Black Mirror

This has to be, hands down, my favorite new find on Netflix. I know it's been around for a few years, but I'm only now catching up.

If you're not familiar, it's an anthology similar in style to the Outer-limits, or The Twilight Zone.

Anyway, just thought some of you might dig this show.

It recently had a christmas special, I've yet to watch it

I'm a massive fan of Charlie Brooker, you should check out his Screenwipe series, full episodes can be found on Youtube

Oh really? Thanks! I've only had the chance to watch season 1 and 2 on Netflix, and it left me wanting more.
I'll scan youtube for Screenwipe.

I'm hooked, for sure.
With some series I can binge a whole season, but with these, after each ep, I want to "digest" a bit before watching the next. Do you find that?

Might be just me.

Finally got to watch the 3rd episode. By far my favorite so far. Really amazing episode.

I hope the 2nd season is the same quality of S1.

I saw the first episode and really disliked it. I felt like it was really heavy handed with the whole "hey guys, doesn't the internet and social media just suuuuck?". Yeah, yeah, heard it a bunch before. I get that's the point, but it wasn't for me.

I guess I also just don't find sex with a pig funny, even in a "dark humor" kind of way.

I don't think we were meant to find the pig sex funny. Maybe you missed the bigger picture.

And clearly, it wasn't that far from reality.

Stoked, to put it mildly.

They sometimes have the awful art school obvious "hidden" message pushed in, but they get me more often then most programs. Which isn't that often lol.
