The thought of that woman trapped in the monkey is absolutely depressing.

A British person pretending to be an American pretending to be a British person-- that's absolutely mind boggling.

Some people get it wrong. Black Mirror isn't about the "evils of technology". Over and over again, the show's writers remind us that technology is neither good nor evil, that good and evil reside in all of us. All that makes technology bad is humanity's bad intentions.

It warmed my heart when carrie said monkey loves you to for saving her

I watched this frightened for Nish. She was young , beautiful and alone.I was expecting her to somehow end up in a trophy case

In my opinion, this episode had to be the most disturbing and darkest episode on black mirror. Yet I’m oddly hooked watching every episode lol

The whole episode I was worried for Leticias character. Walking into a museum in the middle of nowhere with a creepy man. But oh how I was proven wrong

Killing the guy that tortured your dad for years and keeping a piece of his consciousness to be tortured forever on the mirror of your car? Now THAT's metal.

18:18 what? She wasn't doing that for pleasure. It was for revenge. Her smiling at the keychain was just her smile of success, bringing revenge to the man that put her father into suffering.

17:11 I just realized something...Nish kept her mom in her head so they could both witness Rolo Haynes’s punishment. Nish will likely put her mom in Saint Junipero a long with Claire.

The short story about Dawson was so crazy it should have been given its own episode, but then again....it would have been a very dark episode

I never thought about Carrie being taken out of the monkey and put into San Junipero. That’s a nice ending for her.

This was like 3 episodes in one.

You made me really think about people suffering AFTER they had paid for their crimes, and the pleasure other humans took in their ongoing pain. I didn't think about that, and that realisation really struck me.

honestly, i was on her side when she got her revenge. she's not the same as haynes, because this personally affected her and her family. for the other people, it was just some random person they saw on the news or read an article about. it's not morally right, but it was more justified than what haynes was doing.

The keychains look like Tomagochis to me, so after watching this episode I questioned whether or not my favorite childhood toy was, in fact, sentient.

Last week I watched every single episode. It was an emotional nightmare

This episode broke me, it was so disturbing that I couldn’t finish it in one sitting

What the girl spoke about people forgetting protests easily & quickly moving on to the next viral injustice is facts! 👏🏿

Wow. I'm surprised at the reactions. I thought the ending was absolutely brilliant. He caused so much suffering to others and got his just dessert. He lied about the father, saying the family didn't care about him being in jail: they did. The father said he was innocent which I believed: sometimes people on death row ARE innocent. The song chosen was perfect because: there is always something there to remind me. The mother was inside the daughter, she got the souvenir AND she saved Carrie. I cried from sorrow and then was so happy at the end. I must be hella weird.

She wasn't taking pleasure from the torture she was smiling in her revenge. Standing up against your abuser doesn't make you an abuser. This whole moral thing of "but doesn't that make you just as bad as them" gets thrown out the window in real life.

"I would be absolutely out of my mind to go through every easter egg I found SO IM GONNA" 😂😂😂 this killed me but that's honestly such a mood

do you think you could make a video where you talk about the timeline of the black mirror universe?

WHEN HE SAID THAT DAWSON COULDVE KILLED THE WEATHER LADY I SCREAMED.

I binged all four seasons in the last three days and watched Bandersnatch. I had never seen them until now (don't ask why I took so long, I hate myself for it) and you're the third channel to warn against watching them back to back. You were so right, it messes with your head (especially ones with kids getting hurt as I am a mother) but I wouldn't have been able to stop even if I'd been warned first. The show is so good.

Black mirror is almost like a warning ⚠️ on how we should n shouldn’t do certain things solely for technological progress sake because the ideas for the tech in black mirror have been thought about or are possible today. Over seas they already started a social credit system based off your behavior...scary that was a concept in how quickly it can ruin your life

Another Easter egg I noticed was R. Haynes is the name of the museum currator in Black Museum and Stefan's Therapist in Bandersnatch!

