First review in quite a while, and thoroughly enjoying this series - got to it lately and just binging it.
Sadly this episode is really quite disappointing. As many have pointed out, the real star of the show is the scenery - bleak, ominous, forbidding. The episode itself though.... It starts well, the accident/murder making for a good background to build on, but it's developed clumsily. Personally, even in the dystopian and "suspended belief" world of Black Mirror, I just cannot buy in this meek architect turning pretty much into a cold blooded murderer in the space of one minute, tracking down potential witnesses and even murdering a baby. The technology element I also agree is weak. Certainly if such technology was widely used even by insurance companies, it would be common knowledge - so it's hardly believable she'd admit to being a witness to something happened as she was murdering someone. The acting mainly subpar as well compared to other episodes. Sorry, definitely not impressed with this.
