Great piece in today’s Guardian G2 from Charlie Brooker on his drama series, Dark Mirror. Here’s a sample:
Just yesterday I read a news story about a new video game installed above urinals to stop patrons getting bored: you control it by sloshing your urine stream left and right. Read that back to yourself and ask if you live in a sane society.
Couldn’t agree more.Though the rest of G2 seems to have lost its way – 4 pages on Amazon’s warehouse! How many times have I seen that piece before? PR, pure and simple.
Someone even tweeeted: ‘Charlie Brooker’s Dark Mirror has a twist that made them physically sick’.
Dark Mirror, Channel 4, Sunday 9pm.
