Oh the irony of giving this a star-based rating. This episode was brilliantly acted by Bryce Dallas Howard, she gives an extremely well executed nuanced performance that makes you understand the subtle shifts in tones. This episode is by far a breath of fresh air with the comedic aspects that are included, and the satisfying ending giving some sort of "hope." Most "Black Mirror" episodes end in a very dull and mouth dropping way after revealing a big plot twist. The twist in this episode is that it ends refreshingly hopeful, and somewhat optimistic while still conveying a great message for society-no one is perfect, and we shouldn't spend our time trying to be something that isn't realistic, especially when it's for show. One can be fully realized through self actualization whilst being completely authentic. Authenticity is something that this episode explores, while showing you the downside to social media and its effect on society.
