Black Mirror

We all know that technology is a big part of our present, and it's only gonna be an even bigger part in the future, for better or worse. Black Mirror tries to depict the dystopian view of it and yeah, it's kind of scary. I'll try not to spoil it but each episode touches a different topic, ranging from the future of VR(Virtual Reality), the future of blackmailing using your own computer(yeah, I'm sorry, don't know how to put it without spoiling the plot), AR(Augmented Reality) embedded into your freakin eyes and connected to your brain which allows you to browse through and watch your old memories, how you can stay in touch with dead person (this one was probably the creepiest) and my personal favourite that shows how much 'online' social media can influence our 'offline' lives where how many upvotes you have or your 'total score' decides whether you'll get to rent that house or not or if you can even board that flight. Oh and none of the episodes are connected so you can watch it from in between without worrying about missing out on anything.

The IT Crowd

Image
The IT Crowd The IT Crowd is a simple, yet hilarious British Comedy show based around the semi-disastrous lives of two antisocial IT professionals, Maurice Moss (played by Richard Ayoade) and Roy Trenneman (played by Chris O’Dowd). Throughout each series the pair provide IT support for their company, Reynhold Industries under the watchful eye of their new department supervisor Jen Barber (played by Katherine Parkinson), who does not understand technology in the slightest. Together the trio end up getting themselves into ridiculous situations that defy even the most basic form of common sense. Many such situations getting them into trouble with their somewhat unusual boss Denholm Reynholm (played by Christopher Morris) and later their even stranger boss Douglas Reyholm (played by Matt Berry) the son of Denholm.

The Office (US)

Hey guys! It's Sushmi here again, with yet another sitcom, The Office (US version). This show is one that I've recently started watching and it's a really good show to pass time and procrastinate, with short 20-25 minute episodes that are extremely funny. As the title suggests the show revolves around an office, a branch of a paper company in Scranton, America called 'Dunder Mifflin'. It shows the everyday lives of the staff of this company under the management of their eccentric manager, Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, a very talented actor who has starred in many successful movies, eg. Despicable Me Series, Get Smart. Even though the staff are working a boring everyday sales role, the interactions within each character is what makes the show so good. The main recurring roles include a love interest between receptionist, Pam, and sales, Jim Chapman. Along side with Jim works, Dwight Shrute, a hilarious character  with a lack of good social skills and co...
