I doubt anything can beat seaason 1 due to its timing with events which took place during the then Prime Minister's time at Oxbridge but this season has at least 50% of the same kick as season 1 overall NZer

A lot of work was put into making it seem like 1979 and the Red Mirror production company title was a good laugh too Dazed
It certainly was a stand along episode even though there were many tiny tie-ins to events that happen elsewhere in the Black Mirror universe.
I find it odd though that the run she picked up at the beginning only had two prongs on it and not three or none

The only strange thing to me was a young Indian woman living alone in 1979 but I guess that was explained sufficiently with the mother's photo.
It's a shame she didn't take out the racist shop assistant! -

I know! As I said earlier it was like a reverse whodunnit as some were bad uns' and some were worse
The colouring, set design and costume were all very well put together, could have done with a couple of upside down dalek heads hanging from the ceiling in the store but perfect beyond that.
The strange thing to me Dazed was a young Indian ethnicity woman, living alone, eating fish and chips while watching Top of the Pops after work having a biryani in a Stork tub for lunch the next day.
Making biryani is akin to making a lasagne and ain't no small feat
Maybe a neighbour with a large famiy gave her some

i think Demon 79 was ****ing awesome! i enjoyed all of the episodes for what they were…but would rather the tech take the front seat on future seasons.
i really dug Joan too…but that might be because all i could see during the end was Twiz in that yellow outfit!!! yes….i watch all programming with deepfake in mind -

I liked Beyond the Sea but it was pretty much a given how it would turn out.
Good acting from Aaron Paul and the ambiguity of when the show was taking place in human history was a nice touch.
But yes, I can definitely see how it didn't compare to the others Panther
