Okay, who saw Cate Blanchett and didn't immediately know what the twist was gonna be?
Even so, it was an enjoyable episode. A fun balance of humor and more-thoughtful matters. And the self-referential parts, though annoying, weren't as heavy-handed as they were in Bandersnatch.
I'd enjoy watching the episode again, especially with someone who doesn't have the stomach for the harsher episodes. But I honestly prefer the ones that leave you feeling devastated, through more-harrowing plot devices. Matter of taste, I suppose.
Black Mirror continues to posit some thought-provoking notions, fleshed out in compelling ways. What we saw in this episode may become nonfiction before we know it. And that's the cautionary beauty of the show.
