Each episode has a complete different set of characters with a different story to tell. It also has different settings and different themes and ideas for each episode however it is supposedly all based on the way we live now. Each person has a different reality.
The first episode I watched was Season 1 Episode 1 called The National Anthem. I don't even know where to begin. I didn't understand the episode at all. It had too much swearing and it was vile. I didn't want to even watch the next episode after seeing the priminster have sex with a pig however it was 12:30am and I was bored so I gave the second episode a try.
The second episode I watched was Season 1 Episode 2 called Fifteen Million Merits. This episode wasn't too bad but it was just very confusing. It started off with a man sleeping and all four walls around him were digital screens. When it was time for him to wake up a rooster would appear on the screen and do its wake up call. He then had to swipe his hand to get rid of the rooster. Everything around his was touch screen or body movement sensitive. Every day the people would have to sit on a gym bike and ride it to gain points so they can buy food or buy toothpaste or whatever they needed. This shows how technology is taking over as we become more dependent on it.
Once they reach 15 million points they an decide to try out for a TV show called Hot Spot which is where they can show off their talents. One woman tried out for it and she had a beautiful voice however she couldn't move forward in any career unless she showed everyone her boobs. This shows how women in society are treated unfairly as all men want to do is use them for their body.
