (90-100%), I saw 8/10 as subpar, 7/10 as pretty bad, 6/10 as horrible, and anything less than 5/10 as completely abysmal. So if a slice of pizza was not very good but I didn’t get food poisoning, I’d probably rand it 6 or 7 because those are bad scores in my head.

[@rachelburns1461]

yeah it’s like we’re assigning letter grades

[@Jess-Rabbit]

I'm American and got all A's my entire life. By the same token, I would never give something I did not like a 7/10. If I genuinely didn't like it then it would be much lower. On a 10 scale a 5 is average and I think most people realize that

[@morigahn]

I have mixed feelings on Black Mirror. Some episodes are truly fantastic, others.. shouldn't have been made lol

[@novaya3537]

Its truely a hit or miss each episode

[@chriscze6153]

"Tell me you don't read sci-fi." So true - I just finished re-reading The Martian Chronicles earlier this month (first time as an adult) and so much of it you can see in Black Mirror and other sci-fi media. I'm no sci-fi girlie but Black Mirror isn't as original as people think it is, even if, as Our Lizard Queen says, some episodes are god status.

[@silvsevie]

I think it makes sense that not all episodes are groundbreaking or outstanding(or even very original}, and the tone isn't consistent, because its an anthology with each episode written by a super wide variety of people. even with some episodes that are clearly a reinterpretation of earlier works, some of the are at least told in an interesting way. and I think shows like this might invite more people into reading/consuming more scifi, hopefully.

[@phangkuanhoong7967]

there's literally nothing original in any of the Black Mirror episodes. They're all very, very well-trodden sci-fi/dystopian tropes.

[@MuffledMango]

National Anthem disturbed me deeply. Not so much the act of someone ****ing a pig (which is obviously disgusting enough all on its own) but more so the horrible effect something like that, realistic or not, would have on someones mental health. And the wife. And the entire world watching it live. I haven't watched the entire series yet, not sure if I ever will, but I did watch a couple of seasons and not a single episode managed to make me as sick as that first episode. I might be weak, but idk.

[@cadyfitzgerald3273]

I agree so much. That’s the one episode out of the entire run of Black Mirror that makes me feel unbelievably sick to my stomach. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to watch it all the way through and every time I rewatch the show I skip it. Just thinking about it now makes me feel viscerally ill lol. I guess we’re both weak 😂

[@bananamanchester4156]

I agree. I think a lot of people's takeaway from that episode is "people are more interested in watching a spectacle than they are in the Princess's wellbeing, isn't that awful" but I think the real horror is the whole "imagine being forced to knowingly humiliate yourself on a national scale". I think the show was right to have the PM be the main character so we could see his turmoil over it.

[@thefiredogcult9523]

Your not weak it's just fucking disgusting

[@thefiredogcult9523]

I'm angry it even exist shame to and on the writers who came up with such a sick and disgusting idea and shame on any and all the actors for choosing to be apart if something so disgusting I truly hate them all it's a disgusting thing that shouldn't exist or anything the whole thing doesn't have a word to describe how immoral and disgusting it is and even if I granted it a generous amount of grace which is doesn't deserve the episode failed to go about it sensitivity and even it did still fuck all the actors and writers who worked on that absolute abomination

[@lindyloohoo]

The second episode traumatized me way too much (i think it was he second one, where she ends up in pron)

[@CheapRobot]

I think that the ending of Smithereens can be reasoned out by the reaction of the police captain. Her look of complete shock leads you to believe that the intern was killed, while her lack of urgency (by all involved, really) would lead you to believe that the kidnapper was shot as well. I think this is bolstered by the reaction of the sniper. She doesn't line up for shot after the fatal bullet, meaning the threat was neutralized. She also looks disappointed in the result, meaning the intern was killed.

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

I'll defend series 1-4 to my dying breath, even the Netflix transition people were retrospectively down on (Those are my favorites 💔) but the last two really make defending the show as a whole impossible. A friend introduced me to Inside No. 9 and I haven't looked back, I do consider it the smarter show now. But BM at the same time popularizes a kind of storytelling I think should be all over TV and I'll always have a place in my heart for it for that.

[@CharlieQuinn2772]

Inside No.9 is incredible! Iv found it more intelligent as well and just more interesting and engaging.

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

@@CharlieQuinn2772 But I still am a BM fan and consider it one of the better shows of its time. It's not lacking in ambition.

