Black Mirror - Channel 4

Charlie Brooker's new three part mini-series on contemporary life, with a significant black comedy twist.

In particular our current obsession with the new drug, technology and more importantly the side effects of this new euphoria.
Think contemporary twilight zone.
The Links could not viewable outside the UK, but I'm sure you will find a way.

Part one. The National Anthem.
Centred on the role of social media and to a lesser extent tabloid papers and their shaping of our lives. In many cases through illegal or detrimental means, see current News International scandal.

Part One

Part Two. 15 Million Merits
This time less a satire on the British media but more on the role of numbing media. The Xfactor and it's ilk and the homogenised, processed vomit they regurgitate to us(You can see what sort of slant I have, ohh well so much for impartiality). Of particular interest is the final speech by Bing and its consequences.

Part Two

Part Three will be up Sunday 18th Channel 4

I watched the first one and it had a very interesting ending.
It also demonstrated the problems of a media blackout with twitter around these days and news of the world type reporters

What is most interesting is that even as it was becoming more and more disturbing, we in the "real world" the supposed impartial party kept watching.

We became part of the narrative itself. Very few things have ever made me watch them like this.
