Review by Shoebarno

This episode seems to have strayed far from the traditional weird way in which Black Mirror shows the dark side of futuristic technology. While I can see the angle of critiquing people's obsession with true crime shows on streaming platforms, this episode does not really deliver on that. A big criticism of the true crime genre is the terrible effect the shows have on the victims, many of whom show runners never seek permission from to tell these stories. So, when the episode tries to sell the character who sold their very personal story for all to see as the victim, I can't buy it.

The story itself, while good, is not new at all. It felt like I was watching a remake of an old horror film I had seen before, down to the details. It did not produce the eerie, surreal vibe that makes Black Mirror.

Strangely enough, though it did not live up to my expectations, I enjoyed it.
