Anyone watch this?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/
A television anthology series that shows the dark side of life and technology.

I'm 3 episodes in... it's very intriguing.

It's an awesome show. I'm glad Netflix picket it up for new episodes.

Look out for a pre-Marvelisation version of the delicious Hayley Atwell in one of the episodes!

I watched the first two episodes.
Episode two is what put me off.
It is a show with the MESSAGE dialed up to 12 out of ten that it killed it for me.

See, I get the sense that the show is much more ambivilant than a lot of stuff. Keep in mind the people making this show are also people who are using the technology that makes the show. A DP for a modern show is probably a lot more tech savvy than I am. At least it is asking questions (yeah questions we should be asking anyway). And perhaps getting us to think. Something the best of the Twilight Zone did regularly.

See, here is the thing, it kinda to me just over-the-top with its message, like the second episode was IMO.

Cracking series.

.... Got even odder when the accusations about Cameron and the pigs head were thrown around... about a year or so back.

There's a very good short series about zombies/reality TV called "dead set"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Set --- spoilers ahoy duh !

which is also well worth watching if you get the chance.

It's by Charlie Brooker, so yes it is good!
