Arkangel

The initial premise of this episode had me filled with great anticipation for another thought provoking gem. However as the story rolled on it became as predictable as spinning a 50 pence piece on a table. It never quite got to the edge and inevitability spun to a flat and foreseen ending.

Arkangel's episode from the black mirror should be an eye-opener for parents and future parenting. Children should experience all incidents from a young age. However, stopping them from making mistakes might be the biggest problem. This episode is not only for parents but also for couples, we should trust our partners and don't spy and expect explanations for everything. My takeaway will be not to care about anyone too much.

So, wow. I don't get how this is getting so much hate. I really have no idea.

This is a very down to earth episode about the human mind and helicopter-parents pushed to a Black Mirror standard. I can get behind everything unfolding in this episode and at all times am mesmerised at how interesting it all is.

I loved it from beginning to end. Fun to analyse, but I'll do that for myself at some point when rewatching. I'm sure there'll be a lot of videos online doing just that. I hope this doesn't become more hated on than it already is. I mean wow, it's a touchy subject for sure but ... give it a chance. Some of the flaws in here some see I just don't. Heads off to all the people involved and to Jodie Foster.

One of my favourite episodes of this whole series. Also, the age thing with Sara - I do not think it is an issue. But that'll be a spoiler if I elaboreted on it further. I think there are theorys that could clear that up or she just looks four years older. That is life, that happens, nothing bad or flawed about that.

I had really high hopes for this episode. Its premise is fantastic. A service that lets you see your child's exact location and even see through their eyes? But it just didn't deliver. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't a bad episode. But it doesn't stack up to Black Mirror's other episodes. The ending was also predictable and somewhat bland. 7/10

The topic is civil, if somewhat predictable and boring. There's really nothing interesting or beyond average in this episode. It's not bad, just average. However, in terms of real-life it's very disturbing because the things displayed in the episode (overprotection, developmental issues as a result of overusing digital technolgoies) are already happening today.
