      Charlie Brooker had several different shows, all mainly dealing with the lows of TV, politics or news. So in a way it makes sense that he would create something which matches his expertise. And which matches the level of quality he demands.
      Usually when you criticise something on IMDB, some fanboy comes along and tells you to create something better, because fanboys are generally stupid and lazy twats. Charlie Brooker seems to have done exactly that.

        I had the exact same thought. I'm in Washington, DC and only heard about this show last week when I read an article about it in the paper, announcing that it had come to Netflix. It said how phenomenal the show was, but not to binge watch it. As I type this, I'm on Season 3, episode 2. So I've watched the first 8 episodes - and I've loved every single one of them, even the somewhat criticized "The Waldo Moment." Every episode says so much about modern society and technologyI'm completely blown away. The Twilight Zone is my all-time favorite show. But could this show be even better?? There hasn't been a single bad episode - how is that possible?

          I don't think it's anywhere near Twilight Zone, but it is interesting and refreshing. I'd probably take more seasons of Fringe over this if I could sacrifice one for the other when it comes to somewhat recent sci-fi shows.
          I never saved anything for the swim back.

            It's definitely near Twilight Zone.
            And Fringe? Really? That show by the Transformers writers?

              Have you ever seen Fringe? It's not like it has anything to do with Transformers that's such a silly complaint. A showrunner of Game of Thrones also helped make Wolverine Origins, so it's not like one project always reflects someone's talent/skill.

                Yeah I've seen most of Fringe. Walter was an interesting character but everyone else were cardboard cutouts.
