How to describe Black Mirror? It's a show in which each episode is a stand alone story. You don't need to watch them in order as they do not connect to each other and they have different actors and actresses. Each episode is a fictional story about how technology can lead to negative effects on society. And yes, some of it is hard to believe. It is fictional after all, but much of this you can see as having a slim possibility of occurring at some point in the future. Think about how we are connected and dependent on technology today. Our phones, our laptops, our touch screens, our many, many connected devices. What if those were used to control the masses, beyond ways in which they already are? That's the plot of each Black Mirror episode. A thrilling, exciting, and yes, a bit scary TV series. There are only 22 episodes to date, so I will catch up soon and need to find something new to watch until the next season of Black Mirror is out.
Heads up parents, this show is rated MA and not suitable for young children.
