I've watched season 1 through 6 and there definitely were more than one episodes that just left me feeling like crap... But there's so many incredible episodes intermixed, like San Juniperno, that has made me keep coming back.

Today I watched the first episode of season 7, Common People, and... I just can't. It's done me in.

I have a question for those who have watched the remainder of the episodes. Are there any episodes that end on any sort of positive note or are they all this dreadful?

Maybe it's just not for me anymore. I get the premise behind Black Mirror, but there is something about this episode that just kind of shoved me past a point that I'm not sure it's worth it for me to keep watching.

It's interesting because in an interview with the creator he mentions that one of the loose goals with this season was to highlight the positives with technology.

Looking at the first episode, the technology to save the wifes brain is amazing technology! She would be dead without it. The cost is so minimal it's an easy choice.

If course we know how the episode goes, but it is funny that at face value the technology is great, it's what happens next that is the downfall.

The thought of subscriber based healthcare genuinely freaks me out.
