Brand-new psychological drama, The Feed, was released on Virgin Media in September last year, with 10 thrilling episodes portraying a world where technology replaces the need for human communication and interaction.

The series is set a few years into the future where a technology called “The Feed” is implanted into everyone’s brains. “The Feed” enables people to connect to the internet and share thoughts and feelings without saying a word. It even enables people to delete bad memories from their minds completely and do anything they wish without having to move a muscle.

But, as is the danger with any technology today, things can go wrong, and systems can sometimes fall victim to serious cyber-crime. Which is exactly what happens to “The Feed”, with some very serious implications and disturbing consequences for the population of users.
