Did anyone else catch this on TV last night? (UK only, sorry fellas)

Beautifully made piece of darkest satire from the god that is Charlie Brooker. Just found it engaging and brilliant from start to finsih (well not finish...i was watching on my computer at uni, decided the end to be a little too risque to continue at work :P)

Is it good? His non commentary stuff is mixed.I liked Nathan Barley but it was ok at best. His zombie big brother thing was a bit rubbish.

I really enjoyed it. It was pretty dark stuff, but thats the point. Its not funny satire, its a clever look at the world we're in.

Brooker describes it as being a look at how technology and the modern society work. This furst one is about how the internet and the media cover disturbing events, then next one is about a bland soceity ruled by a TV talent show and the final one isn't actually even by him, and is about a world where we never forget anything and everything is recorded.

It was very good. Never saw Nathan Barley, and agree the Zombie BB thing was a bit of a mix

Finally managed to watch this weeks episode

Very different and quite hard to follow to start. But again top quality black satire

A look at how the world around us is obsessed with cheap get rich reality TV and creating idols to throw them down just as quickly. And in the end that the system just corrupts anyone with any will against it.

Also....a subtle dig at the porn industry in how it stamps any life or individuality out of anyone sucked into that world
