No, It's not anything like Black Mirror, but on it's own it's good. I think all the downvoting is because there's always a limited amount of episodes, so I'm sure the ones voting it 1/10 feel that a slot was wasted on this, which is fair. Even for the shortest episode of the batch, the pacing is slow, but I think the final 15 minutes really make up for it, and make the viewing worth it. The character arcs are a little boring, but I was most interested in Bo, and the last shot of her snapping a pic of the celebrity as she commits suicide was dark but also profound. She got what she went there for, and it's also evidence for what happened. She tried to be altruistic but she's a vulture just like the rest of them. I don't think anyone could have possibly predicted what would come of this episode or it's ending, and that alone passes for a Black Mirror episode for me. No, It's not in Scotland or the UK, a new futuristic technology isn't present, but if that's what people need to deem it a proper 'Black Mirror' episode, then said people are watching for the wrong reasons. That being said, the camera is technology, but it isn't advanced, and it causes the moral demise of the protagonist and the complete demise of the deuteragonist. Food for thought.
