Charlie Brooker's dystopian "black mirror" revolves around the idea of ​​taking a today, technologically inspired concept, often with results that are impossible for border sides. From the moving tenderness of The best episode of "Black Mirror", "San Jununipero", to Disturbing "Bella Bear" and its connection to a tragedy in real lifeSeveral things are beyond the Netflix Anthology series. As such, waiting to see what initially influenced the play on its viewers was an understandable experience for Brooker and others behind the show.

Fortunately, the confirmation of the effectiveness of the show came early, thanks to the "national anthem" - The "Black Mirror" pilot, which was so at a point that accidentally predicted the political scandal in real life. The episode is a black satire on social media and contemporary politics, noticeable for playing with a dark determination that deliberately clashes with a funny premise of the Prime Minister of Great Britain (Rory Kinear) with pressure to have sex with a pig during live broadcast. In the book "Inside Black Mirror" by Brooke, Annabe Onesons and Jason Arnop, the former director of the two and the episode Ottto Baturst ("Picki Rollers") revealed that seeing audiences' reactions during the screening of the cockpit was the moment they knew.

Now that people are familiar with the "black mirror", even those who see the "national anthem" for the first time know how to expect terrible shenanigans. Back in front of the pilot episode was first broadcast, however, there was no way the audience to prepare for the way the episode patiently builds the road to a truly unpleasant conclusion. As Brooker said in the book, the slow realization that Prime Minister Calow is not able to avoid the nausea that is played exactly as provided in the first press screening. "When the ransom request was made, everyone was just laughing, what was the reaction we wanted," he said. "Oh, it's a black comedy!" And then they were gradually more and more worried and felt more and more painful ... "

Batursta continued to compare audiences' reactions to the pub of the episode, as they both grow to understand the dark reality of what they witnessed at the same time. "The key moment itself was with the people on the screen in the pub, looking at live broadcasting," he said. "Suddenly it becomes very clear that humanity, society and the media and we are all responsible for this. The tone of the screening room was absolutely exciting. Everyone was completely silent." Onesons agreed that the testimony of this was the exact moment when the creators of the show knew that they had achieved the exact kind of incessant atmosphere for which they were aiming for. "When journalists in the stamp room did exactly what people in the pub did on the screen, that is when we knew we would get the tone of the series," she said.
