"USS Callister" was the best episode of Black Mirror, and Netflix just announced a sequel episode

I just realized I’ve only watched maybe half the episodes of Black Mirror, and I’ve been watching it since it started in the UK. (I’ll watch one or two and then feel like, “Yeah, I’m good for a couple years.”) I did see the USS Callister episode, and it was a good one, but I’m not sure it was the best even of the episodes I’ve seen - a little too reminiscent of other work, e.g. Christopher Brookmyre’s Bedlam, for me to have the same kind of impact other episodes did. I’ll certainly watch a follow-up episode before I watch some of the grimmer episodes I’ve been putting off, though.