[@SecretAgentNein]

Inside No. 9 is absolutely brilliant. It really sticks with you. I don't remember how many years ago I first watched it - it was before Reece Shearsmith was in Chasing Shadows, at least - but I still find myself just contemplating some of those episodes. Sardines and Tom & Gerri especially. I definitely need to get back to it and watch what I've missed. I think I've missed at least the last two seasons.

[@BlisaBLisa]

i also rly liked white bear. the way it incorprated technology didn’t feel pretentious and it felt more original in what aspect of technology it chose to critique, which was the way it feeds this part of us thats bloodthirsty and Schadenfreude. stuff like true crime viewers comes to mind but also the reactions to viral vids of random people in public being recorded acting like assholes. The anger or Schadenfreude may be justified bc of what that person did but it can get to a point where youre just enabling the very worst parts of yourself and your behavior is just pure self gratification. you become a worse person for engaging in that behavior, and the way the internet is constantly feeding us content that keeps us angry it encourages that behavior to spiral out of control. the way her torment is set up as an amusement park where excited visitors all come and watch is reminiscent of public executions and lynchings of the past. the way that the instinctual desire to see retribution brings out unimaginable behavior from otherwise ordinary people

[@Squimbelina]

THANK YOU for rating 'Joan is awful' an F. I've read people liking this episode and I just can't for the life of me understand _why_ My bf and I watched this one together and we were having a blast trashing it. I foresaw the whole "twist" in the literal beginning of the episode, while he foresaw the whole "terms and conditions"-bit. Also, as former law students (in Germany but still), the whole terms and conditions bit was so utterly unconvincing and unrealistic, it made us really mad! Like I don't know about law in the UK, US or any place other than Germany, but here, if you sign TOS, you still have certain rights. Something like in this episode would straight up be nullified for its violations of privacy. If you sign TOS here, you're legally entitled to expect certain things. Say, someone made you sign TOS and they said: "By signing these TOS, you're now required to buy a washing machine from me!", that'd be straight up nullified. Because you should not expect outlandish claims like these in your TOS. In such a case, the original contract would still be intact, but that one claim in the TOS wouldn't be. For this reason alone, 'Joan is awful', was an awfully dumb episode with nothing to say and no 'deeper meaning'

[@ariadne538]

Lol I've just noticed you made that exact same point just seconds after the bit I've paused 💀 Well now I know it's not only a thing in German law ~

hearing alizee talking about the fear of eternity and mentioning stephen king a couple of times i thought it would be cool if she’ll tap into that fear more and write some freakish horror stories… abstract things like these are legitimately scary

[@d_alistair-years]

In my opinion: The Twilight Zone > Black Mirror. Not helping that USS Callister was heavily based on an infamous episode (It’s a Good Life). Like HarriyannaHook said, Black Mirror gets high praise because it’s the only show people watch that makes them think

[@marocat4749]

outer limits is pretty good too usualy

[@arbisofficial]

My takeaway from watching this show is similar to that of American horror story: it's a show that prioritizes edginess and shock value over telling a story, and it just happens to every once in a while land on something really good. And I think that's why you get that polarization of opinions bc to some people great moments justify a show being great, while others can't see it that way and aren't willing to deal with sifting through the worse parts. Don't come at me for my opinions on either of these shows pls

[@jackdominick4104]

the comment about pseudo intellectual men and this show is so real lmao those are the only ppl that ever hyped it up so much to me

What I liked about Joan is awful is it showed how are we can be in our perceptions of ourselves. Every iteration of Joan was progressively worse but OG Joan was just a normal flawed person worrying about how her tone was in a conversation and playing it. I would like Netflix to be referenced in a heavier black mirror episode. I liked how Loch Henry was a Netflix documentary, in an huge true crime fan and noticed Netflix has been churning them out lately as it’s an bigger market than traditional media has realised

As someone who also has ADHD i completely relate to getting really annoyed/uneasy from long/slow speeches in shows. I also feel like this when a series/movies get stuck on something for too long or jokes getting dragged out too long. (altho i love Family guy, happens alot here) I forget what i was watching was even was about and it takes me completely out of it. I also agree with your ratings of Shut up and dance, USS Calister, Black museum, Hang the dj, Demon 79, Joan is awful and San Junipero. Only one i absolutely dont agree with is Beyond the sea, i personally barely knew Aaron Paul so i wasnt rating it high on that. It gave me a big plot twist, i constantly tried to predict and was scared my predictions were gonna come true(so it being predictable) but it didnt and a full turn around happened, it actually shocked me. On top of that the concept of having to work together in space with someone who murdered your wife and kid because you trusted them too much, very interesting in a fucked up way. This video was not controversial at all, your takes were very good and least annoying in catagory tierlists.

