1. Black mirror

“A perverted parable for the Twitter era”

The British series is based on the script of the cult contemporary writer Charlie Brooker in his provocative satirist style. The first episode was released six years ago, and on December 4, the series celebrated its next birthday. The series consists of unrelated series. Place, plot, actors are every time new. Only black satire on our life remains unchanged. Brooker in his usual gloomy manner shows how deeply people are stuck in gadgets and what this leads to. Frequent comment by critics is a plot that “terrifies.”

Mini spoiler. Future. People live in single cameras with a huge TV.

Most are forced to pedal every day on exercise bikes to generate as much energy as possible. This energy changes to the currency of the future – “prizes” that can be spent on fast food, TV shows and games. All that is dear to people, and today. The main character who is the heir of millions of “prizes” spends them on the participation of the girl with whom he is in love, in a talent show. But instead of a brilliant future of a star the girl is offered to work in the porn industry.

Something like this psychedelic scenes occur in each series. Episodes are like a dream, it is not clear where it began and when this is all over. Viewers watch the characters as if through a window – every time a different life.

This is just a cartoon

Do not rave, big minds, there is not any key message about the harm of the Internet, the author is not trying to motivate humanity to correct or take thought.

This is just a cartoon. Such kind of a caricature of our dreams for the near future.

There are no complaints about the works of street artists from mentally balanced people (otherwise, why settle for a picture). To think about the parody or not – it’s up to you, not the author.

But it came out very successful and even bright in places, 10 three-dimensional projections of gophers out of 10.

2. Doctor Who

We don’t sacrifice people – this is wrong, because – this is easy.

Recently, there was the birthday of another TV series that pleases the audience for 54 years already. On November 23, 1963, the first episode of the legendary “Doctor Who” was shown on British television. We cannot call the series geeky or take it purely to digital, but the genre of science fiction and the love of technology allow it to be rightfully on our list.

The series was broadcast twice. The first time is since 1963 till 1989, the second time is since 2005 till the present. And in 2005, the seasons began to shoot from the very beginning. Each season includes 12-13 episodes and traditionally takes off the Christmas edition.

Sometimes you only have bad options. But you still have to choose.

– And that means we can be friends again.

– Do you really think so?

– I do not know. But the hope is such a dangerous thing. And so tempting.

12 Doctor and Missy

– We don’t donate by the people – this is wrong, because – this is easy.

Many years ago, sitting in front of a huge tube TV, I was aimlessly flipping through the channels, hoping to find a reason not to do homework.

And I switched to a funny lop-ear guy who, smiling radiantly, shouted to the fair-haired girl, “Run!”

So I met the Doctor.

Verdict

The doctor handles most problems with the word. Few of today’s popular heroes can solve a problem without mess up someone’s face, isn’t it?

In the beginning was the word. And the word is: “Run!”.

No TV series is so well-fixed on nostalgia as “Doctor Who”. No TV series is as inspiring for nostalgia as Doctor Who. Not one episode lasted as long as Doctor Who lasted.

Want to plunge into a fairy tale with an eccentric time traveler who will pick you up in his blue box on the edge of the universe?

Rather, run to watch the 2005 season with 9 Doctor. And in any case, do not miss the seasons. Yes, these are different stories and different faces.

But the Doctor is only one.

And always remember: The Doctor is lying.

Guys, whether I am some kind of retarded, or really a bit incomprehensible. The more I looked, the more questions appeared. I thought I would watch the last series and it will be clear, but fucking even more questions. I did not understand fucking. A lot of characters, though not disclosed. I do not even know whether to wait for the second season. But I will say one thing – the series is very depressing.

BadgerOo

Mr. Robot is a kind of cross between Fight Club and Card House and at the same time a rather average series for an amateur with a good soundtrack, camera work, good actors and a tattered script.

The main mistake of the series is in the unsuccessful attempt of the screenwriters to make a candy from the holed motive of a lonely person’s struggle against an evil capitalist society in the face of a mega-uber corporation of evil. Also in the series there are at least two completely illogical moments that do not fit into the structure of the plot (guess which ones). The rest of the series is very good and interesting. More so if the creators simply would have done a series about a crazy social-phobic hacker and would have stopped exclusively at his life and sores, the series would have been much better.

