The first two seasons of Black Mirror are probably my favorite content ever to be produced for TV. It's been fuel for a couple existential crisis's and it wears proudly it's heart on it's sleeve. No other TV show has put me in such a trance like state. Every single single scenario feels absolutely plausible, and when it doesn't, it's only because of this coating of sarcasm that makes itself obvious to the spectator. The casting is perfect. What I love the most is the fact that every single episode becomes absolutely captivating after maybe 20 minutes, and never stops from there. I don't see this as a science fiction show. To me it feels like a social experiment, where they basically created a sandbox in order to play with the flaws of humans, showing that no matter how much technology evolves, we're still the same.

If only I could say that about the entire series.

After White Christmas, the stories lost their meaning. You can still enjoy the very forward thinking implementation of how humans would react to new tech, but it definitely feels more plastic. It's politics are mostly gone, and only present in very cliche narratives. This doesn't apply to everything though, Hang the DJ and San Junipero are both beautiful examples of how much they can play with your emotions in a productive way.

Give this show a try. Even if you disagree with it's premise, it's still nutrient-rich fruit for thought.
