Seems some people on my twitter watched live but I'm catching up on iplayer.

 

I don't really know about it but thought I'd start a thread. Here's what thy mighty Wiki says:

 

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace is a three part BBC documentary series[1] by filmmaker Adam Curtis, well known for other documentaries including The Trap and The Power of Nightmares. It starts on Monday 23rd May 2011 at 9pm on BBC2.[2]

 

The title is the same as a 1967 poem[3] and collection of poems by Richard Brautigan.

 

It is about how computers have failed to liberate us and instead have "distorted and simplified our view of the world around us"[2].