I get sick to my stomach when i think about Clayton begging that first woman not to the pull the lever when he was first put in that museum. Ugh i just can't... this is the sickest series i have ever seen yo

When the mother said "monkey loves you" after the other girl trapped the doctor...that was so satisfying 😌😏

Nish morality shouldn't be question because she kept the keychain. Haynes. Was a horrible man.. Him possessing the monkey alone solidified his darkness. He deserved his punishment.. I think most pple would prefer to hand justice to bad pple. He would've forever got away with this shit if she didn't show up and put an end to him and the museum.

As soon as what's his face started choking I knew she was the other guy's daughter and had come to exact her revenge but it was still amazing how it all played out. And I definitely didn't see it coming that her mom was looking on inside of her. Wonderful episode!!!

I don't care. Nish is cool.. Let her smile.

her keeping the key chain is different bc he tortured HER DAD. It was personal. Everyone else was just trying to act "just" or do things for basic entertainment, she wants revenge on the man who tortured her father, was reason her mum tried to kill herself, the man who destroyed her family. So it's honestly not the same as every other example imo

I love this analysis of Black Museum, you have a very good grasp on the Black Mirror Universe and, I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes analysed in your style! But, this is just my own view on the Nish's morality, argument. Of course there is the question, of whether Nish's actions are truly just, but, look at it from her perspective. This guy tortured her own father for, however many years, turning what was the last part of him, that could have been given to her and her mother, into a vegetable. It's way more personal for her, than any of the other antagonists in Black Mirror. As someone who lost my own father figure, due to the ignorance of people who were meant to be helping him, I can absolutely see where Nish is coming from in regards to Haynes. Bitterness and anger left to fester, can make kind people do cruel things, to those who they feel have wronged them.

her revenge on hanes makes her seem more human, she did the right thing in most of our eyes but still did something morally ambiguous, which is important when developing a truly complex character... not one person is truly good or bad, and they played that into her character well. while what she did with hanes wasnt right, she does it in a way that the viewers can respect her actions.

Literally finished this episode crying. All of the episodes but especially this one and White Christmas gave me an actual existential crisis. All of this is so fucked up beyond imagination. After I finish these episodes, I always have a different perspective and it's like my mind is frozen. Might need to go see a doctor.

The museum was like a compilation of every episode. One of the best episodes so far.

Nish is very different. She isn't torturing random people for the pleasure of it, she's gotten revenge for her father (and her mother).

I binged this show all day and it literally made me afraid to sleep

-a device that allows you to feel the sensation of other people -transferring human consciousness into other people and objects - uploading human consciousness as computational representations. imagine this actually happened :(

Black MIrror: Black Museum is the "Marvel: Endgame" as its basically just the biggest crossover in the series.

Me and my ex boyfriend (of 4 years) watched this episode together, I swear it was because of this episode why we broke up so badly. I started crying over the 'monkey needs a hug' and thought it was awful what happened to her. My ex completely disagreed with me saying she deserved it. He got so angry that I sided with the mother. Our relationship went down hill from there. I'm glad he's gone as I've watched it again and it shows what type of person he is.

This show is soooo underrated it should be everywhere ...this episode had me balling has the credits rolled so many fucked up things.

Not ONE mention of how Shuri is STILL Shuri-ing?! I only watched this for her, and I needed this, Black Mirror. Also, I believe it's probably unlikely the doctor hurt the news reporter since he was watching the news about the missing woman, when he shattered the whiskey glass. He then tortured himself, and then the homeless man. If she was missing before all of that he wouldn't needlessly have hurt himself.

I 100% binged Black Mirror. I think it might be the most amazing, twisted show ever created and I’m living for it

Me: feels like binge watching Huh black mirror looks fun... Me hours later: 😶

This episode was 3 stories into one and all of them were f'ing lit

i watched the whole show in three days😂

I BINGED BLACK MIRROR! And yes, I was emotionally compromised.

