That was an excellent one.
good back-story, and good acting
Don't listen to the negative reviews
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
This is no White Christmas, but it has everything it should - a controversial technology both useful and moraly dubious, a real human story behind it, things to consider after you finished watching it - it's like a real Black Mirror episode! The feeling of refreshment is so great I can forgive this episode the flaws that it had. And it did have a bunch, but I'm willing to overlook them.
I am a huge fan of Black Mirror, and I had a huge disappointment after watching Arkangel. Promising story as I have watched the trailer, but it doesn't deliver at the end. Soooooooooo BAD ending. This shouldn't be among Black Mirror's list of episodes.
If you've ever experienced the terror that goes thru your body when you think your child is missing, this episode starts with that. The steps the mother takes to prevent that from happening again, which we are already there with rfid for animals- is truthful. Except in Black Mirror fashion, it takes it to the extreme.
A way too old De Witt has a child who has a child that escapes a park; despite being closed in, then has a procedure done that keeps her on 24 hour surveillance. Disgustingly she is prevented from experiencing anything stressful. You know like real life. We are laughingly led to believe that the Mother is that paranoid but allows her to walk 2 miles to school ALL BY HERSELF. If she was attacked or abducted her Mother would not be able to save her. She turns into a 20 year..........uh I mean 15 year old who has porn sex her first time. Didn't hurt or anything. She ends up turning into a psychopath because.........well just because. Good performances but very little makes sense. Worst episode of the season of the 4 I've watched.
