love it. proper dark, twisted, awkward humour he does so well. he's quickly taking the mantel of master-satirist from chris morris, mainly because the latter doesn't produce much anymore. he's the boss. |

i loved the first one. i found the second one obvious/so what vibe, but slick enough to watch. third one was an entertaining idea but was delivered down a boring avenue. i blame konnie huq. mind you the first one was so good that was proper 2011 telly. |

This guy wrote Dead Set, eh? That's enough for me! Will be checking this 3 part series out, as well as more of his material in the coming days... (Charlie Brooker's 2011 Wipe, an hour-long review show of 2011, has been commissioned by BBC Four for broadcast in December 2011) |

never? actually im suprised anyone knows, considering how (rightly) ( like Beyonce / Jay Z ) they keep themselves to themselves yeh preferred the 1st. Brooker said he wanted the whole 'twilight zone' sorta vibe going and i think he/they did it. |

I lap up everything Brooker does like a dying dog drinking in the desert so was stoked when I first heard about this. I think they aired the episodes in order of quality though. The first one I thought was excellent - started amusingly and ended uncomfortably; the second one I thought underwritten but prophetic (amazing fortuitousness to follow the X Factor final as well) and the third one I agree with the dude above went downhill from an interesting premise. I can't fault a program that combines the Twilight Zone with commentary on our own vapid cunty culture though, and am hoping it gets renewed. Screenwipe is the tits though, can't wait for the 2011 round up. |

Have to say I found the third one to be my favorite, with the first one after. The second one was ok, but it kind of seemed like they were really trying to hammer in that these people have nothing to live for besides the shows on tv and a few other superficial things. Also couldn't empathize with the characters at all. I guess that was the point, but I didn't think it made for good tv. The third one. I really felt bad for that guy, and felt even worse for the people around him. It kind of haunted me the next day. I know what its like to go through an emotional implosion like that. Had their been something like facebook to stir things up it would have been even worse. |

It was like a modern version of a public hanging. The fact the found guilty is reset daily is the most perverse part of the process. You wake up, feeling a bit hungover. Slowly it seeps in you're not quite sure where you are, who you are and what happened. You certainly have no recollection of commiting any crime. The 3rd and final episode of this series/season is the first time i wasn't gripped, and i fell asleep. I was feeling awful which didn't help. I'll give it a go again. |
