- Black Mirror: We discuss the episodes in Season 1
- “National Anthem” underrated episode. It’s easy to discredit this episode because it was shocking, but we think it is important to appreciate it despite the discomfort. We found lots to love in this episode.
- “15 Million Merits” another amazing episode. An incredibly in-depth dystopia with broad implications and many layers of meaning. There is social, relational, moral, and political meanings and each is a penetrating discourse.
- “The Entire History of You” A fantastic ending to season 1. More of a character drama exploring obsession, narrative bias, and depression.
