7/10

Solid introduction to the series and true to the form of the "black mirror" - a reflection of society's darkest desires. That of voyeurism, that of grabbing the next viral sensation, of all Black Mirror episodes, this one perhaps feels the most grounded and prescient, almost oracle-like in how it approaches its subject matter. However, you can also tell the series is still securing its footing, exploring and experimenting in what the show wants and should be, if it should be anything at all. Characters are a bit thin and more explored as vessels for the message, which is okay but later episodes would plumb the depths of human emotion to some of the greatest effects imaginable.
