If you enjoyed "Black Mirror" written by Charlie Brooker on Channel 4, then this is a heads up to tell you that you can enjoy a new exclusive series for Netflix which is now all US based, the first episode is about a dystopian future society based on a hierarchy around people's social media rankings, I thought that was very absorbing and surreal although I couldn't understand what we were meant to take from the ending of it.

Good to have some new quality television like this, I wonder if Channel 4 will now not get to show "Black Mirror" now that Season 3 is exclusive to Netflix.

Another big treat for Netflixers is next year when Better Call Saul - Season 3 premieres!

They're not all US based. 'Shut Up and Dance' for example is British...

Playtest is also set in Britain (although it has an American character).

I'm really enjoying Series 3 of Black Mirror; feels like the show has been opened up so much more.

As for what you're meant to take away from the first one:

The last episode, with the robot bees, was by far the best in my opinion.

Loved almost every episode, especially San Junipero. One thing I didn't get is:

I watched this last night and have been puzzling over the same question all day. I would love to hear the opinions of anyone else who watched it...I guess it would all have to be in spoilers though! Very powerful piece of drama, raising all sorts of thought-provoking stuff. Beautifully acted too.

Watched Shut Up And Dance a couple of weeks ago and am still in bits, and questioning all my own judgements about everything. My goodness, talk about tension!

Absolutely loved Nosedive....am hesitating over watching Playtest, as I get the feeling it's pretty disturbing, and I'm the type who has nightmares once something I've watched gets into my head! Should I risk it? Is it worth it? Or shall I jump straight to Hated In the Nation, which I gather is really good according to the reviews?

Hated in the nation is like watching a movie due to its length. It is very good and as I dont do social media I found the twist quite satisfying although quite disturbing.
