According to Brooker (speaking to SFX), the production squad considered giving the series some kind of linking theme or presenter, but ultimately it was decided non to exercise then: "There were discussions. Do we fix them all in the same street? Practice nosotros have some characters who appear in each episode, a bit Three Colours: Blue/White/Red style? We did think about having a character who introduces them, Tales from the Crypt fashion, or like Rod Serling or Alfred Hitchcock or Roald Dahl, because almost anthology shows did have that... but the more than we thought about it, we thought information technology was a bit weird."[8]

Championship [ ]

Charlie Brooker explained the series' championship to The Guardian, noting: "If applied science is a drug – and it does feel like a drug – then what, precisely, are the side effects? This area – betwixt delight and discomfort – is where Black Mirror, my new drama serial, is prepare. The 'black mirror' of the championship is the one you'll find on every wall, on every desk, in the palm of every hand: the common cold, shiny screen of a Boob tube, a monitor, a smartphone."[ii]

Reception [ ]

Critical response [ ]

The start serial has been acclaimed as being innovative and shocking with twists-in-the-tale reminiscent of The Twilight Zone.[21] [22] Michael Hogan of The Daily Telegraph described the starting time episode, "The National Anthem," as "a shocking but ballsy, blackly comic study of the modern media".[22] He went on to say that "This was a dementedly brilliant idea.

In his review of the episode "Be Right Back", Sameer Rahim of The Telegraph wrote, "The show touched on important ideas – the false way we sometimes present ourselves online, and our growing addiction to virtual lives – but it was also a touching exploration of grief. To my listen it'southward the best thing Brooker has done". Jane Simon of The Daily Mirror newspaper website, said that the 2nd episode of the 2nd serial, "White Deport", lacked the "instant emotional tug" of the serial opener, "Be Right Back".[xxx] She went on to say that, a third of the way through the second episode, she had lost hope of it concluding well, "[...] the acting was unbelievable, the script was riddled with horror-movie cliches, the violence was a bit over the top [...]", but that by the end, "I turned out to exist absolutely dead wrong on every single count."

Monahan equated the episode with the stronger of the previous Black Mirror episodes, stating that "it exaggerated present-day engineering and obsessions to subtle only infernal effect, a nightmare-before-Christmas reminder that to revere our digital gizmos is to become their pathetic slave."[37]
