[Netflix] Black Mirror: Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too

[Ga[M]er]

 

Black Mirror is a British television anthology series created by Charlie Brooker that features speculative fiction with dark and sometimes satirical themes that examine modern society, particularly with regard to the unanticipated consequences of new technologies.[1] The first two seasons of the series were produced by Zeppotron for Endemol. The show was first broadcast on Channel 4 in 2011. In September 2015, Netflix commissioned a third season of 12 episodes. The commissioned episodes were later divided into two seasons of six episodes; the third season was released on Netflix worldwide on 21 October 2016. The fourth season was released on 29 December 2017, followed by a special Bandersnatch that was released on 28 December 2018. The fifth season was released worldwide on 5 June 2019.

Regarding the programme's content and structure, Brooker noted, "each episode has a different cast, a different setting, even a different reality. But they're all about the way we live now – and the way we might be living in 10 minutes' time if we're clumsy."[2] The series has received critical acclaim, and has seen an increase in interest internationally (particularly in the US) after being added to Netflix.[3] Stephen King, in particular, has noted his interest in the series.[3][4]
