Holy Damn this show is dark. I like it, just found it on Netflix tonight. Between this and Sherlock maybe I can start liking british TV again.

Mighty fuck, each of these is darker than the last.

Isn't that a mini series?
I'll check it out.

Dark?
Like sinister ...
... or, like, depraved?

Sinister. Like I said, twist endings like Twilight Zone but it's about humanity's use of tech instead of paranormal stuff. Like, no spoilers, but one of the most popular ones, the one that Robert Downey Jr optioned for a movie, centers around the premise that almost everyone in the world has an implant that lets them review and bookmark memories in their brain like a DVR, and rewatch them projected inside their eyes or send them wirelessly to a TV screeen for other people to watch. And the main character gets obsessed with certain recent memories that make him suspect that his wife cheated on him.
The first one is great. It's a little depraved, come to think of it. A Hacker kidnaps a royal princess and uploads an untraceable youtube video threatening to kill her unless the Prime Minister fucks a pig live on air later that afternoon.

Oh, shit ...
Yeah, I'd LOVE this shit ....
I may not cancel my NetFlix after all ...

The last one, and in my opinion maybe the best and darkest one, is the "Christmas Special" starring Jon Hamm, but it's not on netflix, I had to download it from my friendly neighborhood bittorrent tracker. But it is well worth it if for nothing more than the ending scene.
"White Bear" looks stupid at first, but if you wait through, it has a really good payoff I think.

Ok, now I have something to add to my "it's slow in January; I'll just watch something" list ...
