[ENG]Simplifying to the extreme, there are at least two major types of Science Fiction. There is the one where the great space epics fall (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Asimov's cycles...), and the 'European' one, more philosophical than adventurous, dear to Bradbury, Ballard, Orwell. First aired in December 2011 in Great Britain, Black Mirror represents an example of the best TV science fiction belonging to the second type, the one more concerned with human problems than space travel. The series maintains a clearly identifiable common theme: the negative implications of technology, the addiction caused by it and its effects on individuals and society.
