Overview
Over the last ten years, technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives before we've had time to stop and question it. In every home; on every desk; in every palm - a plasma screen; a monitor; a smartphone - a black mirror of our 21st Century existence. Black Mirror is a contemporary British re-working of The Twilight Zone with stories that tap into the collective unease about our modern world.

Black Mirror is completely awesome!

I found this serie because Arcade Fire's song Black Miror (duh?) and I fell in love. The stories change in every episode and that's kinda sad because it's so catchy that you start have feels for the characters. Watch it now!
