dvr this DirecTV, Christmas, 9:30-11 p.m. Also on Netflix Instant This British import is a contemporary Twilight Zone, mostly focused on the dark, dark possibilities of over-reliance on technology.

dvr this On demand on Netflix The second season of Netflix’s breakout hit dramatic comedy about a women’s prison debuted last week, and I binged on all thirteen episodes in one sitting.
