I thought I'd ask this since new episodes just came out on Netflix.

The first of the new episodes, starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Alice Eve, shows a world that would be a nightmare for Aspies!

Yes, love it! The first episode of the new season reminded me of the Meow-Meow Beans episode of Community, but with more of Charlie Brooker's trademark cynicism. I've been waiting patiently for the new season, and just recently rewatched the first two seasons to refresh my memory. Yesterday I watched the first two episodes of season three, and plan on finishing it today.

Finished it last night, and I think this new season is the best to date. The last episode especially ("Hated in the Nation") was really good. Lots of cameos from actors I like too, including Benedict Wong (Genghis Khan from Marco Polo, another amazing show with unbelievably gorgeous art, set, and costume design), Mackenzie Davis (Cameron How from Halt & Catch Fire, also a great program from AMC that just finished up their third season), Michael Kelly (Doug Stamper from House of Cards), and Hannah John-Kamen (Dutch from Killjoys, an excellent Toronto-based scifi show).
