Arkangel

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 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.

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

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.

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.
