Thought-provoking dark dramas from Charlie Brooker. The first series was excellent, if not a little disturbing at times. I'm sure the second series will be just as good. Series 2 Episode 1 is on next Monday at 10pm, C
4.
If you haven't seen the first series, you can get them on 4od:

Three completely stand-alone stories, that aren't connected at all (so you can watch any of them in any order).
The first story was about the PM of the UK and the Princess (a Diana/Kate princess) who is kidnapped and the demands of the kidnapper are a little....different.
Second one is a satirical look at talent shows, set in a strange version of society in the future.
Third one is also set in the future, where people have a memory implant that enables them to remember everything they see.
Can't really describe them, as they aren't your normal dramas. But they're well done, and definitely thought-provoking.

How do you know they're not my normal dramas?

So you don't have to watch any of the first series to watch the second. They're all stand-alone stories.

Loved series one, they are very topical as well, a little black humour thrown in like only brooker can, but with an underlying political or at least 'topical' point, that I won't reveal as it'll be a total spoiler.
Can't wait for series two either. Loving ch 4 ATM, utopia is quality, the undatables, the ecstasy trial

Third one from the first series was written by the chaps who write Peep Show (Jesse Armstrong and [insert name of writing partner I've shamefully forgotten]). Not sure whether Charlie Brooker has written all three of the episodes in this series.

Yeah, it was good. I thought the first one of the first series was the most thought-provoking.

Yes, it would be the other way round if you were talking maths.
Id have gone for:
1 >>>>>>>>>> 3 > 2 myself, but all three were very good.
