When a group of fanatic terrorists escape their planned execution in the year 2077, they vault back in time to the year 2012, sweeping dedicated CPS Protector, Keira Cameron along with them.
Black Mirror was created by Charlie Brooker, the author of E4’s BAFTA-nominated Dead Set and produced by Zeppotron Productions (an Endemol Company) for Channel 4. The stand-alone dramas are sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales with a techno paranoia bend, all audacious ‘What if’ stories: some comic, some shocking, but all entirely unlike anything else you’ve ever seen on television.
