Black Mirror (2011– )
2/10
Not my cup of tea
16 February 2020
Okay, I only watched the first two episodes, but this isn't the kind of thing I'm into and it seemed pretty pointless.

In the pilot, the PM has to bone a pig or the abducted princess will be bumped off. The drama is tight - I can't fault that - but was there any real point to the episode? Afterwards, had I not just wasted 45 minutes?

The second episode shows some bloke who is apparently a slave to the gaming and online world. It should be a scary future, but it was as boring as hell! I managed just over 10 minutes of the episode before I turned it off.

I have absolutely no intention to see the 3rd episode or any from the other series... to me, it felt like a grossly over-rated programme. Maybe if you haven't read the classics, such as A Brave New World and 1984, this will all seem like an eye-opener for you, but, personally, I'd rather spend my time watching something completely different or being outside.
