There is no denying that excellence often graces our screen in short satirical tid-bits called Black Mirror. The television series, written by the comical genius Charlie Brooker, first came to television in 2011; poking fun at political and social elements that have become to crux of our lives. Its highlights including the provoking The National Anthem, which saw Rory Kinear fuck a pig live on air, White Bear, a disturbing and terrifying look at social media and The Entire History of You, written by Jesse Armstrong but with no less thrills within it. Black Mirror is the crème de la crème of black comedy and when it was announced that it was doing a Christmas special, fans wrung their palms with delight to watch it. But did it live up to the hype?
