Netflix is the land of exciting movies, spine-chilling series, documentaries, crappy yet annoyingly addictive reality TV shows, and a huge spectrum to choose from when selecting entertainment. However, one of the newest additions to the Netflix library is causing a stir.

Black Mirror, a suspense-filled, British sci-fi series focused on what seem to be crazy, dystopian versions of society as it is known today. It zones in on human’s growing obsession with technology and how constant exposure to media manipulation affects human’s behavior.

The series features well-known artists such as Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World, The Help), Daniel Kaluuya (Skins, Sicario), Jon Hamm (Keeping up with the Joneses, Mad Men), and Toby Kebbell (Ben-Hur, Warcraft).

The show, which released its first episode “The National Anthem” on December 4, 2011, quickly gained a platform on Netflix and continuously came out with new seasons in 2013, 2014, and recently released its third season in October 2016.

The show presents these themes in a different way each episode, with none of the episodes being related whatsoever. The creepy, strange mood found in each episode snaps viewers into a harsh and intriguing futuristic fantasy that could easily become a reality.

Many have also interpreted the theme of the show as one that subtly criticizes things like modern society’s obsessions with social status, corrupt government, malicious use of advanced technology, and ridiculous social ideals through a series of clever metaphors and surreal scenarios.

In the third season’s first episode, “Nosedive”, the plot follows Lacie, a young woman living in a futuristic America in which daily life activity and social status is based off of every person’s “rankings”. Every person has installed eye implants which upon making eye contact with someone allow them to see their ranking. A mood of uncomfortable utopia and happiness results from residents trying to get approval from their fellow citizens.

Creator and Director Charlie Brooker, the man behind these seemingly crazy plot lines, reveals the meaning behind the ominous name Black Mirror. In an interview with The Guardian he shared that “The “black mirror” of the title is the one you’ll find on every wall, on every desk, in the palm of every hand: the cold, shiny screen of a TV, a monitor, a smartphone.”
