A decently written episode, but they do the brain implant/virtual reality theme absolutely to death.

It's my biggest qualm with later seasons, they just do episode after episode of the exact same thing. One of the earlier seasons' greatest strength is the variety of tech themes that they explore. The implications of brain implants/VR are interesting, but there's an inherent lack of creativity on the writers' part by falling back on it over and over again.

It's almost guaranteed that 3/4 new episodes are going to be brain implants/VR.

Really solid Episode. Even though this is one of the longer episodes of season 4 at 59 minutes, the pacing was so well done that every moment feels as tense as the last. This is classic black mirror, giving you a glimpse into the not so distant future, leaving you with that feeling afterward like only Black Mirror can. 8/10

I am very shocked at the number of derogatory comments about this episode. I thought it was excellent. Black Mirror is fictional drama, it's not real life and the posters who are questioning the logic of the programme really are missing the point. Logistics and technology out of the equation, it really is just confirming that bad things can get progressively worse when not addressed properly. I thought the acting was superb, the location of filming was isolated and desperate (like the main character) and I would say this is my second favourite Black Mirror after San Junipero.

One of the darkest black mirror episodes I've seen, this one explores the spiralling depths someone is capable of in order to protect a secret and a way of life.

It left me with a very dark, uncomfortable feeling at the end, but well worth the watch.

I am amazed at the negative reviews; this is a train wreck episode and I mean that in a good way. It is compelling television- The twist is not something you would expect and maybe some of these haters just didn't like it- The setting in Iceland is stark and it is a brutal story. Brilliant.
