Anyone a fan of this? I really like it

Black Mirror is a British television anthology series created by Charlie Brooker and shows the dark side of life and technology. The series is produced by Zeppotron for Endemol. Regarding the programme's content and structure, Brooker noted, "each episode has a different cast, a different setting, even a different reality. But they're all about the way we live now — and the way we might be living in 10 minutes' time if we're clumsy."[1]

An Endemol press release describes the series as "a hybrid of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected which taps into our contemporary unease about our modern world", with the stories having a "techno-paranoia" feel.[2] Channel 4 describes the first episode as "a twisted parable for the Twitter age".[3] Black Mirror Series 1 was released on DVD on 27 February 2012.[4]

The 1st episode of season 1 was absolutely briliant. 2nd episode was garbage, predictible, pretentious and exaggerated throughout. But I'll def be downloading rest of it now that I've finished Wayward Pines and Westworld.