[@llindberg194]

TANK YOU that guy in episode 3 is SO out of control, so possessive and so creepy. But I do like the episode, for me his behavior is a comment on how we interact with technology and how it exaggerates certain tendencies in us, and how it can help abusers stalk and terrorise their victims. HIS behavior is 100 times more reprehensible even though her actions were wrong too.

[@XanIndigo]

"It's got that lady, the redheaded one." I love your descriptions so much.

[@bobbitworm8184]

Honestly I kind of agree. There are some episodes that I really love (either bc I thought they were genuienly good or bc they were so silly I couldnt help but kinda like em, like the killer robot bees episode), but most of the series just felt like "Babies first scifi/horror" to me.

If I could have San Junipero on DVD and never watch any other episode of Black Mirror ever again I’d be just fine with that. That episode means so much to me.

San Junipero was the dumbest most prize bait bs episode of that season together with the 2 gaymers episode. Actually rewatch that episode and leave your bias aside. Watch it for the story and tell me it's actually good .."one I consider a much needed WLW story" .. ok bruh .. ffs.

[@3choblast3r4]

​@@killthepandas. Yeah no sh. Are you even aware what prize bait is buddy? A decade or two ago it was stuff like Crash. Where they obsessively focused on racism but didn't actually bother to write good stories. The new trend / social issue that is all the rage is LGBT people. And the inclusion of them is often not done because the writer happened to have written LGBT characters but because Marketing people demand it, because reviewers and prize committees prioritize it for prizes and high scores, because it causes a lot of "engagement" with angsty lgbt teens posting left and right that it's the best thing ever and homohobes are going off about how it's the worst. Meanwhile no one cares that the episode is actually very poorly written, directed and full of plot holes. A good example is tlou's bill episode. Every single review said the same stuff.. tloug was a very poor remake of a video game story, all the parts with Joel and Ellie were horribly bad. The episode where the paranoid doomsday prepper and a random guy start having sex after 30 seconds was the best TV in the last decade, this show is a 10/10 .. (hilariously IGN or Kotaku don't remember still claimed that despite the Bill bait episode and the Ellie and Riley episode the show still wasn't inclusive because lgbt and bipoc people died in the show

[@3choblast3r4]

@@killthepandas. P.s Sandman by Neil Gaiman was super, super, super inclusive of LGBT people literally changing 90% of the characters to one acronym letter or another. The only straight people in the show I can remember aside from the sandman himself (which I wouldn't be surprised is written as bi) were evil. yet very few people cared.. you know why? Because despite all that nonsense, it was very well written. Likely because Neil Gaiman was actually involved in the project. And despite the character changes his good writing came to the forefront. My point is you can have lgbt inclusive stories, even those that push it down your throat and still have it be very well written and just generally well done. San Junipero was not. Neither was the Bill episode

[@dbarrett1539]

@@3choblast3r4 idk about you but I considered the relationship between the main characters the story, with the tech elements in the background. And the relationship was handled exquisitely . As of your 'ok bruh ffs' comment -- that was unneeded, but my previous statement stands. Look at LGBT media with two women being the main pairing, or even gay-adjacent. Think about all the 'girl-on-girl but it's straight' kisses in medeia. It's almost always hyper-sexualised to appeal to a male audience. For example, Riverdale. This is not the case in San Junipero, which is why I said it was much needed -- young, queer girls need to have role models in media, and I think that this episode has done it well. As for you citing Gaiman, it's giving "I'm not homophobic, I have a gay friend!" And finally. People have opinions that are different to yours, Karen, learn to live with it lmao Edit: Gaiman

Exactly, it felt so pretentious, fake deep, and self-important to me 😂 I actually had to re-watch the episode a second time as I fell asleep during the first viewing simply because it was so boring to me. I also completely agree that it seemed like the directors couldn't really settle on what exactly they wanted it to be, leaving the tone and pacing feeling all over the place to me in the end. I figured people liked it so much because they felt that the whole 'sacrificing people to save the world' was a fresh twist on the regular 'stopping the apocalypse' media trope. I could also see people enjoying the humor and characters as well, even if neither were personally my cup of tea. I'd love to hear why you think people seemed to love it so much, though! I enjoy comparing my perceptions to others because it's fun hearing what conclusions or points people reached that were different from mine and to see if perhaps my own perceptions might have been a bit off.

