Black Mirror

The originality of each episode and grand scale of newer seasons is what keeps viewers coming back! They come introducing new actors, new plots, new technologies to this show and it continues to become more and more polished.

This show is a great for deep thinking.. it will make you question humanity and what motivates people- each episode has a different plot but they are all connected by the underlying questioning of what drives peoples’ actions.

This show is the “Twilight Zone” of the 21st century. It is often described as the events of tomorrow, not the distant future. I believe that is a fair statement as it deals with themes and storylines that, although might be hyperbolized and seem far fetched, are actually super relevant to the issues of today. Often times while watching “Black Mirror” I will feel uneasy, not because of the content, but because of how easily I can see some of the events in the show happening within the next fifty years, sometimes even less than ten years. THAT is why this show is brilliant. Because it shows you realities that could happen and they’re absolutely terrifying. It doesn’t use cheap tricks to scare and disturb you. It takes life and throws it back in your face. And there is nothing scarier than that.
