Black Mirror

Satirical themes, high technology, the uncertainty of modern life and humanity -- yes, that is the British series hit Black Mirror. The speculative fiction enjoys increasing popularity in China season after season since its first release in 2011.

The TV series earned a super big wow among Chinese audiences for its film-like editing and production quality, its creative and unexpected plots, delicate and stylish narrative approach, and satirical yet thought-provoking themes. It discusses and explores the relationship between new technology and human life, media and society, morality and ethics. Each episode is an individual story, with different settings and casts.

The Black Mirror was created by English satirist Charlie Brooker and was first aired on British Channel 4 in 2011. Charlie Brooker once explained the series' title to The Guardian :"If technology is a drug -- and it does feel like a drug -- then what, precisely, are the side-effects? This area -- between delight and discomfort -- is where Black Mirror, my new drama series, is set."
