The TVI Take

The first series of Charlie Brooker's anthology — 'The National Anthem,' 'Fifteen Million Merits,' and 'The Entire History of You.' Educational about social media, surveillance, and the ethics of technology. The first series is the most formally coherent and the most formally disturbing.

The National Anthem remains one of television's most uncomfortable hours.
