I would really like to see the world outside of 15 Million Merits

I think it would help to understand, why everyone is doing what they are doing. I'm so curious when it comes to unseen worlds/places.

Not sure, but I think the Waldo Moment episode is part of the world from 15 Million Merits. At the end of the episode, the last scene during the credits shows the girl from 15 Million Merits on a billboard, so the world is controlled by the makers of Waldo. Which makes sense since he's obnoxious and a lot of the shows/games in 15MM wee pretty obnoxious as well, all focused on humor and sex. At least, that's how I took it.

I believe "White Christmas" is also set in the same world as "15MM".

The t.v. stations Potter scrolls through before landing on the news about Beth feature (I'm pretty sure) "Hot Shot" and the host of "Botherguts".

Also, the reprisal of "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is" seems like a little bit more than just a subtle nod.

I assumed the whole show took place in the same universe. Maybe some farther in the future than others with each episode focusing on a different aspect of the way technology could shape our society.