Just Mr. Robot pleases innovative submission of the picture somewhere, even in this regard, similar to Breaking Bad.

The first season is enough good. Now I watch the second season. He is worse and more boring. There is a possibility that the series will rush down.

The Tale of Startuppers’ Life

After the Big Bang Theory began to rush down into the abyss of self-repetition and “soap opera”, I decided to look for something similar, and came across Silicon Valley, which definitely deserves a viewing.

The series tells about life in Silicon Valley, the place where the most high-tech companies in the world are concentrated. The central characters are the four startuppers and the owner of a business incubator, in which they try to give birth to their brilliant ideas. Basically, the series makes fun of startuppers and corporate culture in the IT field, but you shouldn’t worry if you are unfamiliar with all this “IT kitchen”, humor is mostly common for funny situations that are shared by heroes. Unlike many other comedy series, where each series is a separate story, Silicon Valley has a single story, which is a definite plus. Another advantage is that the creators manage to make the viewer worry about the characters in almost every series, putting them in situations that do not always end with a happy ending.

At the moment, there are 3 seasons. All of them were about the same level, which cannot but rejoice. HBO (the channel that produces Silicon Valley) continues to hold the title of “Best Channel” releasing, so the year, such high-quality products.

We look forward to continue!

5. The IT Crowd

“Listen, I know that this place looks like a dump, but in fact it is a sensitive ecosystem.”

One of the most successful TV series about geeks was published back in 2006 in the UK. The series uses the sitcom format. Episodes in the best traditions of the industry were filmed in front of the audience, so in the first two seasons there was offscreen laughter. The name of the series comes from the name of the song The-In-Crowd, the hit of Duobi Gray in 1965, which sang about the difference between the lives of the main characters and other people.

The script was written and directed by the famous comedy writer Graham Lineham, who repeatedly received awards for the best television comedies: Father Ted (IMDb rating 8.6) and Black Books (rating 8.5). “The IT Crowd” are simply crammed with subtle geek humor, for which they have been loved since the first series. New episodes of the series were distributed through torrent’s channels a couple of hours after the official broadcast. Unfortunately, the release of the series was completed in 2010, but now you can enjoy a full set of episodes, without waiting for the release of new ones.

Stupid but funny.

It is a silly, but funny series. This is ideal for an evening with a beer or for boring work, so that there is something for the background. Often, I just laughed at the whole house, although this is a flat and stupid humor, but nevertheless, when you are tired of the work day, this is the best option, it is very relaxing. The only thing that seems to me is that this series was shot too old, as for 2006-2013, especially for 2013. It seems that you are like in 2000 year. Although there feels purely English in spirit.

The creators managed to convey the exact atmosphere of that time, not only the correct subject entourage, but also the corresponding mood of the characters. They perfectly conveyed that tension, when a premonition of future revolutionary changes in technology hung in the air, and everyone believed that they were creating the future. It is based on existing historical figures and situations, which additionally brought realism to the plot.

Few people think about people who have once worked the technologies that we now have in an improved form. Few TV shows cover the activities of innovators and supporters of the Great Idea, which can shake the world.

Humorous series in slightly vulgar style

It is a quite good seven-hour film, in which they mostly parody the original dilogy about the terminator James Cameron. All the classic scenes, characters and fantastic moments available:

·        time travel

·        meeting with bikers like “I need your clothes, your boots and a motorcycle”

·        the main character strongly resembles the symbiosis of Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor

·        partner of the mentioned traveler reminds the Terminator in almost all

·        the protagonist – of course, “licked” with John Connor.

Along the way, a whole separate series is devoted to James Cameron, where, with humor and sarcasm, the authors of the series acquaint the viewer with numerous references to the director’s works of the cinema master.

Personally, I liked the plot of the tape in the style of “Back to the Future”, a pleasant soundtrack and nostalgic notes that refer to old films. This is already noticeable from the posters for the series which, by and large, is somewhat similar to the successful project of Netflix “Strange things.”

Only in this film, not horror films parody, but fantastic action films, and sometimes psychedelic scenes unfamiliar to me.

Channel management had hope and strived with the help of “StartUp” to compete with other similar channels Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, in order to win the “battle for content”.
