Wow, this show is pretty awesome and i recommend it if you are into weird, dark, and uncomfortable. It just got put on Netflix, but was originally a British show that received accolades back in like 2011. Think Twilight Zone'esque episodes, but even better.

I only watched the first 2 so far (there are 6 stand alone episodes), but already cant stop thinking about them.

Ep 1 is a weird introduction to the series, i could see it turning some people off, but then again, it just goes to show you (the viewer) that the show isnt afraid to do anything.

They're mostly all worth watching and they're all one-offs so it doesn't matter if you skip something. Some of them stay with you forever namely the second episode of each season.

S01E01 is pretty silly, though. Not a waste of time to watch, but any of the other episodes would have been a better introduction.

They came out with a "Christmas special" a week or so ago. A very good episode with one of the leads played by Jon Hamm.

1st episode was interesting to me, glorious Internet master race controlling things.

2nd episode is where me and my girl were like "What?" "Wait what?" "Wtf is going on?" "Wat?" "Just...what" "Really?"

We haven't found the time to watch the 3rd episode yet because of how weird the 2nd was heh.

Every episode, with perhaps the first being the exception, is varying degrees of science fiction. I'd recommend plodding on. The rest of them aren't quite so out there. But the general premise is a trend in popular culture/technology continuing and taken to a crazy yet plausible extreme.

I've not seen it, but I had it recommended to me at lunch yesterday.
