 Ok, I'm getting in on the game this year.

drat it I also forgot about the series 9 prologue which has one of my favourite dialogues in it:

OHILA: Will you go?
DOCTOR: No.
OHILA: Why do you always lie?
DOCTOR: Why do you always assume I'm lying?
OHILA: It saves time. The truth: will you go?
DOCTOR: No.
OHILA: When?
DOCTOR: Soon.
OHILA: Why? Did something happen?
DOCTOR: No.
OHILA: Was it recent?

God, it's like reading Beckett.

 Nah, I was decidedly tipsy at Christmas and still hated this. Also, the Doctor just walks away and leaves a man to die, which I still have problems with.

 But it's ok because the Doctor is eating snacks on the job and that's hilarious!

Personally, I find Black Mirror way too emotionally crushing to watch, but I guess I'll bite the bullet. :(

Basically, yeah. It's horribly dark and cynical, and I don't really derive any joy from watching it. I did watch San Junipero because it's the happy ending one and liked that. But every other episode is incredibly bleak.
