    Season 1 and 2 + the Xmas Special are solid gold. It was a straight BBC joint then.

    The themes and direction were clear and the show did what it set out to do. I enjoyed that. There are plenty of fair criticisms of the show, but pre-Netflix-collaboration Black Mirror has to stand alone.

    I finally found time to stop by the Ludlow Memorial. I pass by it frequently for work. It was way more emotionally effecting than I had expected.

    If you are in the area, it's worth the visit. It's run-down and seems to represent the neglect of labor over the years, but it still stands to remind workers that they have power. Radical power.
