I need help finding this unsettling comerical, little help from you Brits?

[DudeistBelieve]

I think it's for a British television show. There was 3 episodes done, and this was advertising it's return.

It's set up like a technology commercial, like for apple, and it's just the narrator saying over and over "Imagine... More" and so on, and everytime he says "More" his voice gets more distorted.

I know I saw it on YouTube, I can't find it now. Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

Well the whole 3 episodes thing sounds like Black Mirror.

The show is generally centered around technology and how it may affect us, for the worse, in the future. Can't remember the advert though and the narrator doesn't sound like it...

...but hey! That's my contribution.

I believe this is what you're looking for. Check it out if you can, it may be available on 4ODdrama's youtube channel, not sure whether it's available in every country.

Wow, that was a really, really good commercial. There's not enough media that puts the spotlight on how the technological revolution is distancing us from eachother under the fake shroud of actually connecting us. We "need" the latest gadgets so we can consume more media, share every second of our lives, capture the moments, etc. Basically focusing on having fun, because that's a good thing, right?

Well, if you liked that trailer, you'd almost certainly like the series.

I always wanted to watch Black Mirror because Charlie Brooker is fantastic. My friends sat with me and watched the first season of it last week and...my god. It is brilliant and chilling.

 

[Frezzato]

Wow, series 1, episode 1 and it's insane. Amazing and insane.

I stopped watching TV in 2006. I don't even own a functional TV.

And here I was feeling out of touch by simply not being aware of American TV. Now you're emphasizing how out of touch with the WORLD I am.

If aliens attacked I would be up a creek without a paddle if it weren't for my internet connection.

My God, Black Mirror is an excellent show. To paraphrase George Lucas when he was talking about THX-1138, Black Mirror isn't so much a show about the future. To me, it's a show from the future.

YES! This is it!

I so deeply love how powerful that last shot is with the dust plume. Reminds me of 9/11.

And that last line is killer. "The Future Is Broken."

I always had a concept in my mind about digital devices controlling everyone's lives; all of humanity slaves to the digital screen. Apparently I'm not the only one who thought of that.

whoa, i hadnt heard of that but i loved the trailer, ill have to track it down.

i have a desktop pc with wired internet and a 30 year old non cordless phone on the wall in the hallway. people give you the strangest look when they ask for your mobile number, etc and you say you dont own one

The worst is when I went to pick up books from college, and the school store demanded I present the order I.D. number.

"It's no big deal." Says the unhelpful ****. "Just look it up on your phone."

I pull out my 14 dollar tracfone "You think I can fucking get internet on this piece of shit?"

I think Captcha has informed me of this show quite a lot. For a long time I just thought of it as another TV drama, then I heard it was made by Charlie Brooker and now I want to go see it. Anyone know if there's been any more seasons of it? Or can I just start off with the one they're advertising.

There's a first season of it too, but you could easily start with this one because the episodes don't link, they're just similar in theme!

I'm going to watch it anyway. I love Brooker's work, so I'm sure I'll love both seasons.
