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.
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.
