Black Mirror is Coming to Netflix

Has Netflix committed to a third season of the UK series Black Mirror? That's what some are saying and I hope it is true if that is the option versus ending the series. The eclectic and dark science fiction/fantasy series is a late import from overseas but a welcome change to the regular television lineup. Whether providing unique punishments or reviving the deceased, each episode is a quick view of a very different world. Think of it as an updated Twilight Zone

Only seven episodes of the British series have aired over the years - two seasons of three episodes apiece and a special episode starring Jon Hamm. It was worth the wait for each season and I only hope Netfix can keep the quality even if it picks up the pace. 

Unfortunately, I think this will be a U.S. series set on this side of the Atlantic. That is unfortunate and will probably destroy some of the appeal. While I will check it out if it ever comes into being, I already miss the British version.
