1st episode

A twisted parable for the Twitter age, Black Mirror taps into the collective unease about our modern world.

The first episode is a political thriller in which fictional Prime Minister Michael Callow faces a huge and shocking dilemma when Princess Susannah, a much-loved member of the Royal Family, is kidnapped.

Saw it when it first aired, loved it. Second one especially.

Hopefully more will be on the way at some stage.

Edit: Yay

Glad this has a second series, enjoyed aspects of the first and the dinner party episode was superb.

Aye it's excellent like, Charlie Brooker just doesn't miss a beat. Similar to Chris Morris, I'll watch anything he's involved in.

Was discussed in the 'what are you watching' thread at the time.

First one was gash IMO, other two were very good.

New episode in 5 minutes on Channel 4 for anyone interested.

This ones looks a bit f***ing weird.

Hayley Atwell, so that'll do me.

Fugazi · « **Reply #9 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:17:45 pm »

Watching it now.

Never saw the first series, worth skipping the first episode then?

Interpolic · « **Reply #10 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:20:27 pm »

They're all stand-alone episodes so it doesn't really matter.

Neil · « **Reply #11 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:20:40 pm »

Nah they're all stand-alone.

Fugazi · « **Reply #12 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:22:59 pm »

Sorry, I meant the first episode of the first series. After reading that it wasn't as good as the other 2 episodes.

It was a bit more comedic than the rest, thought it was decent though.

SiLvOR · « **Reply #14 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:46:52 pm »

Well. That was a good part.

Neil · « **Reply #15 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:49:19 pm »

Silvor's done.

Fugazi · « **Reply #16 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:51:14 pm »

Were all of those flooding clips from Newcastle?

SiLvOR · « **Reply #17 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:52:17 pm »

suddenly have the appropriate music playing in my head for this image

Fugazi · « **Reply #18 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 10:53:11 pm »

Ooh, it's her off Nathan Barley...

SiLvOR · « **Reply #19 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 11:05:50 pm »

Well that was pretty strange, glad I watched though. Makes a change from sitting here raging at FIFA at least.

FrenchWilliam · « **Reply #20 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 11:07:00 pm »

Was a bit crap really. Everything Charlie Brooker does has the feel of being written by some angsty sixth former.

Cajun · « **Reply #21 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 11:09:01 pm »

I love Brooker and loved the first 3 but that was a bit weird/boring

Interpolic · « **Reply #22 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 11:10:08 pm »

I really liked it, bit formulaic but fairly unsettling, pretty clever and as usual very well made.

elbee909 · « **Reply #23 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 11:13:17 pm »

Feels like a modern Tales of the Unexpected. No bad thing.

Neil · « **Reply #24 on:** Monday 11 February 2013, 11:16:46 pm »

I liked it. It's one of those, I don't think you watch it and think "wow what a watch that was, f***ing spectacular", but it was really engaging IMO. Can see why people would think it's a bit s*** and boring, equally.
