Has anyone watched any of this series?

It's a series of dystopian "Twilight Zone" episodes that deal with our current and future media-ted lives.

The first episode of the first season is soooo disturbing in all sorts of ways.

2. It's from Channel 4, Britain

But was made available for Direct TV subscribers last year. I would imagine it's also available online in other ways. ahem. I think the first season is available on DVD, and probably Amazon.

The series won an International Emmy for Best TV Movie/Miniseries in 2012, for the first season, which aired in 2011. A second season (they're only three episodes each) aired in 2013.

Here's an intro to the first episode - but, really, don't read about the show - just watch it cold.

This clip is NSFW.

3. Two more I want to check out

Inside Number 9 has just been released on dvd (another British anthology) and Psychoville is by the same two guys that are doing Number 9 - but it was broadcast in 2009 and 2011 (two seasons, each 6 episodes.)
