Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror

Post by brisk »

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/black-mirror/4od

I finally caught up with this last night and it didn't disappoint. Proper dark, witty and has that awkward hilarity that Brooker does so well. It's probably the best satire i've seen since Brass Eye and comes highly recommended.
Charlie Brooker, the writer of E4's Dead Set, returns with a suspenseful, satirical three-part mini-series that taps into collective unease about our modern world
AKA, the prime minister is forced to fuck a pig on live tv, or a member of the royal family get's executed :olo:

2nd episode was brilliant too. Seriously you cunts, just watch it (you may need a proxy if you're outside the UK, or just use your imagination instead)

Oh and don't bother watching it Tsakali, as you won't understand what is happening.

Oh shit, Brass Eye is also on 4od. Watch them both and understand why British comedy > any other country.

Thanks for the recommendation.
I just watched the first "pig" episode. Fuck me, takes a seriously twisted mind to come up with that one. Have the next 2 eps ready to watch, but seems pretty untoppable.
Charlie Brooker owns. Also love Dead Set and his News Wipe stuff.

Unable to acquire Brass Eye through the usual channels, though :(