I binged this show while braiding my hair, which is a 2 day event, at least.....I was creeped out for days afterwards 🤦🏾‍♀️

"I would be absolutely out of my mind to go through every easter egg I found " NOOOO .... " so im gonna " YESSSS

The cloning without consent sign could also be a reference to Be Right Back

I feel like nobody talks about the racial aspect of Claytons treatment and torture. Talking about a “future where mobs take justice into their own hands” ignores the years that black people have been unjustly punished by courts because of racism. That’s context that surely could’ve informed the show - in my reading of this episode anyway

As a fellow Guyanese, when I recognized Letitia Wright as the lead in this episode, I fangirled hard. That being said, I thought this episode had some of the best writing. It was engaging throughout, kept giving elements of a tapestry that came together at the end, and is an episode that I feel like watching again just so I can pick up on the cues I missed. One point. You mentioned that because Nish kept Rolo’s keychain, she may not have a better moral high ground than the customers who pulled the lever. I beg to differ. The customers were out for kicks. But Nish was out to settle a score for her parents and to end Rolo from his reign of torture. I even liked their names. Nish, according to urban dictionary, referring to a girl who is particularly intelligent and funny. Nish figured out how to free her father. And was witty enough to humour a mater manipulator like Rolo to trap him. And Rolo, what I could find was from the Rolo chocolates, having a “shallow and inverted shape.” That he is in his character.

This video deserves way more views, likes and comments. Well edited and nicely analyzed... Great job, man.

You really have to take a break in every episode. Specially this one

The problem with Clayton's case is he is punished criminally separately. He signs away the the rights(ownership) of his digital/electrical(soul/consciousness) without knowing or relizing the implications of his actions. This is comparable to signing away your Power of Attorney with knowing what this means. The fact he now owns this representation under contract is why he is able to continue to operate. As Clayton's consciousness is now a property or object as I am certain there would have clauses capturing this essence.

Theres no way u could take pleasure in torturing a real person without being a psychopath

The news story on the death of the reporter was also on the tv when dawson decided to start hurting himself so it likely wasnt him who killed her

At 0:59 there is a screen that says double suicide in reference to the dating plot in White Christmas

Your explanations of the episodes are the best, thank you ! I see so many more things now and even understand some of the episodes so much better.

By the way, you've done a GREAT job of explaining these episodes. Not only are you adding insight, but you're also increasing my enjoyment of the show. I like the show as it is, but by going into detail about so many things, you often point out details that I didn't necessarily catch on the first viewing. It greatly enhances my enjoyment of these individual episodes. Keep it up! I look forward to more!

This is one of my top favorite episodes from Black Mirror, thank you for creating such a great video!! This is my forever favorite show besides AHS :)

You missed one Easter Egg. There was a model in the museum of the hanged man from The National Anthem

The monkey still has me sooooooo fucked up. I think that's one of the parts that we, as viewers, cannot even conceive. She's truly alone, unable to move, no one can hear her scream, and most of all SHE'S IN A TOY MONKEY

The UN made it illegal to give cookies less than 2 expressions like the monkey toy... but also made it illegal to destroy them.

Ayee keep it up! I'm astonished by all the black mirror episodes and when u explain it with more details its even more of a mind blowing trip!! I love analyzing the small details they add to each show.

Very much appreciate you going through the references to all of black mirror in this episode, I was looking for a video that included them because I didn't understand quite a few. Thanks!

This episode was so dark but it has that very sweet satisfying ending

I actually cried watching this. Nish seeing her dad broken made me think about my dad. I felt so fucking bad for him.

Been binging your videos on Black Mirror. I adore the detailed and concise breakdown; this got me thinking. Your videos are titled Ending Explained when really what you do is a breakdown of the tone, plot, and subtext while providing insight on the narrative and shedding light on Easter eggs. For accuracy breakdown would be the correct title but I would agree you would reach a greater audience via search with ending explained. Anyway I really appreciate the time and effort spent on these videos and pointing out things I overlooked. Not to mention all off the little details about the writers and story inspiration. Top marks sir. I anxiously await your breakdown on season 5 as I do watching Season 5!

