>The Entire History Of You

>San Junipero
>White Bear
>Hated In The Nation

I do need to get around to watching White Christmas (I have it on my NAS, but never got around to watching it). Hated In The Nation definitely gets a nod. As some have written its a great mashup of, say, Law & Order plus The X Files. And a shitton of bees that freaked me out.

Fine as frogs hair...

Didn't mind her at all. Any reason for the dislike?

The 'No...please tell me this isn't going to happen... please', and it does. That slow march to that inevitable, horrible conclusion is pretty well done

Well, it did, but also showed kind of where we are today. Shut Up And Dance is extremely possible right now, and we're a jab step away from Nosedive. The other eps aren't too far fetched or far off

And another shoutout to Doug Stamper absolutely killing it
