Topic: Black Mirror on Netflix

This Is an awesome fucking show! Its like the Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, or Tales of the Crypt, without monsters or ghosts. Each episode is self contained and revolves around technology and the human condition. The two best episodes in my opinion, are called White Bear, which is about a woman who wakes up with amnesia and is stalked by killers, and Fifteen Million Merits, which is about people who humiliate themselves on reality tv.
Its best not to look up these episodes before watching.

I saw two episodes of that (in sociology, for some reason). Certainly some dark stuff. I don't think it was really for me, but it was obviously a very smart piece of television.

White Christmas 16 December 2014

Charlie Brooker is also a fan of Adam curtis and i recommend you see his documentaries.

@OP

Black Adder was on Netflix first, and is the better of the two, Thanks.

I like Black Adder, but the shows are too different to be compared.

Why did they use the same naming convention... if they *didnt* want to be compared to Blackadder?

the first one was pretty surprising and set the tone nicely. i liked it, but the second one was even better. love that kinda stuff. the third one was pretty sad and very good itself, but not my fav. the 3rd one was a frightening prospect for the future though. i'm about to watch the 5th one (4rd seems like it might be my least fav.

my brother really liked the 5th one.

The second and fifth are my favorites. The third (the entire history of you) has been purchased by Robert Downey Jr to be made into a movie.

yeah, i'm not surprised to hear that one got picked up, that'll actually make a good flick. a chick flick, but with scifi memory chips and shit. but yeah, i could see that.

I wish that we would treat child molesters like that in real life.
