It doesn't
It was good but nothing special
White Bear was kind of cool I guess. Still have 3 others to watch

Black Mirror is not a happy show. It is very good, But other than the absurdity of Ep 1, I haven't laughed
Episode 1 of Season 1 was absurd and funny because of the kidnappers demand. But when they got down to it, it was sad and pathetic.
Episode 2 is just depressing
Episode 3 (The Entire History of You) is a standard jealous husband/hot wife/ mysterious stranger triangle, but having to watch it over and over, damn. Makes me glad i am not in a relationship.

I don't think that will make it any less weird.

Season 1
Episode one "The National Anthem " - Grade : B
Very interesting start to the series. A little tongue in cheek but very cool commentary on what our society has become with regards to fixating on trainwrecks, groupthink/mob mentality of social media, and it's impact (for the worse) on politics/society.
Episode two "Fifteen Million Merits" - Grade : A
Again, very out there, but not too unrealistic a notion of the masses grinding away, captivated by the entertainment industry. As a marketing guy, the full screen cells/rooms with forced consumption was pretty interesting and semi-plausible as well

I think Audience is an exclusive directv channel.
It looks like you can stream it on the UK channel that aired it, but I'm not getting it to work.
Maybe you have to sign up on the site.

Must not be on on demand yet, search only pulls up season 1 and 2.

Available ondemand if you have directv. Personally, I don't think it's worth getting Netflix just for it.

Eh, it's pretty good, but there's only six episodes. Maybe if it was a couple full seasons worth of content.

Tend to agree here. If Netflix had a 1 week free trial you could easily knock it out. Or borrowing a GB's Netflix login and watch them over a weekend would work too.

Ive enjoyed the whole series and believe it's worth watching, but not enough to get Netflix for.(HULK) said:
However i highly recommend getting Netflix because it's awesome. Oh, and as far as "Series Good Enough To Get Netflix For", there's Arrested Development, House of cards, Archer, Breaking Bad, more.
For anyone looking for the Xmas special, try this video site called "YouTube". The kids rave about it.

Just watched "WhiteBear:, that was messed up.
I do have a lot of questions, but it is the best one I have seen so far. Only the Waldo episode and hopefully can find the Xmas one soon.
I want to know how many times they have done this to that woman. Yes, I know that this woman and her fiance had done a monstrous act, but they have put her through with this at least 18 times. My thought is they have done it to her longer..a lot longer.
And at what point do people tire of it?
Does it always happen as planned?

White bear-
I don't think the punished woman was the point. Her memory is always wiped so that the "punishment" has no lasting effect except that it's taking years off her life that she won't remember, like sleeping through your prison sentance. Not the worst thing ever.
I thought it was an exaggeration on how we like to see a guilty person get punished (People's Court, Court TV, etc). Another angle on the media desensitizing us, except it was vague because the set was a memorial/tourist attraction instead of the more logical imo TV set with live viewer audience.

White Bear:
Definitely didn't always happen as planned. Remember when the other chick threatened to tazer her if she picked up the phone. It's a small tour so I bet there would be a long list to get in on it. A couple of TV seasons worth at least.
I think we should be able to lose spoilers by now. *SPOILERS*

Got AppleTV and Netflix this week so finally caught this show, only watched the first episode but liked it a lot. Felt bad for the PM though, heck even felt bad for the pig.

These shows are all whacked. White Bear extremely so.

For fans of Black Mirror, there's another British anthology show 'Inside No. 9' that's good.
Personally, I didn't like the first episode "Sardines" and would recommend saving it for last. Nice twist at the end but I don't really like this style of uncomfortable British humor, at least not 30 minutes straight of it.

It gets better and better. Than worse. Then better again.
The whole first season is amazing. The second is mostly great. Haven't seen the holiday episode yet, its not on Netflix, but Jon Hamm is in it - I've heard its really good.
Really wish there was a serial pulpy sci-fi show on tv nowadays. Its a shame it seems like they are a dead genre outside of black mirror.

Just watched the first three episodes. The Entire History of You reminded me a bit of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That episode in particular felt so realistic and genuine, like I could definitely see things playing out in real life exactly like that.
Thought it was an interesting detail when they were having mundane married person sex that they were both redoing a more torrid session from earlier in their relationship.
