If you haven't seen this yet, stop now and watch it. It's on Netflix. It's essentially a futuristic twilight zone.
For those of you who have seen it, what's your favorite episode? I love the White Christmas. Those eggs are so hauntingly plausible.

Dude, that show is seriously NOTHING like the Twilight Zone.
Maybe if the Twilight Zone was a terribly shitty show, then yes, they would be exactly the same.
On all other accounts, no, that show is a disgrace to the idea of it being even a quarter as good as the Twilight Zone.
It's pretty much the worst show ever invented, ever.
The creators of it should be formally executed for making stupid episodes with shitty plots like the president fucking a pig that are nowhere near as eerie or exciting as even the blandest of Twilight Zone episodes.
Everybody should just save themselves the trouble and watch the actual Twilight Zone

Black Mirror is fucking awesome. every episode is drastically different, and has alot of origional concepts that havnt really been in TV or movies. each episode has different characters and takes place in a different timeline
to whoever above me is saying its not like twilight zone, don't listen to them.
its far better than twilight zone, but has a similar concept.
some of the episodes are also pretty similar to the twelve monkeys trilogy by Terry Gilliam

i'm suprised, and doubtful youve even seen more than a few episodes of the twilight zone sheekle. and i have the sneaking suspicion that you barely watched black mirror as well
i guess its just cool to like the twilight zone now. i bet your favorite movie is Citizen Kane too? 
black mirror is the shit, and is basically a twilight zone that doesn't break the fourth wall
shame we only get an episode like once every six months

What a strange accusation to say that I'm only saying that because I think the Twilight Zone is hip or something.
I've seen like 30 episodes of the Twilight Zone, and one episode of shitty terrible Black Mirror and research on the general vibes/plot of the show is far more than enough to make the idea of them being comparatively good beyond laughable.
That's like saying NBOME is as good as LSD. There's nothing adventurous or mysterious about Trash Mirror, basically just a retarded-ass show from top to bottom

The Black Mirror is an interesting and engaging show in the same way that Napoleon Dynamite is a funny and meaningful movie.
