Best and worst
For me the best was Ice Age, but most of the shorts were excellent. Worst was Alternate Histories, hated that one, I actually skipped it after a few minutes.
shareThey were all good imho. But if forced to choose:
Best:
Three Robots - hilarious
Sonnie's Edge - great twist at the end
Across the Aquila Rift - suspenseful and creepy
Worst:
Sucker of Souls - poor animation.
The Dump - saw the ending coming from a long way off
Fish Night - wtf?
I liked Alternate Histories. It was funny, and I love alternate time line movies like Run, Lola, Run.

Sucker of Souls had really poor animation, worst animation of the bunch. Otherwise it might have been good, but the animation did turn me off.
I thought Fish Night was really cool, very dream like.
I agree about Sucker of Souls. What was your interpretation (if any) of Fish Night?
😎
I almost thought it was a lesson on naivety. The older guy was wary of where their careers as door to door salesman are going, but the kid is more optimistic. When the kid says he wishes he could be a sea creature swimming without a care in the world I immediately thought "except getting eaten." Ultimately he isn't watching his surroundings and gets killed (or it's all a hallucination and the kid died while sleeping, like some people think).

Interesting. Of all the episodes, this one is the most wide open to various interpretations.
😎
Agreed. It's also interesting to see the best and worst for people can differ so drastically. Unlike Black Mirror (bring it up since it's another anthology series) where there is generally a consensus on some of the better episodes e.g. White Christmas, Shut Up and Dance and generally a consensus on the worst e.g. The Waldo Moment.

Yes it is, and I LOVE Black Mirror, and have watched all of them. Did you watch Bandersnatch? It took them so long to do that one, it delayed the rest of the second season.

Your problem with the dump was my problem with the witness👍
