    A great show, it reveals a lot in regards to future technology.

    I like it. I think I've watched all the episodes. Sort of like a techno-twilight zone.
    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    Lost all its raw power after season 2 when it moved overseas to the US production teams that diligently sandpaper all of its rough edges to make it presentable to a more lets say easily offended audience. Pity.
    Still good tho. Above average in most cases. Certainly very educative. I've shouldn't complain.

    That's a great analysis and kind of backs up something I have felt for some time in that Charlie Brooker is being employed as an intelligence asset (Jaysanalysis mentions MI6) of some sort.

    What's quite astounding to me is the first series portrays the Prime Minister as having sexual relations with a pig's head, bearing in mind this came out in 2011 and this 'story' didn't hit the mainstream media and an unsuspecting and unknowing public until 2015, four years after it was originally aired, when David Cameron was reported as having done this as part of a bizarre Oxford University fraternity initiation. It's almost like the guys responsible for this content are writing the script in advance for things yet to come.

    With so much blatantly uninspired guff on the airwaves, this show is original stuff that truly gets under your skin.
