Black Mirror

This series has just the right mix of near-future tech, social commentary and storytelling. Almost too good for tv.

Will leave you feeling miserable and/or uncomfortable. Charlie Brooker, the genius behind the excellent Dead Set, delivers a cynical look at the ways media and technology bring out the worst in us or dominate our empty lives. Essential viewing if you're a misanthrope.

Extremely well made miniseries that offers satirical look at todays media and technology crazy society. Special effects are stunning, considering this was made for TV. Each episode offers slightly different mood, but the plot is very involving. Excellent!

The Twilight Zone of the modern era. Sure, in 30...hell, 10 years...we'll look back at the technology that is central to all these episodes and laugh at how wrong they were, but nobody today judges the Twilight Zone on the creators' inability to accurately predict when humanity would achieve time travel, we marvel at their uncanny ability to creep us the fuck out--something Black Mirror will most likely be doing for decades to come.

I would rather comment on each episode; but overall if you enjoy political sci-fi, this series is something you shouldn't miss. Each episode is a very high quality sci-fi short story with very well designed ethical dilemma and political commentary perfectly wrapped up in a package of high quality production and drama. Wehn criticism of technology comes from someone who obviously likes technology, it becomes more real. Just like Waldo...

Fantastic first two seasons & Christmas special. Third and fourth still have an amazing episode or two each but also some clunky ones. Fifth season I think Brooker needs to transition fully into the Red Mirror aspect because it is getting tired. Best part about all of it is the couple of seconds after it ends, when you're suddenly confronted with your own slouched reflection in the tv screen, bonus points if your other half's face is lit up from his/her phone checking social media.

Watching these is like being surrounded by 3 separate art installations. You can submit to the reflected numbers, join them or walk away. Excellent name choice too.

The previous season, like other seasons, inspired bile- but something happened that i never expected: S7 is a decent, if not good, season of Black Mirror. I seriously can’t believe i’m typing this as a big hater. Is this bc my expectations are so low? I tested this and no, i still hate the previous seasons. S7 is fun and pretty inspired, the Throng episode with Eutow by Autechre on the climax is an amazing moment. The other episodes are fun too (except the Callister one)

I normally enjoy dark, thought provoking sci-fi but the 5 episodes I watched often had a sadistic element to them making them unnecessarily disturbing.

teknolojiyle ve en önemlisi tv ile alay edip bunun en büyük satıcısı netflixle anlaşmak bile başlı başına bir facia. ilk 2 sezonu bitirip pes ettim. 7 bölümün 5'i inandırıcılığın çok gerisinde utandırıcı seviyede absürt. eleştiriler bazen anlamlı olsa da göze parmak sokmadığı kalmış. ben günümüz seyircisinin neye puan verdiğini artık gerçekten anlayamıyorum ya. neyse adettendir. s1: 50-55-70 - s2: 45-20-45-30
