Black Mirror (2011 – 2025)

When humanity really looks at itself, the effect can be startling. Take this show, for example: viewers may think they’re watching science fiction, when, in reality, they’re seeing ‘real’ life from a non-judgmental observer’s point-of-view. In fact, if there truly is a god, (s)he will be the one watching us.

The opening title image, seen above, comes from Series 1, Episode 2: “Fifteen Million Merits”.

Ah, celebrity status as the ultimate reward? In today’s society that would seem to be the case. But, as I’m always reminded, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors, and a ‘perfect’ life can still be sterile.

Whether we watch any further depends on our mood for the day. I suspect we’ve already had enough.
