I think by far the darkest torture in the series is on the AI at the end of the episode. Basically millions of years of unending torture in a small space and annoying music. Horrible

What bugs me is the fact that blocking the guy at the end from everyone really doesn't make any sense. He can still interact with society, just can't communicate with anyone. It's really only a matter of time before he gets fed up and starts killing people, seeing as they're just dehumanized blobs now and he's marked as 'dangerous'. Like how many years would it realistically be before he just says f it I've had enough of this and does something dumb. They've essentially released a ticking time bomb into society

This episode was by far the most cruel, dare I say mean-spirited of the series. Certainly a hard watch.

I just realized. They tortured the Joe cookie for 5 years in isolation. Wouldn't that be a confession under duress?

This was by far one of the most disturbing episodes!

Am I the only person who is scared that this show "black mirror" is basically giving humanity ideas😂

This is just terrible. You dismiss the concept of consent completely and refuse to delve into the concept of what it means to be “code” which is one of the main elements of the story. Come on man, this is really poor.

Your ideas regarding women's reproductive rights and abortion seem very outdated.

The guy locked in the AI room for basically eternity was really sad. Yes, he killed the ex's dad out of temporary insanity, and leaving the little girl was horrible. But his cheating girlfriend got pregnant, dumped him without telling him there was a good chance the baby wasn't his, obviously knew it wasn't his after the baby was born, blocked him so he had no chance to see what he thought was his daughter (Of course never telling him it wasn't his daughter). That guy did not deserve what happened at the end. The ex died in an accident, but that honestly was better than she deserved.

i was more upset that she acted like he didn't have the right to be upset with her decison? i understand it's the womans decison but he is allowed to be angry and state his opinon... especially when he thought it was his

Beth is one of the most unlikeable characters I have ever seen.

Listening to 'I Wish It Was Christmas Every Day' in the room you unintentionally murdered the father of your recently deceased ex-girlfriend with a snow globe that was supposed to be a gift to your child whom you have never seen the face of who turned out to not be your child and the body of that child lays dead outside your window for one-thousand years per real-life second for the entirety of christmas until some bloke returns to their job at which you will probably be deleted from existance.

Those 2 detectives at the end of the episode deserve hell

what i dont get is, if your blocked by society, how do you buy food? are all characters on movies and shows blocked too? maybe im just too high..

My favourite episode of Black Mirror, and this video only showed me that there was even more to unpack about it. Top job.

The idea of blocking somebody as a form of criminal punishment is a terrible idea, one of the worst 'futuristic' ideas I've seen. I posted about this on IMDB too. It would only make people more angry, more frustrated and more prone to violence. Plus if they can no longer work, they're either going to be a burden on the state in caring for them financially, just like prison, or they'll be reduced to begging or stealing, which I don't think the criminal justice system would want either.

1,440,000 years of that suffering.

John Hamm's character got arrested for recording A LOT of people having sex without their knowledge (the partners, not the people with the contacts), streaming it to a bunch of people, and witnessing a murder without reporting it. Cutting off the stream doesn't mean he didn't know it was happening. That's the equivalent of just closing your eyes and saying "See? Not a witness".

Even if matt didn't broadcast the footage or blackmail with it, it's still super sketchy to record someone having sex without their knowlege.

I'm surprised by the fact that you didnt mention the fact that the girl from this episode sang the same song as Abi from s1e2.
