Overall great episode. Tim Meadows steals the show. Such great comic writing for his character and Meadows makes the most of it. His considerable comic talents really shine through and it's great fun seeing him used so well.

We are also reminded what an entertaining ensemble cast. Just like season one in immediately wanting the next episode.

Love Giamatti and without him and the technology hook, it's a very pedestrian lost love story and excessively mawkish.

I would have loved to be sitting in on the marketing meeting for this technology.

How can we narrow our market to a specific relatively small segment of the population?

We should call ourselves Eulogy and market to people who have recently lost love ones, need help with the funeral and can afford the service.

So many applications, the most basic anyone wanting to revisit happy (or any) faded memories from the past. Large market.

Here are two, perhaps more interesting, storylines:

Childhood trauma revisited and the discoveries that can shape understanding and healing.

Witnesses in a murder trial and the discovery the inaccuracies in their memory of the event.

What makes Black Mirror worth watching is the premises are always creative and interesting even if the storylines can't live up to them.
