VIDEO: How TV Ruined Your Life - Episode 04 - Love
Presented by British journalist and screenwriter Charlie Brooker, the six-episode BBC Two series How TV Ruined Your Life examines the myriad ways television has warped our perception and expectations of reality, leaving us hopelessly unfulfilled. This episode focuses on the unrealistic, idealized love affair TV props up as the norm, and how that relationship is actually a hopeless, soul-crushing fantasy. Happy Valentine's Day!
