Black Mirror, the show that is trending on Netflix right now and the show that everyone is watching, is circulating the net for a different reason this time. It's name.

So why is Black Mirror called Black Mirror? Well, you have probably guessed that it has something to do with darkness and a reflection of our society.

Nope.

The title is actually a reference to the reflection you see of yourself when your phone is switched off or unused. And it looks like an actual black mirror, despite seeing your reflection.

Mind blown.

The show's creator, Charlie Brooker, confirmed the news himself. He said:

“What I took it to mean was when a screen is off – when a screen is off it looks like a black mirror.

“Any TV, any LCD, any iPhone, any iPad—something like that—if you just stare at it, it looks like a black mirror, and there’s something cold and horrifying about that, and it was such a fitting title for the show.”

“I mean, I don’t know what else we would’ve called it – Spooky Technology Time?! It would’ve been rubbish.

“I quite like the fact that people are watching it on their TV or on their laptop, or their smartphone or whatever, and then as the end credits start running and the screen cuts to black, they see themselves reflected.”

Despite the name confusion/realisation, Black Mirror was one of the best things to come to Netflix. It really is very impressive.

What about you? Have you already finished Season 4 of Black Mirror?

SPOILER: It ain't as good as previous seasons and that's all we're going to say on that.

Responding to this, fans took to Twitter to give their honest opinions behind the meaning. Some were, legit, shook.

Now it all makes sense, the show is all about the possible effects technology could have on us, I'm shook pic.twitter.com/dPO1qSbBel — sam (@sam_thecreative) December 29, 2017

However, others seem quite upset that fans are only realising this now.
