Black Mirror is great indeed. Charlie Brooker's got good ideas...
If you like grim, slightly dystopian british TV series, check Utopia too (Black Mirror episodes are standalone whereas Utopia is an ongoing series, though).

I saw the first three of these.
The PM and the pig is fucking mindblowing.
So hilarious.
So bleak.
Blackest comedy ever.

The pm one was good. I hated it by the end though... way too heavy handed for my taste :idk:

I've only watched 3 Episodes of BM thus far.

I think I'm already on Season 2 - I'm watching on Netflix.

All the episodes have been good thus far. I think I've watched four:

The PM one, The people on cycles/Hot Shot singing show, The memory recording grain, and the guy who dies whose memories and uploaded into a new body.

All have deep and profound commentaries on our social world.

I heard it's been cancelled, but there's apparently a US remake project.

Damn, I checked and you're right. That makes me a bit sad, I really liked that series and a third season would have made sense...
And I'm not really interested in an US remake, these things usually end up being terrible.

Bump. Anyone seen the new season? Just watched the first episode and it's really fucking good.

Oh man, just wait. The back to back combo of 2 and 3 was amazing. Episode 2 is creepy fun and 3 is sad and terrifying.

I haven't watched any Black Mirror, yet. But, it is on my list, and I'm looking forward to it.
