This show is so good... You would be hard pressed to find anything similar in quality, execution, content, acting and production value anywhere else. This episode just soars from starting to finish, always captivating, thrilling and suspenseful. And in the end it is not just some cheap sensational reveal that you'd find in every other show. The climax stays true to the logical and realistic rules that you'd expect such a universe to follow. It's so simple, yet so effective. My mind is blown.

Many people have suffered tremendously at the hands of pharmaceutical companies and their phase tests to map the drug. We should expect something similar with all the other emerging techs whether it be A.I., VR, Genetic Design, Biotechnology or nanotechnology. It's in people's nature to be careless. And the consequences of carelessness with such powerful technologies are going to be tremendous.

This show has chosen to be the voice of reason and caution amidst such exaggerated excitement because it has identified with the lack of such awareness and critical thinking. We'd soon be in dire need of such pragmatism.

I was thoroughly engaged from start to finish. Wyatt Russell delivered a powerhouse performance portraying the extremely likable protagonist. I found the concept to be quite relatable and really well-executed, although it's by no means new. The twists and turns are so effective. The way this episode ends sent shivers down my spine. The setup is a bit longer than it should be, though.

I know this may be an unpopular opinion to have but this is my highest rated, and probably my favourite, Black Mirror episode I've seen so far.

(9/10)

Let me start by saying that I rarely find the need to write physical reviews for many things, but then again that doesn't even matter. There was no doubt in my mind that I needed to inform others about the sheer audacity of this amazing episode.

As a fan of Black Mirror, I was excited to start this season. The first episode was very well-executed and I'm not quite sure what I was going to expect for the second episode.

But let me tell you.

This is one of the most well-made, well-directed, well-acted, truly terrifying, most intense pieces of television/film that I have ever seen. And I've seen some pretty disturbing s***. Nothing compares to what I just witnessed with this episode. Everything was so expertly crafted, that it made the climax that much more satisfying. I don't even know how to begin to process this episode.

I am truly in awe of how much time, effort and dedication the creators put into this show, let alone this singular episode. It is clear that both the writers and directors of this show truly care about phenomenal filmmaking.

Also, shout out to Dan Trachtenberg for directing this episode. As a debut director with 10 Cloverfield Ln, he was a force to be reckoned with. With this entry of Black Mirror, he proves that he won't hold back. Excited to see more from him! Second shout out to Netflix, as the distributor for this season. You guys really know what people want to see!

I watched this episode with my 19year old son. At the end I asked, what's the moral of this story? Always answer when your mom calls!!

As an avid horror fan, I've seen pretty much all there is to see from the horror/thriller genre, I say that proudly, however I would be inclined to say that this is the best piece of horror/thriller cinema I've ever seen. Charlie Brooker absolutely killed this episode, if you pardon the pun, and single-handedly managed to create a better horror text than thousands of famous horror writers before him. Kudos to Brooker and the Director for this phenomenal masterpiece!
