Black Mirror : The National Anthem is not as much of a cultural event as the fictional situation it depicts but it's certainly provoked lively debate here in the Chateau.

Great first episode. Didn't know much going in. Watched then read reviews and the comparison to the Twilight Zone is appropriate.

Really liked the scene before the act where the Prime Minister is getting advice from his staff as they walk down a hallway, the lady (can't remember her title) seems to know too much (as she's throwing out advice, dominering the conversation) and the action seemed to slow down and the pollster guy (played by the cop from Ideal) gives a glance as if he sees something bigger, right before the cut. Nothing came from the moment but it seemed like the place where future material could have derived from.
