That show was incredibly on the mark, if Black Mirror was a comedy it would have been that show.

The episode about the black engineer who isn't detected by the motion sensors is basically straight out of HP's webcam fiasco[1](although the show takes it to the logical and hilarious extreme).

Here's that episode on Hulu for anyone who happens to have a subscription and want to check it out:

In my opinion, BOT is one of the best comedy shows of the past decade and that episode is widely considered to be the best one.

This has been a real problem with facial recognition. Faces used to train engines are typically Caucasian, so the ability to distinguish other ethnicities is quite sub-par.

I loved that show so damn much. I was crushed when it was canceled.

Black Mirror IS a comedy. Nothing in it is realistic.

Don't take it seriously.
