We all know that our future is going to be bright and full of advanced technology. But will that be a good thing? This show will put life and technology advancement into perspective AKA it will make you think so hard, your mind will explode. We all love our social media, but what if instead of on Instagram, you gave "likes" in real life? What is the amount of "likes" or "dislikes" you have is equal to what we called a FICO credit score today? What if you couldn't enter restaurants if you had a low rating? Or buy your own dream home? Weird right? Lets keep the "like" to Instagram and Facebook, please!
What if cyber bullying was taken to the next level, resulting in murder? What if we came up with alternative fuel and energy, but our lower income and poor class suffered to make it happen? What if we could make clones of ourselves, available for the elite class? But what if those clones had feelings? What if we were able to save our memories, but replay bad ones over and over again? What if we were able to block people IN REAL LIFE. What if we were so afraid of dying, we never did? What if we got sent to an artificial heaven, because we were afraid of there not being a real one? And what if virtual reality became so advanced, you couldn't escape?
Black Mirror, a sharp and suspenseful drama, with a satirical story and plot, that explores the future of our technological advances, and in a sense, our paranoia. The show taps into our very sense of unease, making us feel very uncomfortable about where our future is headed. Its a show that provides satirical stories that we've all thought in our head, but never thought to talk about. Most the episodes are very relate-able to technology advancement today. And other episodes are totally out of the ordinary, and absolutely insane. Each story has its own cast, and unique characters, so each episode doesn't follow off from where the other episode left off. Its a different story each time, which is what makes it so suspenseful and coming back for more!
Politics, technology, social media, emotions, social class, scandals, infidelities, life after death, you name it. This show talks about it ALL. Without spoiling it for you, all I can say is you won't be dissapointed, and you will be CRAVING more after the first 2 episodes. WARNING: The first episode is INSANE. Actually, every episode is insane!
