Anyone watching "Black Mirror" Season 6?

Thoughts? I've only seen the first episode. I thought it would have been a decent 1/2 hour show, dragged out into an hour, for some reason.

1. I also just finished the 1st episode.

Enjoyed it much.

2. Trying

I watched the first minutes of all of them and none compelled me to continue yet. Returned to #1 and then got creeped out by the premise (which we don't discover til she consults an attorney) and turned it off to go review my devices' security and read a bunch of tos. Lol sorta.

3. I liked "Loch Henry" and "Demon 79" best

But they were all pretty good. "Joan is Awful" ran a bit longer than necessary for the premise. "Beyond the Sea" was worth watching for the cringe factor and the songs by Charles Tenet and Jacques Brel but it had a huge plot hole: in real life, they would've sent the replicas into space. And it had a stupid ending.

4. Just watched the first two tonight

The whole time "Joan is Awful" was playing, I kept thinking this is exactly what the writers and actors are striking over. And I wondered if that was on purpose. I don't know the trends/concerns in that industry generally (like the concerns about AI) so I have no idea how long that issue has been a concern or if it was one long ago enough for this production. I kind of suspect it was.

If I'd watched it when it first came out, I doubt I would have had the strong reaction I felt tonight.
