    Black Mirror (UK)

    Saw the ad today and nearly pi**ed myself with delight!



    Orwell always springs to mind when watching these n if you like dramas that have a dark philosophical undertone about modern life, I certainly recommend checking out the 1st series if you havent seen them b4 this is aired.

    The Entire History of You, is my personal favorite, such a clever idea and when put visually really get you thinking!

    "Set in an alternative reality where most people have a 'grain' implanted behind their ear which records everything they do, see or hear. This allows memories to be played back either in front of the person's eyes or on a screen, a process known as a 're-do'."

    Probably the best thing I've seen on television in quite a few years. 'The Entire History Of You' was perhaps my least favourite of the episodes (which might not be a coincidence because Brooker didn't actually write that one, although to be fair Jesse Armstrong did) but all three were still fantastic. The one I thought was the best was '15 Million Merits', the '1984' of our generation.

    Was so happy when I heard they were doing a second series. I was actually being too pessimistic by assuming such a clever show would be ignored by most people. Massively looking forward to this next series.

    I saw the Reality show episode and the History of you episode, I know I missed one to do with some guy having sex with pig carcasses, so I am glad I missed that one, but the ones I did watch were good, for a TV show anyway (TV usually is all just bollox imo, besides some documentaries etc).

    It's not that clever, but it is far smarter than the average ******** you get on TV.

    This series was so good. Actually didn't know there was a second series being made. Can't wait. Loved Charlie brooker for years, even though he's been a bit "family man" of late.

    Well all 3 new episode have been aired and im glad to say that i enjoyed all of them, with " White Bear " being my favorite .... it was pretty dark to begin with, got even crazier and then the twist and the end blew me away ... right up there with the pig loving primeminister

    Was wondering what other people thought about this series and what was ure fav episode of the series?

    Of course if u missed it ... its avalible on 4OD for a month or so ..... or on C4`s youtube page via a uk proxy for those outside of the uk
