A political thriller and twisted parable for the Twitter age, the first episode of Black Mirror 'The National Anthem' looks at how information is disseminated so quickly now and public opinion is so loud, powerful and quick to change, that life is very much harder for the rich and supposedly powerful.
Awarded 'Best TV Mini-Series' at the 2012 International Emmy Awards, and described variously by critics as 'intelligent', 'gripping', 'thought-provoking', 'innovative' and 'shocking', Black Mirror taps into our collective unease about the modern world, with its audacious 'what-if' scenarios and blackly comic study of contemporary life.
