Most of these aspects remain the same throughout the seasons that the show runs. Things like cast, setting, and plot-line rarely ever change between episodes. However, after gaining publicity in October 2016 due to Netflix releasing a third season of the first British run television series, the show <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Mirror <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proved to be an exception to the same bland plot-lines of many ever basic Netflix shows, sending viewers questioning their own day to day lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the show <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Mirror, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">each individual episode is different from the rest. With a select non-recurring cast, each episode also has a new set of characters evolving in different settings and time periods. The only recurring theme in all episodes is humanity&#8217;s reliance on technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an interview in 2011 with the Guardian, the creator of the show, Charlie Brooker, explained the concept behind the show.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;If technology is a drug \u2013 and it does feel like a drug \u2013 then what, precisely, are the side effects?

This relevance to the millennial generation is what has made it so popular for many DHS students.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11754 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BLACKMIRROR-169x300.png\" alt=\"BLACKMIRROR\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BLACKMIRROR-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BLACKMIRROR-56x100.png 56w, https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BLACKMIRROR-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BLACKMIRROR.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt really scares me [that some of these things could happen today] because of how much control people can have over you from everything you put about yourself on the internet,\u201d sophomore Reece Leydorf said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viewers can relate to the dependence on technology in the show because of how much the internet is used in their periodical lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Entire History of you [is my favorite episode] because I really like the concepts behind it because it seems like something that could happen,\u201d King said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This episode takes place in the near future, where everyone has an implant placed in their brain that allows them to re-watch every memory that they have had and to display these memories on any screen. This technology ends up torturing the main character who believes and eventually finds out that his wife has cheated on him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11755 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/blackmirror2-169x300.png\" alt=\"blackmirror2\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/>Another very popular episode that also takes place in the future is \u201cHated by the Nation\u201d. This episode revolves around what seems to be an innovative invention after the extinction of bees to pollinate the world. Small drones are created which have the new ability to take up the bee\u2019s place; they even look like real bees. In the end, however, the drones are able to be hacked, which leads to a worldwide crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI thought that I could only see technology as getting better for society but after watching Black Mirror I have realized that it is not always good and could be very harmful to us,\u201d junior Michael McNamara said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over three seasons of mind boggling episodes, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Mirror<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> could very well be one of the best shows on Netflix that television viewers should think about binging but also learning a little about how shocking the technology world around them is becoming. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think it is a show that everyone needs to think about watching to decide if we are actually almost about to be living in an episode of it,\u201d junior Emi Hunt said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By: Helena Nitschky<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Television shows on Netflix gain publicity based on the aspects that they have.
