I picked up on most of the major plot twists pretty quickly but it didnt dampen my enjoyment of it. I thought it was great.

The end literally made me squirm uncomfortably. Fantastic episode as usual.

One thing that made no sense to me:
Spoiler:
What's the point of the bit at the end, where they're punishing the AI simulation of the guy with millions of years of virtual prison time? It doesn't affect the real guy, so why bother?
I took it as a critique of the justice system. Essentially for it to be effective, it has to be staffed by people capable of inflicting inhumane punishments, and willing to carry out the enforcement of the law without questioning its merits. The closing scene was the absolute extreme of police and prosecutors going out after work to drink alcohol in celebration of a successful marijuana prosecution.

I found it on DirecTV. Not sure if it's available legally elsewhere yet.

Just noticed 4od are trying to get some viral marketing going for a show called Humans, which seems to have borrowed the android concept from the Be Right Back episode from this series. Unfortunately doesn't look like Charlie Brooker is involved in the writing but I noticed a number of actors from both Black Mirror and Utopia so it could have some decent potential.

It's actually a remake of this series but I am looking forward to it.

Trailer for the original *NSFW*

Watched this yesterday. Great stuff.

IMO:
1. White Bear
2. Entire History of You
3. Be Right Back
4. The National Anthem
5. 15 Million Merits
6. The Waldo Moment

Top three were just totally elite tv. Wow. Love the themes this show explores. WRT White Bear: Is it really that cruel of a punishment if she can't remember it the next day? Hmmmmmmm....

Def wasn't as keen on 15MM as most of you. Was bored through most of it. Waldo was pretty bad iyam.

Where the F is this xmas ep??!!!

Agree with this. White Bear was my favourite by quite a bit. RE the punishment - I think it's worse that she forgets everything. She's living in a constant state of confusion and terror and never gets a opportunity to come to terms with her actions.

Or download the torrent in 1080p for perfect quality, and watch on computer (if screen is big enough) or better yet, a Smart TV.

Saw the Xmas episode over the weekend.

Super great. Up there for best BM episode. Very freaky.

Being blocked like that is harsh.

Watched all 7 episodes over the course of a week or so. Didn't think the Waldo episode or the christmas episode were as good as the other episodes.

Will Brooker write all of them? Don't see how he can churn out more than 4 a year.
