Secretly force socialism, communism and imperialism types of government onto the people of the United States of America.

My shot at a synopsis for White Bear: Tyres from Spaced is in it and you'll hate it for the first 45 minutes or so. But watch it. Watch it now.

How are we feeling about spoilers tags in discussing this show since the newest episode aired almost 2 years ago? I don't want to ruin anything for anyone new, but I also want to have a laugh at the quasi-in-joke about the kidnapper in the National Anthem, Carlton Bloom, underappreciated genius, misanthrope, in a show by Charlie Brooker, moderately well known satirist, misanthrope. And also, to discuss whether or not Bing is looking at a screen or out a window at the end of 15 Million Merits, and if all of humanity lives indoors because anthropogenic climate change has rendered the planet uninhabitable.

I was frustrated and disappointed with Playtest the first time around, because I was still expecting something with a larger social message, since almost all previous episodes did (maybe with the exceptions of Be Right Back in the second series, and Entire History of You in the first). But Playtest was really just Brooker and company having fun making an episode that was simultaneously scary and making fun of tropes in horror films, with some interesting, albeit previously tread, explorations into how consciousness works and processes concepts, thoughts, memories and emotions. It was a lot more fun the next around because there are a lot of little things that influence Cooper's mindblowing experience.
