Black Mirror -anyone watching?

[cjefferys]

I just wanted to really recommend this UK TV show. Netflix picked up the first two series a couple years ago from Channel 4 in England, and it did so well for them, they produced the third series themselves (love when they do this) and released it last month. I wasn't really sure if it belongs in the horror forum, but it does have horrific elements, it's kind of like The Twilight Zone, but most episodes take place in the near future and involve computers, cell phones or TV (the "Black Mirror" referenced in the title). I blew through half of the new season last night and was happy to see that it's still really good. It really makes you think how we are interacting with technology in modern society, and not in a good way.
Anyway, highly recommended if you are looking to try out a new show.

I was pretty disappointed with the new season. The first two are pretty great, and ho boy that first episode is a DOOZY!

Loved the Christmas special but the ep with Bryce Howard was a bit of a chore, although I totally think that is the future.

Meaning to watch more but WestworldLukeCageFlashLegendsSuperstore happened.

I've been thinking about that a lot, especially lately. Thanks for the recommendation--I love TZ and will try to check out Black Mirror.

I liked the first half better than the second half of the Bryce Howard episode, but yeah, I think it's scarily accurate of where we're heading. It makes me hate social media even more. The Christmas special with Jon Hamm was awesome!

I'm caught up on Westworld, finished Luke Cage but am wayyyy behind on everything else! I guess I can't complain that there are too many good shows to watch.

Yeah, give it a shot, but be warned that the first episode of series one is a bit...different (probably offensive to some) but does not set the tone for the rest of the series, while the second episode does.
