The future is bright.
Synopsis
Black Mirror Season 1 (2011) — watch online on iFILM: three self-contained stories, no shared cast, no comfortable endings. Charlie Brooker launched the Channel 4 anthology here, and the template hasn't changed since.
Three different near-futures, three different ways things go wrong. The first episode puts a sitting prime minister in a crisis so precisely humiliating it became notorious before most viewers had seen it. The second imagines a society where people pedal stationary bikes to earn credits and bet their futures on a talent-show stage. The third gives a man full recall of every memory and watches what jealousy does with that kind of power.
Three episodes, maybe four hours total — Black Mirror Season 1 earns a disproportionate amount of thought for its running time. Stream all episodes online on iFILM.
