This provocative series offers a dark reflection on modern society that invites viewers to look at the world, and their role in it, from a very difficult point of view. The themes, which explore humanity's relationship with (and desire for) technology, are decidedly universal, despite the fact that a large number of the series' stories take place somewhere in the United Kingdom.

It's a well-written and brilliantly produced high-concept show, and while some episodes make their point better than others, all present interesting ideas. Appearances by well-known actors like Rupert Everett, Jessica Brown Findlay, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Jon Hamm add to its appeal. All in all, Black Mirror offers a mature Twilight Zone-like viewing experience that is both entertaining and disturbingly captivating.
