Watch Netflix’s “Black Mirror” if you like “Orphan Black”
I just binge watched the first two seasons of the British TV program Black Mirror on Netflix. If you liked Orphan Black you should definitely watch Black Mirror. Fuck that. You should watch Black Mirror even if you didn’t like Orphan Black.
Each episode of Black Mirror stands alone and is completely unrelated to the other episodes. Unrelated other than the fact that each one will make you think about and how we interact with each other and technology. Every single episode made me think about my own interactions with technology (e.g., the smart phone most of us carry with us 24/7). Not to mention my own base instincts about retributive justice or what it means to interact with someone I love.
Very few TV shows have affected me as deeply as Black Mirror. A similar TV series which was too short lived was The Booth at the End on Hulu.
