Creator: Charlie Brooker

Running Time: 135 minutes
Certificate: 15
Charlie Brooker is a genius when it comes to astute social commentary. His Wipe series demonstrate his biting wit and scathing satire, as well as highlighting his powers of observation. In 2011, Brooker’s dark anthology series Black Mirror arrived with a bang – the banging of a pig that is, in the unforgettable and shocking first episode ‘The National Anthem’. Although this second series never quite reaches the heights of series one, it is still some of the most impressive storytelling on television.
Black Mirror is a painfully short series (always leave them wanting more), but in just three stand alone episodes it does more than other shows can produce with longer runs. The main theme behind the show is to take a close look at society and its vices, »

In childhood the monster that lived under my bed was a shadowy, shape-shifting fear of the unknown. By adulthood that monster had morphed into a more specific beast: insecurity. Will my relationship survive? Is my life, my job, my future, a joke? Who am I, how did I get here? Does anybody care??
Charlie Brooker’s Emmy winning Black Mirror returns for a second series with three more self contained stories. The broadcaster and columnist this time serves as writer for all three and his pithy insight packs a punch that lands well across each drama in the anthology.
The DVD opens with Be Right Back. Ash and Martha are looking forward to starting a new life in the country together. As the young couple unpacks, Ash cannot resist uploading a photo of his younger self for his friends to mock online. Martha gestures to the phone and jokes that »

Da Vinci's Demons spreads its wings tonight.

Patrick Duffy says he'd like to participate in a Step by Step reunion movie and that it would be interesting to see how the Lambert family grew up. I just hope such a series spawns a serious topical drama that desperately adds a laugh track when ratings tank, giving the Tgif generation a The Bradys of their own.
You've seen me complain that the dark side of a golden age of television is a too-full DVR that make it challenging to keep up with all the good shows (as well as the guilty pleasures and hate watching) available. It also means that shows like Southland and Switched at Birth don't quite get the attention they deserve. I'm still looking for time to get caught up on Game of Thrones, much less time to get to that third episode of Top of the Lake. »

The supernatural flatshare drama comes to an end on Sunday. But the cast was excellent, the storylines strong and the ratings respectable. So why is BBC3 dropping it?
On Sunday, the final episode of Being Human will air on BBC3 – bringing to a close five series of supernatural flatsharing between a vampire, werewolf and ghost. Not unreasonably, many fans are asking: why? The horror comedy does not bow out having outlived its usefulness or popularity. And, while the recently concluded Merlin was always conceived as a five-year project, it feels as though Being Human only recently took the necessary steps to ensure its continued life on-screen.
At the end of series four, with original cast members Aidan Turner, Russell Tovey and Lenora Crichlow all gone, it did look as if it might be the right time for the stake: cast overhauls rarely work completely. But Being Human has not only survived with a new cast, »

Episode Two: White Bear
This week on Black Mirror, there's been a heavy shift in storytelling. While the last episode, 'Be Right Back', was effectively emotional; I found that, for Speculative Fiction, it didn't really explore its own ideas very well.
White Bear says “Screw that!” and focuses on giving an intense, crazy story that only has the light trappings of technology, and a heavy dollop of commentary about the evil that men do.
And it works all the better for it, honestly.
Victoria (Lenora Crichlow, Being Human) wakes up to find she's lost her memory. There's the remains of an implied suicide attempt, a photograph of an implied daughter, and a very much actual harsh electronic buzz in the air. Outside, the streets seem empty, until she sees the people standing silently, watching through their smartphones. Voyeurs. Once she's been spotted, it's not long until a man in a balaclava pulls up, »

Luke Owen reviews the second episode of Black Mirror...
Last week’s episode was an incredibly sombre and slow paced show that was centred around one performance. This week’s episode, White Bear, however was a completely different kettle of fish – which is what makes Black Mirror such an interesting show.
White Bear was a visceral, violent, frightening and all together terrifying affair with some incredible visuals, an intriguing build and a payoff that seems to have split its audience. A brief look at Twitter has seen many people claim that the reveal in the third part was a letdown while others thought it was very clever. I'm personally in the latter camp as I think it asks more philosophical questions than a conventional twist ending would have, but I can understand the frustrations.
For me however the episode fell down on its lead performance from Lenora Crichlow. This was »

"White Bear" is the single darkest episode of Black Mirror so far. That's definitely saying something for a show that is far from cheerful at the best of times. However, if you found last week's "Be Right Back" just a little more sentimental than expected, the more surreal edge that Charlie Brooker is known for is back on display here.Lenora Crichlow plays a young woman who wakes up in unfamiliar house with no memory, she tries to piece things together but finds herself lost and alone in a world where bystanders appear to be more interested in filming her on their phones than helping her. When she encounters Jen (Tuppence Middleton), it is revealed to her that much of the population have effectively been turned...
