Black Mirror is just so unrelentingly cynical about human nature. I watched the one with the lady whose memory is removed and "normal" people delight in following her and recording her, and it's all a big production to punish this women for doing a pretty fucked up thing.
Every episode seems to just say "aren't human beings the worst?" The sci fi is interesting sometimes, but I can't really go through life believing that humans would behave like they do in that show.
Just read the episode plot summaries on Wikipedia. That way you get the ideas, and save yourself the time and trauma.
