Charlie Brooker's 2014 Wipe

[Laura]

Yes, it absolutely is the best sci fi out there.  15 Million Merits is the one that really haunts me - a 1984 for our times. Soul-crushing! National Anthem is solidly entertaining, and was newly relevant during that whole SONY/Interview fiasco.

Haven't been able to see White Christmas yet.
