I like White Christmas, Shut Up and Dance, and Black Museum more than you did and I wasn't a huge fan of Smithereens' reveal but this is more or less how I'd rank the show as well.
Honestly there hasn't been a Black Mirror episode I haven't liked, even the very first one.

Interesting that they are calling them films...
I don't like that.

I'm a little confused on the technology tie-in for episode 2 VHS tapes. Technology didn't just start being evil in 2010. |

The two the reviews label as the good ones hit for me. Joan and 79 both were solid.
Catch up on the rest slowly.

Finished the new season. Overall, disappointing. There were good parts here and there and "Joan is Awful" was solid. Some made you wait for just the punchline and the ending to Beyond the Sea was just terrible.

Finally finished the newest season. The quality of episodes continues to dip.
Overall, I liked the season enough but there are no standout episodes and Mazey Day is objectively the worst episode of the entire show. Also that and Demon 79 dip into supernatural and not technology, which I suppose is fine but it's also going against the aesthetic of the show and feels like a convenient cheat to avert from doing something more creative with technology.
Charlie Brooker is a great writer, but this show probably could do one more season and be done. The well feels like it's almost dry.

That's what makes black mirror black mirror. If its just an anthology series it could be anything. |
