Loved that. Also that Black Mirror.. junipero serra?

San Junipero. it also happens to get referenced in a couple of future episodes, too!

Lol yes that one.. not a street in my city that sounds similar....

So wtf.. there's continuity? I watched the first season and start of s2 but too sensitive to watch realistic horror and had to stop. I've heard it's mellowed out, and have watched 2 or 3 one offs like San Junipero.. but I didn't know it's a shared universe. Thought it was all one offs

they’re “vignettes”… isolated stories, but they all occur in a shared universe, so you’ll sometimes hear line-drops that vaguely reference names or events from previous (sometimes future) episodes, but they don’t ever impact the stories of the episode they’re mentioned in.

but S4-S6 have been toned-down a bit from the original BBC series after Netflix bought it.
