NP - Black Mirror Season 3

[Mark Thibodeau]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

This series has included some of the most vital, successful, and I
would (and will) argue IMPORTANT works of fiction produced so far in
the 21st century. They will be milestones and touchstones by which
future generations will mark, measure and compare all future works of
socially aware speculative fiction, not unlike the way Twilight Zone
informed so much that succeeded it.

I mean, there's a reason why the contemporary Chinese intelligentsia
have taken to it like no other Western product before

Anybody else here have an opinion on Brooker's incredible series? And
has anybody here other than myself seen his series Nathan Barley,
which was equally groundbreaking? Unlike Black Mirror, which is
heralded, Nathan Barley was ignored. I think mostly because it was a
slashing expose of the kind of people who review such things for a
living, but what do I know? I was only one of them at the time...
