Never seen Black Mirror but it keeps popping up on here. Is it worth watching?

[TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?
- Thread starter Stat Brother
- Start date
Certain episodes, definitely. To confirm, they are ALL standalone episodes and can be watched individually.
I would personally recommend;
San Junipero
Nosedive
White Christmas
Hang The DJ
Shut Up and Dance

They're hit and miss - a bit like Inside Number 9 (which I absolutely love overall) but well worth catching up on, yes
Some episodes are right up there as some of the best TV I’ve watched. Some episodes are incredibly dark and disturbing and you don’t necessarily know until the twist comes. There is an overlap between the two.
Some episodes are uplifting. Some episodes are quite clever and make a good point but aren’t as gripping as others.
I love it, but can see that it might not be for everyone.

Love Black Mirror, I think USS Callister and Joan is Awful are also good episodes.

Coming mid-Aptil, The Glass Dome looks pretty good stuff.
We’ve just started watching Zero Day, it’s really good.

Watched it in two sittings. Very good.
Ransom Canyon (Netflix's answer to Yellowstone) is unwatchable garbage.
It may not even be that good.

If it is available the wonderful The Day the Earth Stood Still., a Cold War film not a million miles away from Trump's USA.
That is the B/W 1951 original, with Michael Rennie starring.
And not the dreadful 2008 remake 'starring' Keanu Reeves, an actor taking money on false pretences...

Secrets We Keep (Reservatet) - Thurs 15 May
When the young Filipino au pair Ruby disappears from one of Denmark’s most affluent neighbourhoods north of Copenhagen, the neighbour, Cecilie, becomes convinced that something has happened to her.
Cecilie’s own au pair, Angel, begins to investigate the rumours circulating among the area’s many au pairs, while suspicions of a crime grow. However, the case of the missing foreigner is a low priority for the police, and the newly minted investigator Aicha needs all the assistance she can get. Cecilie and Angel are ready to help, and gradually the power structures and privileges within the beautiful homes start to be exposed.
Yet, Cecilie’s commitment to uncovering the truth is put to the test when Ruby’s disappearance reveals connections reaching into Cecilie’s own family. She is forced to confront her blind spots and view her family and the environment in which she is raising her children in a whole new light.

Got about 5 minutes in to that before realising that it was a trash soap opera and turning it off.
