Black Mirror

Jason posting the trailer for “Her” (which I love and feels like my life except I’m the one in the phone?) reminded me a lot of this episode of Black Mirror titled “Be Right Back”. Black Mirror is a modern, British version of The Twilight Zone. The title refers to the dark, reflective surfaces of our smartphones and TVs and how we’re constantly staring into them. There are 6 hour-long standalone episodes of Black Mirror, many of which are available on Vimeo (for now, at least). They’re all great but “Be Right Back” is my favorite.
