Black Mirror is a show that provides the important modern question that is very meaningful especially in this day and age. "Can technology go 'too' far?"

To put it very simply, it's sort of a modern form of the Twilight Zone. The show is easier to comprehend if you treat each episode as it's own separate universe. It has somewhat of a formula. Each episode, there is a problem. However, there is a piece of new tech that perfectly tackles the problem. Or so you think. Unseen consequences come with this tech, creating a problem equal to/ worse than before. For a show that sometimes follows such a basic formula, the plot is always fresh, new, and most importantly, interesting and thought provoking.

There's a sort of unique feeling you get while you're watching Black Mirror. A mixture of horror along with the morbid intrigue of watching a car accident. A wonderfully constructed car accident at that. The further you go, the more horrified you are, but at the same time, are presented with a plot that unfolds brilliantly.

The only preventing me from giving this a 10/10 was the fact some episodes were slightly dull in production. In any other show it would've been a good episode, however in the standards that Black Mirror sets within itself, some were lackluster. Also, this show does not appeal to all. This is clearly visible even in this review section. There are either 8-10 ratings or 1-3 ratings. It's like geometry. You either like it, or you don't.

Of course, there are complaints in this review section. A common complaint is about the first episode. In the first episode there is a scene where the Prime Minister is forced to rape a pig. That scene of course was very obscene. And I can imagine a good amount of people were disgusted by that. They immediately saw the scene, exited out of the Netflix and probably ranted online about how bad it was. They accuse Black Mirror of relying purely on shock value alone. This is far, far from the truth. The whole episode was to show how someone can influence a population with a few posts online, and how effective it can be. They essentially criticized Mob Mentality, showing how flawed it really is. If you cannot find a pretty clear message from a television show which explicitly states it's lesson, you're probably a bit to young to watch this show.
