Everyone’s been talking about "Black Mirror." I heard tales of horror about this show but I also heard how brilliant it was and that’s what made me finally watch it. I wasn’t disappointed. Not one bit.

Yes, "Black Mirror" is scary, but not the kind of scary you are thinking about. It isn’t the kind of scary like "Conjuring" or "Insidious;" it isn't jump scares. It’s the type of horror that sneaks up on you when you finish the episode, switch off the laptop and then sit down and think about how normal it seemed or how futuristic. The one thing that is true about all "Black Mirror" episodes is how relatable it is. After every episode, it is something you could see yourself doing in the future.

And then suddenly it’s terrifying.

One wrong decision or wrong step and our lives could become a "Black Mirror" episode (case in point: "The Waldo Moment"). It is completely horrifying to think about and that's what makes Black Mirror a show that can’t be binge-watched for most people. Watching more than one episode per day can only be handled by those who thrive in dark humor.

Every episode starts off as casually as possible and it lures the watcher in by allowing them to think that it is going to be a normal, sweet, nice and completely bland episode but then there is always a dark twist that derails the whole episode and leaves the watcher completely blindsided. That is when you know you have watched a "Black Mirror" episode.

Each episode attacks a different form of technology or focuses on a slightly more developed form of pre-existing technology and makes it better or worse. "Black Mirror" exists in the grey area of morals that shows how technology brings about a new way of thinking and a new set of rules on which the world revolves.

"Black Mirror" is necessary to watch because the human race needs to stop and think about what we are doing with technology. Like the wise wandmaker, Garrick Ollivander said about Voldemort, “he did terrible things, terrible but great”, this can be applied to technology. It is amazing and brilliant but we must be careful about the implications of it in our lives.

If all of this didn’t convince you to watch it, let me just tell you this. "Black Mirror" may be thrilling and worrisome, but also incredibly smart and outrageous in the best possible way. It will make you think, it will make you frustrated and horrified and it will be the best thing you have watched this year. Take it from one addicted "Black Mirror" fan, it will blow your mind.
