For me it was episode 2. Haven't gone back since. There is no hope, life is misrable, the end. I couldn't handle more.

15 million merit man legit gave me nightmares for weeks. Also I believe humans are hardwired to this fate. I have 100,000 pts of reposts.

The virtual reality game one where his mom keeps calling him. That got me good and I think about that episode a lot...

Isn't this show the modern Twilight Zone? I haven't watched it but people have been saying it is like that.

Took me awhile to figure out what the guy who was caught masturbating was so ashamed of that would drive him to do those things.

Omg right?! Like it’s all just too close to possible in our current day. The dystopia is too relatable.

Prime Minister at that time (David Cameron) did actually put his dick in a dead pig’s mouth while at Oxford Uni. Found out after the episode

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

The difference is that in real life, the president is the pig, and Russia is making the rest of us fuck it

8 years ago | Likes 39 Dislikes 23

Nope the reality is that the prime minister at the time was all too comfortable with pig fucking

It was bad in every way possible, not just the premise. It was just for shock value to get people talking, but not interesting in any way.

A lot of it was filmed in/around my uni. The scene where he fucks the pig was in one of my classrooms, can never unsee that...

I wish you had recommended it to me instead of Netflix. Netflix didn’t tell me to skip the first episode. It gave me nightmares.

It's like a modern day twilight zone. The episodes aren't related to each other. Each is a dystopian short story. I suggestvseason 3 ep 1.

And in all honesty they're not all dystopian environment, some of them are just fucked up things, like the horror game.

A society that participates in that horror theme park is not one I want to live in. Fairly dystopian in my opinion.

The one w the dying people meeting in utopia isn't dystopian. You are right, they aren't all dystopian. I only get 140 characters, though.
