I've just discovered this series. There are only 7 episodes currently (6 on Netflix). I found the 7th episode on YT
I love it. It's a British series sci-fi series that's been called the new Twilight Zone. It's about the dark side of our growing use of technology.
Has anyone else watched it? What did you think? What was your favorite episode?

Netflix keeps pushing it on me (top of my suggested list) but I haven't watched it yet. I've heard it's not one to watch with other people, that it might make you uncomfortable. True?

A friend of ours, whose TV choices we trust, has been recommending this and we were just talking about it last night! We are still working our way through Peaky Blinders (and highly recommend), and then plan to watch this next!

@Shutterbug: It will definitely make you uncomfortable. It will make you think about how you use technology and how you want your children to use technology.
Seems like they pulled out all the punches with the first episode in terms of level of comfort (don't worry nothing gory or gross is actually shown on screen). Even though episode 1 is one I see a lot of articles written about, episode 2 of season 2, "White Bear" hit me the most.
I think it's a good series to get people talking. I'd love DH to watch it so that we can talk about which is why I posted here. I need people to talk about this with.

@mrsjazz: Are there going to be more episodes coming? It sounds like something DH and I would be interested in watching, but I hate watching something that only lasts one season and abruptly stops.
@yoursilverlining: Loooove Peaky Blinders, totally have a crush on Cillian Murphy now. I'm sad we finished the 2nd season and there's no release date for the 3rd.

Yep we love it! My favorite was the one with the bikes- "Fifteen Million Merits."

@IRunForFun: This is one of those British series with only a few episodes per season. It's in it's 3rd season but there are only 7 episodes, seems like 3 episodes per season. There's only been one episode for season 3, so I'm sure there will be more.
And it's not a connected series with the same characters. It's like the Twilight Zone where there's a new story, new cast each episode.
@yoursilverlining: I haven't heard of Peaky Blinders. Will check it out.

@erinpye: Yay! I liked that one, too but I think my favorite is a tie between the memory one, "The Entire History of You" and the Christmas episode with Jon Hamm.

@IRunForFun: I was just telling DH last night that Cillian Murphy is like Benedict Cumberbatch for me - sometimes really hot and sometimes really not. It's weird how one person can be both hot and not at the same time! 
@mrsjazz: I'm very intrigued by your post/description, so I may have to move up our "watch date" plan for Black Mirror!!

@mrsjazz: The Entire History of You is a close second for me! Apparently Robert Downey Jr. has optioned it for a movie, too. I haven't seen the one newest one with Jon Hamm yet- I can't wait to see it!

@mrsjazz: I've never heard of this series but you've got me curious! I'll have to check it out.

@yoursilverlining: YES! Well I was telling DH I had a crush on him and he was like "You've never said that about him in his other roles" and I didn't even remember that he'd been in a couple movies we've seen. It's just this particular role!
@mrsjazz: Ahhh, gotcha. I think this will have to be the next series we check out!

I've only watched the first two episodes so far....and that show is SO good. I'm going to have to watch the others!

I just watched the first episode last night and it was really good! I'm kinda bummed DH didn't stick around or try to really get into it with me. Ugh, I can only take some many shows of swamp loggers/gold rush/hillbilly fishing.

This has been on my short list for a while. We should watch soon. Looking forward to it.

Love it. The guy who writes it, Charlie Brooker, is an excellent satirist and writes regular newspaper articles and also makes show called "Screenwipe" that's well worth checking out.
