Black Mirror is a British television drama series created by Charlie Brooker. 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."

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. Channel 4 describes the first episode as "a twisted parable for the Twitter age".
Sounds interesting. I'll have to go find it :)

The first one was right out there, and asked some serious questions about todays technology.

The second was a bit too 1984 for me.

The third wasn't bad, but nothing on the first.

Watched the final two episodes and I really enjoyed them. More so than the first one I think.

Dear god, that is so horrifically depressing. Most definitely not something you watch at 5pm with the family.

It most definitely raises some good points though - about society.
