while(self++) { #30 } // Television as Conjurer of Emotion

Black Mirror. From what I’ve been told, each episode has its own story, independent of the others. You can watch any one of them. It’s like The Twilight Zone in that regard — it’s a short story with some surprising twist. I love that sort of stuff. This show is futuristic and emotionally involved.

I watched an episode of Black Mirror. And wow. It’s everything I enjoy about suspense and thriller in an unbelievably short amount of time. Only 45 minutes. And yet, it left me with a fear and dread that few movies or shows have ever left in me. This isn’t meant to be a review so much as a reflection about how art can make us feel. And this tv show is definitely art. And it certainly made me feel.
