TV dramas like Black Mirror have gone mainstream, proving there's a wider audience for dystopian horror. Series creator Charlie Brooker said he's now jealous of Severance because he keeps hearing that it’s a "much better" show.

Charlie Brooker said he's not watching Severance; he's heard enough people asserting that's a better show. "There's certainly a show I haven't watched that's made me jealous. People keep telling me to watch Severance, and I haven't let myself do it because they also say to me, "Oh, you'll love it. It's a bit Black Mirror-y, but it's much better,'" he told THR. It's been 13 years since Brooker delved deep into dystopian horror; Black Mirror Season 1 instantly gained a cult following as an unapologetically dark TV show. Severance gained its fan base similarly, but quickly broke into the mainstream in Season 2.

Black Mirror and Severance have one more thing in common.
