Reading the reviews of this episode got me to write this review. The ones who give this episode a 8, 9 or 10 and writes a review they are the ones who got the point of what this episode was about. The people reviewing with 1, 2 or 3 starts and writing that they needed the classic black mirror twist or a high-tech device are the ones that I think this episode actually is about. People who wants quick thrills and nothing deep to think about and are on their phone all day long without realizing that the phone controls them instead of people living their lives and being master of they own decisions.

Well worth a watch a gripping hour of television with Andrew Scott at the top of his game.

Like the first episode, this episode is also not very "Black Mirror". However, the emotional impact it has really moves me. I just like Andrew Scott and his acting so much(btw check out "Fleabag" if you like him!). Social Media is not something innovative these days, but the way the story goes is wonderful. The story itself deserves a 10, but get a 9 since it's not as edgy as previous BM episodes.

This episode tore me apart, I wanted to play the moral high ground but I had no idea who to route for, I had a vague idea of what was going to happen but never exactly pin pointed an idea. I highly recommend this to any avid black mirror fan.

Other users here, have stated that they thought this episode lacked the normal black mirror depth. I really disagree, this episode was the the highlight of the season for me. People who say this episode was just a thriller, are missing the true message in my opinion.
