Black Mirror anyone? (TV Show - Netflix)

I love this show, just started season 4. WOW. The new Twilight Zone for sure, this is it.

That Star Trek episode was very good and disturbing!


Featuring stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world. Each story features its own cast of unique characters, including stars like Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Help"), Alice Eve, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tom Cullen and Jerome Flynn ("Game of Thrones"). Joe Wright, Dan Trachtenberg, and James Watkins are among the featured directors.

Im not so crazy about the first 2 episodes of s4. Dont know why. I was blown away by every episode of s1 till S3. Its a very intelligent and well done serie. Maybe my expectations are too high for S4.

Not feeling Season 4 as well as I've enjoyed the other seasons. I did get a kick out of the 1st episode. I tried not to think too much on that episode, because I'll start complaining.

Interesting thought, I didn't notice that this season, and can't say it's true at the moment but if there is a theme this season, is this it?



The episodes of Black Mirror season 4 are more connected than you might think.

Black Mirror has always been an anthology series, so there’s usually no significant connection between each season, or even each episode within a season. The series is a collection of unrelated episodes that examine the potential consequences of emerging technologies, with each episode looking at the world through an entirely new lens.

Warning: This article contains spoilers from the episodes of Black Mirrorseason 4

While that’s still the case in Black Mirror seaon 4, for the first time, I noticed a larger theme that seemed to be touched on in every episode. Beyond the obvious recurring theme of the caution required when approaching new, unknown technological advancements, every episode seemed to come back to one question.

What would you do for love?

I have seen the first 3 episodes of Season 4 so far. Love the show, really love it. My favorite episode of the series until this moment is Nosedive. I loved aswell the first epidose of the fourth season, the best out of the first 3 episodes and that's saying something, 'cause the three of them are great.

I very much liked the first two seasons before it moved to Netflix, but have read mixed reviews about season four.

Right? although is sort of dark and bleak future the one they are apinting in the series, it's a very enjoyable show.
