    Thank you for making this post! I just finished watching it last night. I really enjoyed this season. Usually there’s one or two episodes that are “meh” for me, but all of them were good.

    Vague thoughts with vague spoilers:

    spoiler

    My mind is a whirlwind, but my favorites were Loch Henry and Beyond the Sea.

    I’ve been a werewolf fan my whole life, and Mazey Day was really good. I wish it had been longer, but the ending was great.

    Joan is Awful was classic Black Mirror, absolutely funny and horrifying.

    Demon 79 was also great. I was never much into 70’s/80’s horror movies, I’ve only watched a handful of them, but I think it really captured the style of those movies. Felt really bad for Nida, though.

    Non-spoiler list:

    1. Loch Henry
    2. Beyond the Sea
    3. Mazey Day
    4. Joan is Awful
    5. Demon 79

    (The order doesn’t mean I dislike the last ones, I just loved the first ones more.)

      I also really enjoyed Mazey Day especially because it felt like my expectations were being subverted The reveal really surprised me.

        Unfortunately I landed on some spoilers (someone said on Mastodon: “the episode with the X”), so when I saw where the event took place, I figured out what was happening to her.

        That said, as a longtime fan of Xs, I’ve been burned by bad productions, effects and overall story. This episode felt really well made in all aspects. I loved the parallel with the characters’ careers and the situation. That last moment was so good.

        (I’m on the phone and can’t remember the spoiler tags, that’s why I’m being vague.)
