A great TV series companion for fans of the show. It gives a peek behind the curtains, showing a piece of the creative process behind each episode. Maybe it's the nature of the interviews with creators, maybe the episodes themselves... but the book is very uneven. Some episodes provide a variety of trivia, unexpected depth of commentary, or intriguing inspirations; while others just go through the synopsis and present people being grateful to join the Black Mirror team.

The most interesting for me was to see how the stories evolved and how the initial script was shaped by every new person working on it (directors, designers, actors) or by the constraints (time, budget, available technology, weather...). Sometimes the concept did almost 180 turn, other times it just got bigger and bolder as each creator pushed the limits a little bit further.

It was a fun read and an opportunity to revisit each Black Mirror episode from seasons 1-4. Fans will enjoy it, haters gonna hate ;) ( )
