    Black mirror on Netflix

    I just started watching black mirror on Netflix....highly recommend. For those not aware it’s an anthology series and has a very heavy resemblance to the twilight zone. Each episode (thus far) takes place in the near future (5-10 years based on the tech).

    Wow! I’m blow away...last night I watched “nosedive”, I can see society headed this way and I weep for our future...in this episode society has been broken down to a class system where your class is determined by a 5 star rating that you rely on others to give you, think “likes” on Facebook or the number of Instagram followers..kind of ironic as I post this on social media but it makes me want to delete all my social media. People walk around with their heads in their phones and after each interaction they rate the other person. Scary stuff!

    My favorite ones are San Junipero and Hang the DJ.

    Also I would probably be up innahills looking rangy and getting muh Fist Blood on if I had to live in Nosedive.

    Men Against Fire wasn't as cliche as it seems. Not original but handled way better.

    White Bear and White Christmas were probably my favorites. Blanking on the name but the one with Bron from Game of Thrones was awesome too. Pretty much all of them were good except for the Waldo one, that was disappointing.

    If you haven’t seen any of them don’t read anything about them and just go watch

    Fan of the series also. Callister and Metalhead were interesting.

    I have found most of the episodes pretty interesting and worthy of water cooler talk. A few were so boring that I didn't finish them or just skipped to the end. A well made show that's worth a watch.

    Hope it gets better. That entire episode was pointless and devoid of any twilight zone style.

    And if anyone hasn't yet watched "The Babysitter", it's brilliant.
    That’s a rough one to start with. I always tell people to start with basically any other one and come back to that one later.

    Season 1, episode 1 is usually where I start.

    99.99 of the time that would make sense, with this series you can watch any episode anytime. They don’t follow each other.

    I actually started by accident with season 4 episode 1, I went back and started at season 1 episode 1 and noticed that i had already watched a few years back...I never watched another episode then because I didn’t like it. Glad I went back and gave it another try.
