As much as I love Black Mirror, I just want to throw it out there that it is far from the only show to do what it does. It may seem like the best because it's on TV right now, and tech is so prevalent in our lives that it's always relevant, but if you take away the modern tech, it's really just a modern Twilight Zone, which it's always been compared to. But it doesn't stop there. There's also The Outer Limits, which was seen as a generic Twilight Zone at the time, but had a revival in the 90s. Both Outer LImits series tended to focus on aliens and the supernatural. Then there was Night Gallery, which was also hosted by Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. Of course we all remember Tales From the Crypt, and at this point it's worth mentioning Red Shoe Diaries, which was basically the softcore version of Tales From the Crypt. Late night adult programming, but the formula was the same, each episode telling its own story. The best of them, in my opinion, was Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories.

Supposedly, Amazing Stories is being brought back, and last I heard, Apple is financing it (and something from Battlestar Galactica '04 and Star Trek writer Ronald D Moore), so that should be interesting, especially if it lands on a network we can all watch regardless of who makes our phone.

So if you're looking for something to tide you over until the next season of Black Mirror... you've got your work cut out for you!
