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'll admit to being initially underwhelmed by this one, but as it went on it got better and better, with the story becoming more and more compelling and the agenda of Sara's overbearing mum Maria becoming more controlling. With all the enhancements in technology and society's craving for more and more technical integration the real scare here is this felt like something that could perhaps be a reality one day. The arguments for and against the implant device are well balanced, you see things from viewpoints of Sara and Maria. Superb performances from Rosemarie DeWitt and Brenna Harding, and wonderfully directed, bravo Jodie Foster. Another sizzling episode. 9/10

Why cast someone who's clearly 20+, as a 15-year-old? I couldn't suspend my disbelief on that one.

Other than that, decent episode that, while failing to stick the landing, should provide an adequate cautionary tale.

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

Very decent episode showing that you can't save your childs from whole dangers in life.
