Black Mirror (2011)
Great
Black Mirror is a British anthology series created by Charlie Brooker. While each episode presents a different world with different characters, all of them have a common underlying theme - the dark side of technology. In this review, I am going to discuss aspects of this TV series that makes it my favorite of all time.
Firstly, the show has the ability of presenting a very depressing, dystopian world that could actually happen in present time. This aspect makes the viewing experience much more terrifying. The characters presented are also three-dimensional and have a lot of nuance on them. This makes the audiences care and feel invested on them. Moreover, the high production values adds an extra layer of realism to the world since it looks very realistic. Additionally, the stories teaches a lot of moral lessons that audiences can learn. Last but not least, the great cinematography presents a visceral experience as every shot is composed beautifully, with a slow creeping camera movement and many wide shots.
It is a revolutionary piece of television that will stand the test of time and be remembered years from now.
