    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although meant to represent a Californian beach town, San Junipero was actually shot in Cape Town, South Africa. As was another in Season 3, Nosedive (2016).
    • Goofs
      In 1987, when Yorkie goes to the Quagmire, the Pixies song Something Against You is playing. The song wasn't released until 1988. However, San Junipero was not primarily intended to be scrupulously free of anachronisms; as a place where the elderly and dying can go to relive fond memories of their youth, recreating the overall look, sound and feel of the era would be much more important than making sure everything was pinpoint accurate.
    • Quotes

      Kelly: 49 years. I was with him for 49 years. You can't begin to imagine. You can't know the bond, the commitment, the boredom, the yearning, the laughter, the love of it. The fucking love. You just cannot know! Everything we sacrificed. The years I gave him. The years he gave me. Did you think to ask?

    The Most Beautiful Thing
    This episode is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Such a pleasantly unexpected gem in the Black Mirror canon. It's so unique and stands out from the rest of the episodes and yet fits right in (much like Nosedive). I so appreciate the pacing, lighting + tone, acting, casting...everything!

    Talk about restoring my faith in storytelling. Mackenzie Davis and Gugu Mbatha-Raw have such great chemistry. The shot compositions are pure art, not to mention a killer score (Clint Mansell) and soundtrack. With this show, you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop and stomp your heart in a million pieces, but this episode left me absolutely speechless with awe and warmth. To all cast and crew involved...thank you.
