Thanks so much for the reply! In response to the first answer, is Black Mirror all set within one universe, or are they all just individual stories with no connection? Similar technology can be seen in The Entire History of You and White Christmas, for example, and there are constant references to characters or technology from other episodes. Does this mean that everything is all happening within the same world, just at different points in time, or are these simply Easter Eggs for the viewer to enjoy and nothing more?

Have you ever considered taking one of the concepts from an episode and turning it into something more? Black Mirror has always worked very well as an anthology, offering glimpses into a world that isn't as far away as we think, but some episodes could work well as a series. The Entire History of You, for example, has a very interesting framework with the idea of memory, and a lot that could be explored there. My favorite moment was during the fight towards the end, where when the woman without the Grain attempted to call the police, she was hung up on. Not only is this extremely relevant to us as a society right now, but it highlights how easily technology can divide us, and that's something that could be explored in a lot more depth.
Black Mirror has always had a divide between grounded episodes set in a modern day environment, such as The Waldo Moment or The National Anthem, and more high concept sci-fi episodes such as Fifteen Million Merits or Nosedive. Which do you find more fun to work with and why?
