Black mirror part 2

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Some of the best t.v i've seen at the moment and the perfect antidote to all that reality talent / gameshow bollocks. You can just see how this scary vision of the future could happen with society's insatiable craving for shit t.v and consumerism.
And Bings desperate impassioned rant at the end was mesmerising, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Great stuff Charlie Brooker

I'm glad it's not just me that thought it was brilliant. Both episodes have been very unique and very good.

First 10 today I wasn't sure but another piece of quality tv,hopefully the x factor crowd turned over and tuned in! 1.9 million tuned in to the first episode last week.

Also Jessica brown Findlay is hot!!

I have to confess I am a big Brooker fan but even with my high expectations I found that to be truly excellent television, up there with anything put out by any network ever.

Thoroughly excellent, captivating, chilling and poignant.

half way through watching it, found it ironic that the first advert that came up on 4OD was for the kinect....

Undoubtedly not mere coincidence

Undoubtedly not mere coincidence

hence why i thought it was ironic, not coincidence

It wasn't bad but not as good as xfactor

Little Mix!

Very good. Last weeks was a bit far fetched but this weeks was very foreseeable. The bird in it was gorgeous too

I watched the first half but turned over after that as it was going nowhere very slowly! Charlie Brooker cant go against the machine he is the machine FFS Murray! it's advertising revenue that pays for your program to be made!

Charlie Brooker is married to Konnie Huq!!

Awesome telly - the nation needs more stuff like this, not just the same old rehash of the same old shit

Loved it, glad it was on for hour and 20, as like I said last week, felt the first 1 was rushed, and yes, the last part was amazing

As he seemed so robotic and then he pops up with that rant, obviously he was meant to be robotic as it fit in with the society and what people have become

I eagerly await the final episode

Also, he hasn't been mentioned, but I thought rupert Everett was awesome as the judge, just his look was brilliant

As mentioned in another thread I think is was very good.

It was, however, a £2m production so Charlie Brooker could shout at Simon Cowell!!

It did indeed start a bit slowly, but then given that last week's felt rushed that was a good thing - and it was definitely going somewhere!

Was bloody brilliant television - shame they've only commissioned him to write 3 of them!

Kinect advert was definitely planned - but what about Brooker's favourite, the John Lewis one?!

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Great TV both have been excellent dark and possibly true vision of the future, Personly when I see Charlie Brooker as himself on TV i think he is a smug self rightious twat but as a writer he is proving to be a genuis

I get your point but I think there was more to it than that. It's more about where we are going as a society rather than just the tedium of x factor. The guy who played Bing should get an award. If for nothing else but for his confrontation with the judges at the end. I was blown away by that

Charlie Brooker is married to Konnie Huq!!

And the co-writer...
