Very drammatic, and feelful episode. The best episode of this season, and one of the best episodes of this tw show. Can't understand negative rewievs on this episode.

I'm genuinely puzzled that people generally didn't embrace this episode. I loved it; the feeling of helplessness that the main character has and his downward spiral, the satirical poke at social media - It had something to say and was an engaging watch.

Good but not great
It was the best episode of the season not because it was the most enjoyable but because it was the best representation of what Black Mirror is really is.

Os personagens secundários são apenas figurantes pra uma história frágil e atrevida

Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too is still the best episode for this season. Miley Cyrus made an excellent job but this episode wasn't very good

I don't like this episode to be honest. It's not great at all! The plot is awful
