I have always loved this series but these 3 new episodes were totally disappointing
I thought 'Smithereens' was excellent.
I felt there was too much gratuitous sex in 'Striking Vipers' although, without spoiling for those who did not watch it, the episode did hinge on issues of sex/sexuality. Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy.
Haven't watched Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too yet. Holding off because of the 'star', but I hope to be proven wrong when I inevitably watch it.
Striking Vipers is the one I haven't watched yet. Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too was okay, Miley was fine (I have no problem with her, apart from hating her style of music, she does a fine job acting-wise though), but it got really silly in the second half, and really isn't up to the Black Mirror standard IMO. But worth a watch once. Smithereens, as mentioned, was very good, my wife and I both enjoyed that a lot.

Miley Cyrus was ok. She was after all an actress before the solo singing career. She seems to be taking a swipe at her Hanna Montana days. I don't care for her music either and even her speaking voice grates on me. The show didn't play out or end in the tradition of Black Mirror so I too found it a tad underwhelming. C+
I thought the Ashley... one was lame just didn't really interest me.
Smithereens held my interest but overall wasn't great.
I thought Striking Vipers was the best. It was a bit more similar to the earlier episodes than the other two were. The cast was also more interesting.
My son described the show as something like a declining series, and I think he's right.

^yep. None of the stories stick with you after they're over the way the earlier episodes did.
