Black Mirror - Complete Series 2 ( Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror: Series Two ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]

First episode sucks, second is even worse. So that's as far as I've got. Rediculously stupid.

Watching old Twilight Zone episodes on Netflix, I often imagine how people in the '60s must have felt watching such an intellectually stimulating, fantastical, and thought-provoking sci-fi/social commentary show. Compared with the standard fare at the time, I guess it must have been pretty mind-blowing for mainstream audiences.Except I don't have to imagine, because Black Mirror fits that bill to a T for the modern viewer. Indeed, the name of the series really tells it all - it's black (as in dark, moody, and sometimes very bleak) and it's a mirror held up to the technological obsessions and social foibles of today. This show is razor-sharp and if it doesn't give you pause about your own relationship to technology, you're either a luddite or deeply obtuse.I'm still haunted by the episode White Bear a year later...

4 stars because I am American and i want MORE ! I need 8 or more episodes in one season :)

Doesn't work

One month after receiving this and changing my computer dvd zoning code, I realized both seasons of black mirror are streaming on netflix. still glad I made this purchase. Not quite the high standard of the first season, but tremendously mind-bending episodes non the less.

I made it though 2-1/2 episodes of the first season. The first episode with the pig (referred to as brilliant and insightful by Black Mirror fans), the one where the guy rips out his eyeball, and (almost) through the punishingly boring dance contest.You'd think that was enough, and it should have been. But I could not grasp how something so relentlessly grim, negative, sadistic and cliched could be so well liked. I read that White Bear was the best of all the episodes. It's a combination of cliches from Running Man to Hunger Games but nothing new. The story might have inspired some thought if it was a bit realistic, but the flaw is that the audience, which is everyone, actually enjoys seeing someone suffer, over and over. That would be like everyone wanting to watch B.M. over and over.

I liked season 2 even more than the excellent season 1."Be Right Back" is a deeply moving story of a woman devastated when her lover is killed in a car accident. Unable to move forward in her life, her best friend tries to help by hiring a company that uses all the on line communications your loved one ever created to let you 'stay in touch' through messages with the departed.Rather than descending into the obvious 'internet gone mad' scarefest, this is a heartbreaking meditation on loss, holding on, letting go and the nature of love. Quite profound, and wonderfully acted."White Bear" is one of the most successful cases of capturing what it feels like to be inside a nightmare I've seen in quite a while. A young woman wakes to find herself chased by very scary violent people while other people stand around and watch or photograph it. She has no idea why she is being hunted, or how to get away. Simple, but extremely well done. The pay-off twists didn't blow me away, but everything leading up to them was first rate and truly frightening film-making."The Waldo Moment". Switching gears completely, this is a pretty sharp political satire. A cartoon bear - a popular figure with a late night talk show - regularly interviews politicians, and is loved for the way he exposes their hypocrisies. But things get ever stranger when - as a publicity stunt - the "Waldo" the bear actually runs for office. Personally I found this the weakest of the pieces. It was easier to get out in front of in terms of both plot twists and underlying ideas. But it's still well done and never less than interesting, with some important (if not surprising) comments about the toxic mix that has arisen through the mating of media, entertainment and politics.

Excellent product, accurate product description, fast service, clear and helpful communication. Great product and well cushioned