A lot of Black Mirror episodes are very much for casual tv viewers, and for people who want their things explained to them in a bite-sized manner. Like you have to think, but not very hard. The answer is right in front of you if you care, and that can make for very good tv since it requires minimum investment.

Just finished watching the entire series for the first time about a month ago, , perfect timing! Im interested to see how our opinions line up and differ .

[@Jay_one]

As long as you give 15 million merits an S, you can bash this show as much as you want.

[@LilySaintSin]

Yeah, it's not original, tbf Charlie Brooker always said it was based on Twilight zone.

[@keithmichael112]

the early seasons were extraordinary

[@eeee474eee]

the only big disagreement I have with this is I feel like enough credit wasn’t given to U.S.S. Callister as an examination of how horrible nerd/outcast culture can be to women, and how that’s exemplified by how women in sci-fi are written a lot of the time. I think that’s a conversation we have more commonly in 2023 when we talk about incels, but it was still pretty fresh in the mainstream when that episode came out - there are def parallels to IHNMAIMS, but I would’ve loved to hear you get more into that side of the episode because it’s one of my favs for that reason!

[@BlisaBLisa]

lol im happy seeing u liked shut up and dance so much that one is absolutely my #1 fav episode. it was also the first black mirror ep I saw that introduced me to the series, i had no context for it going in it was just something that was on tv. I was so into it it kept me so engaged just going on this journey with the character feeling his stress and then the fucking ENDING. just so good great writing. im also a fellow adhd haver so im automatically gonna rly enjoy something that can keep my attention THAT well.

[@Jess-Rabbit]

Waldo is most definitely BLUE. Purple?! I'm offended Also Playtest is one of the best episodes in my opinion. It was freaky and also sad because he never got to really make up with his mom even though they made us think he was able to at the end before the final twist

[@Jess-Rabbit]

@@KaleighCee Agree! I am shocked to learn people didn't notice it as much as others. I am really close with my parents and love travel so maybe it felt more personal to me but I thought the time dilation thing mixed with the horror aspects and everything we learn about the main character and his development throughout made for a great episode

[@nerdygem8620]

I found a lot (not all) of episodes had one or two small, interesting sci fi concepts but unfortunately weren't made into an interesting story :/

[@myxini]

Still watching the video and I have not seen a lot of the later eps, but heck yeah someone who appreciates White Bear! it's one of my 3 favorite eps along with Hated in the Nation and the one about the insane social network. IMO it's a series with a few real bangers, some just okay eps and some that were pretty terrible.

[@SanjaSleipnir]

People are too hard on the latest season. Is it groundbreaking, life altering television? No. But it’s entertaining and thrilling and most episodes still manage to catch you off guard with how the story develops. I think people forget that Black Mirror was never as genius and complex, as we like to think it was. It’s literally been hit or miss from the start. The hits were few and far in between but when they hit, they hit it out of the park. E v e r y o t h e r Episode was ranging from average to forgettable and sometimes even completely void of any reason for the produced result to even exist. If anything the latest season is just more consistently okay to quite good. There is at least one blunder but no homerun, contrary to the previous instalments. I had a great time with the latest season because I never put blackmirror up on this pedestal of mind blowing writing that only the best and brightest would be able to appreciate. It’s literally just a show, a very good show with some exceptional episodes, that’s it.

[@frankiesomeone]

from tabula rasa to "disorientated" in the span of 5 seconds 😂

[@papadivertida]

I wondered what you meant because I didn't see anything wrong with "disorientated" but maybe *I* was wrong, so I looked it up. It's a Bristish English vs American English thing. (Please don't think I'm trying to be rude, I thought it was a cool little thing so I thought I'd share. We -the Great Alizee Yeeze audience- seem to enjoy learning and stuff)

[@frankiesomeone]

@@papadivertidahuh! I owe an apology to Alizee and the brits!

[@avacx]

I so understand the ranking, if something is good I might give it 6/10 and people are confused, like that’s more than half, it’s good!!

