Black Mirror

Season 1:
Episode 1: The National Anthem

Princess, peoples reaction, prime minister, pig

This episode is about a princess who is kidnapped and the only way to save her is if the prime minister has sexual intercourse with a pig.

The Media plays a big part in this episode as the video of the princess is put on youtube and then spread onto differnt social networking sites.

The prime minister then is forced to have sexual intercourse with the pig, some people are so against it and disgusted that they end up commiting suicide.

Episode 2: 15 Million Merits

People cycling in order to gain merits

The Auditions For Hot Shots

This episode is about virtual reality where people spend all day riding bikes in order to gain merits so they can spend on their virtual characters.

This episode is also very media based because it sort of reflects the worl that we live in at the moment, the fact that everyone relies on media. The only way to escape is to become famous on hot shots in prder for the, to focus on something else even thoug the media is still involved.

Episode 3: The Entire History Of You

Re-watching old memories 

Cutting out his memory chip

This episode is about a memory card which is placed in the head which allows you to replay any of your memories.

My opinion is that we all wished we could replay our memories but only the good ones and in this episode that is not the case, people become obsessed in replaying and it becomes out of hand, people also use it to prove points from the past.

Series 2:
Episode 1:  Be Right Back

Messages from her dead husband

Waiting for a text message from her dead husband

This episode is about a husband who is completley obsessed with his phone, him and his wife hire a van when he goes to return he does not comw back leaving his wife pregnant and alone.

 The wife can only communicate with her husband through texts and phone calls and at the end she even meets a robot replica of her husband.

Episode2: White Bear

The symbol that controls  all the technology

People filming 

Staff member after woman

This episode is based on a game show where a murder is the main attraction. Everyday they delete her memory and make her suffer what her and her boyfriend did to his daughter (abuse and kill her whilst filmimg it) at the end there is a huge twist because that is when the audience understands that its a resort park and she is now paying for what she did by having hundreds of people filmimg her everyday with her not having a clue of whats going on (revenge) 

Episode 3 The Waldo Moment

Waldo receiving many votes 

Waldo attending political events  

This episode is about a comedian who becomes this character called waldo and involves himself in political events.

At first people find the bear childish to be in the elections but then they take him as being funny and he gaims many votes and almost wins the elections
