Oh dude that jogs my memory, if the USS McAllister episode is the Star Trek esque MMO RPG, I liked that it actually had an optimistic ending

Otherwise yeah those other ones sound rough.

    Strangely, some episodes actually have an optimistic ending. Maybe kinda bitter sweet, but still.

    Anything even remotely positive suddenly feels very good in this context where the baseline is a total nightmare. When you think a character has hit rock bottom, Black Mirror shows you how things can always get 10x worse. What you thought was bad, was just a warm up lap.
