Like favourite overall? Okay, noted. I think IĀ“ve seen one of the actresses in Blade Runner 2049.
Yep. Bearing in mind I havenāt seen every single episode yet.
Are you planning to catch up on me? If I manage 3 episodes a night I seem to be done by monday night.
Blimey you are going through these quickly!
Only got two more to go though so will probably be done at the same time. Plus I have to clear the way for Monday eve.

What are the plans for the future? Will there be more later this year or will there be another year long break (the show seems to have skipped a year or two).
I donāt think theyāve announced a fifth series yet. I reckon there will be another year break as seems to happen these days.

With X-Files on Monday and Inside Number Nine* on Tuesdays, itās almost like the old days of watching series on a weekly basis. Itās nice.
*Iād make you watch that next, though not sure how in Germany.
Hold your horses missy, I got my own list of shows to watch, too! 
However that name seems familar though I donĀ“t see it anywhere, so I guess nope for now.

Cross references I have noticed so far:
-
The Song from Fifteen Million Merits is sung at a karaoke in White Christmas.
-
The main character of Shut Up And Dance has a sticker of Waldo on his desk.
-
White Bear and Shut Up and Dance share a common theme about criminals you are lured into siding with at the beginning because of their over the top punishments (and not knowing their crimes yet). I think that may be a reaction to common public and political outcry and demands for punishments for sex offenders such as ankle monitors or chemical castration.
Good observations, Columbo. I didnāt notice any of those things.
Yeah, Iād say so. Itās interesting as I think lots of people jump at wanting to see ājusticeā for criminals before they know what theyāve done, yet this seems to do the opposite - as you say it makes you feel sorry for them at first, then shocked when you discover what theyāve done. But I still feel those were over the top punishments, even despite their crimes.
Of course they were over the top in any case. I think the way those two stories were told were specifically designed to manipulate the emotions and viewpoints of those people you described and make them question themselves a bit more.
Really looking forward to the upcomming episode tonight. I hear itĀ“s so popular that thereĀ“s been even demand for a sequel?!
Yep! I think itās better left as it is though, which is what Brooker has implied too.
Hope you like it and the hype hasnāt spoiled it.

Yes, I noticed this as well, and thought it was nicely done.
You are definitely speeding ahead of me, I can only get in an episode every couple of days.
Yeah sorry I usually watch as much as my attention span allows (which is about 3 hours at a time). So IĀ“m most likely done early next week, and there are so many other good shows on my watchlist too.

Gosh, that was beautiful!
Who would want a sequel to that? IsnĀ“t that like the ultimate happily ever after?

It came as a refreshing change too, having a happy ending for a change. Apparently Brooker had been planning that for a while, to surprise people.
It was quite unpredictable. I thought one of them was an alien at first!
Indeed. I think a lot of people enjoyed it so much they think a sequel would continue the enjoyment. But theyāre misguided
