A forgotten show that inspired Black Mirror is available to stream on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The sixth season of Netflix’s show was released last month, with the dystopian anthology series continuing to thrill viewers. Since the show began on Channel 4 in 2011, it has left fans terrified with its dark version of how technology could wreak havoc in the future.
However, it’s not the first time series creator Charlie Brooker has been behind a drama with similarly disturbing themes. The writer penned Dead Set, a 2008 zombie horror mini-drama which was set in a fictional series of Big Brother. The five episodes, broadcast on E4 over Halloween that year, was set during a nationwide zombie outbreak which spreads to the Big Brother House.