[@mentallyunw3ll]

I’m sorry miss ma’am….did you just say 20???😅 don’t do that to my brain

[@saffrith]

Alizeeeee this is such a good fucking video. Your takes are very well thought out and justified. Also you’re so fucking funny, as usual. Watching this while packing for a trip and its comforting.

[@saffrith]

Also i loved “shut up and dance” too oh my god. Plus “exit music (for a film)” being played is the cherry on top. I also love the scene in the car where the bloke who cheated on his wife starts off kind like “oh we’ve all done it before” to our main character and then switches it up real quick. Its done very well.

[@phangkuanhoong7967]

i really hated Bandersnatch. And for me, Black Mirror as a whole was okay with a lot meh. But it has become the show made for dumb men to feel smart - my same opinion applies to Nolan films.

[@es1645]

Theres a show very similar called inside no 9. It’s so much better though

[@taranama]

Shut up and dance is my favourite ep. Now do Love sex and robots!

[@RedSpade37]

I love spooky anthology shows like this, but wow, not even Outer Limits was as mean-spirited as Black Mirror is. Thanks for this tier list!

[@jordanhamilton9316]

The reason that people sometimes put ‘hated this completely 4/5’ because negative stars could be hidden

[@reaperassasin11]

You said you thought your views would be harsh and controversial but honestly it seems really logical and understandable! It's been a while since I've seen Black Mirror so I don't remember much, but your video didn't seem negative at all. I had fun listening!

[@rubyashe5744]

I agree with almost everything but you ignored Bandersnatch!

[@justvibing6346]

I’ve just finished watching black mirror for the first time and I’ve also had some apparent controversial opinions.. I am excited for this video:D

[@Greutter1999]

Yupppp the reason the words sluts and whores and hoes exist is because men were projecting.

[@JarinCOD]

1. cheater = slut, whore, hoe 2. even women use these words to call other women

[@Jay32954]

Me, before watching Black Mirror: I'm an edgy cynic. Black Mirror sounds like my kind of show. Me, three seasons in: oh god, make it stop 😢😢😢 Me, after watching San Junipero: I'm not crying, you're crying. 😭😭😭

[@lyrahunter]

Thank you x10. I've been trying to remember for months where i saw the plot of 15 000000 merits and i thought it was in a movie so thank you. My brain can't keep track of anything 😅. That's the only episode of black mirror i've watched and i didn't even remember it was in that show

[@Xxbubbly10]

You’d call a dude a slut or a whore as well imo

[@Momofan69]

You could , but they are gendered words, that's the point. I've heard man-whore but never woman whore, insinuating whore implies female.

[@JarinCOD]

@@Momofan69 So gendered words are banned now?

[@elissabug4021]

i went in to your video hopinh you would have something good to say for White Bear because its my favorite episode of all by far. you just put it in S and i am so happy i feel vindicated. i wish i could watch it for the first time again without knowing the ending

[@plathapuss]

I agree with most of your ratings. I think people have a soft spot for San Junipeiro not because it’s a technically good black mirror episode but because of the lesbian and bi representation. Even within the LGBT community they’re under represented, it’s all about gay men and trans people.

[@thepopslice]

My rankings for those who care/don't care (you're getting it anyways) Most Overrated: San Junipero Most Underrated: Demon '79 Most Disturbing: The White Bear / Loch Henry Most Shock Value: National Anthem Most Funny: USS Callister Most Boring: Mazey Day Most Sad: Metalhead P.s. you missed out Bandersnatch!

[@Octobris]

White Christmas and Shut Up And Dance still make me hurt on a visceral level. And Nosedive is my absolute favourite one.

[@sanqopearl]

a woman after my damn heart, best content ever

[@d_alistair-years]

First person I’ve seen praise that one. Found it weird how people complained it “felt like a Disney Channel movie” when having Miley in a Hannah Montana-like role was a huge giveaway to that atmosphere 😆

[@pindrop9536]

I also hate the pseudo-intellectual nonsense surrounding this show. It is a mainstream show exploring mainstream concepts (which is incredibly well executed at times)

[@user-br4it4ph8p]

Black mirror has some good episodes but as a whole inside no. 9 is a better anthology series - i highly recommend it to anyone with access to the bbc iplayer

[@madimiss]

Yessss!!!! Community reference!!! Love the shout out!

[@nerdygem8620]

Would you consider reviewing Love, Death and Robots? 👀 I've seen them all but there's a variance, and I'd love to see your takes

[@IssieAndLife]

💯 yes please to this!!