I absolutely love the way you breakdown black mirror I wish I had you watch all my favorite shows and give me your take on it.

This has instantly become my favorite Black Mirror episode by far.

I only saw Black Mirror for the first time just over a week ago. Binged it in 5 days.

this episode finally made me understand how cookies actually feel pain. i really didn’t get it before because i thought it was just a computer. but it’s a digital version of them and it feels real pain. this show is incredible.

The short story style of this episode was brilliant.

"She stumbled upon the museum" - That doesn't make sense, she came there specifically to get revenge, which you also confirm. As for the reason her mom was in her head was so that she could witness the revenge. She even says "How did I do mom?" and the mom says "I'm so proud of you" or something like that.

Binged two seasons in one go. That then bandersnatch came out, I spent hours going through the different options. Worst nightmares ever, so you’re disclaimer is so warranted.

Best episode! when I originally watched Black Museum I assumed that she put her mom’s consciousness in the car. And that’s why she could see her only in the car’s mirror. As stated in your video she is brilliant, there’s a possibility that was the case. Great video! I love this series

This guy broke down every little morsel of this show to perfection! Black Mirror is my favorite show now and I thought I wouldn't feel this way after Breaking Bad but I'm addicted!

“We see a future where someone can be unjustly punished by a biased accuser .” Well my friends the future is today!

Well Black Panther's sister is a super genius in the MCU. So I can see why she's so smart here. 😎

I didn't question her at all, it's definelty not the same😂 her dad was innocent so that was ACTAUL justicr.

the fact that she put the monkey to also watch him be tortured was amazing

18:25 How tf are there so many people who seem to get excited & pleasure for watching him getting tortured & suffering forever? Are there really THAT many psychos?

I started watching Black Mirror in 2016 and finished it yesterday bc each episode was a lot to handle emotionally. Can't imagine what it's like for people to binge the whole show.

as ALWAYS : best analysis on the web ! attention to details on point ! keep up the good work !

Nish's actions Is it truly justifiable or is it as inhumane as what the antagonists in the other episodes did? Keeps me thinking.. I really love this series because of the way it tackles moral and ethical issues in a manner that makes its viewers realize things and wonder about things.

just realised the rats are called kenny and hector, referencing the characters in shut up and dance

I cried when she said "Dad Happy birthday"

I've watched every episode of Black Mirror. After your videos I want to rewatch them for third time) good job

Other Kid: Hey Parker! Where's your Mom? Parker: She's inside my Dad. Other Kid: *WHUUTTT?!!*

It's also worth mentioning that the exterior of St. Juniper Hospital is Senate House in London, which was also used as the exterior of O'Brien's apartment in the film version of Nineteen Eighty-Four.

If black museum possesses every piece of bad tech... . . . . . . Where's the iPhone at?

Leticia wright did great acting in this episode, 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Broke TF outta me when the step mom had the mom up against that wall and the bear was so cute, innocent looking, mirroring how the mother was helpless, and she responded "monkey needs a hug. Monkey loves you." *Trigger warning* It was like child or animal abuse in a sense I cried. Horrible. 😭 But my favorite episode.

Ok, this is officially my favorite episode up until now!

I just wanna say, that as a person who indeed did binge all the episodes in a 2-day time period, I nearly became a living version of chris(smithereens) and stefan(bandersnatch). I was emotionally compromised.

You do a great job of reviewing these episodes! I prefer this more than by other people. Could you do a wider variety?

Wait… people really see nishs actions as unethical? Some of us really live in different worlds boy I tell you. She got revenge on the dude who tortured her dad in the most inhumane way as possible. Imagine seeing your FATHER in that vegetative state he was in. Y’all make me sick
