Black Mirror Comparison / Contrast

Black Mirror E1 & E2

Within this report i will be talking about Black Mirror Television Show which has a genre of drama, Sci-Fi and drama, this is very popular for all types of viewers. The episodes i will be comparing and contrasting is Episode 1 - The National Anthem and Episode 2 - Fifteen Million Merits.

The first Episode is mainly aimed for an older audience as the episode is about politics (featuring David  Cameron) on the other hand, Episode 2 is about technology of the future which is mainly aimed for teenagers / a younger audience as they are the new generation on how technology should run.This is shown through Episode 2 as people are having to cycle every day to gain power for the rest of the world and are in some sort of society with digital points and find out that skipping adds effects your real life balance of luxury items.

After Episode 1, it was made clear at the beginning of Episode 2 that each episode of the series are completely irrelevant to each other. This can be shown at the end of Episode 1 where David Cameron has to have sex with a pig whereas, in Episode 2, there were no societies of different countries or presences as  they were much further in the future through new technology.

In my opinion i believe that the TV series Black Mirror is able to show an effective way of how the future could pan out throughout the series. This can be shown through the success of more seasons being made as there are 3 seasons in total. This shows that the show have responded to the audience in the need of watching another to create an even better series with more money. However, in the opinion after watching these two Episodes the series doesn't relate to me as much through technology as the Episodes are very slow passed and loses the some audiences interest to continue to watch the series.
