Trivia
Several references are made to the Indiana Jones franchise. Sonja (Hannah John-Kamen) compares Cooper (Wyatt Russell) to Indiana Jones, the bar where they meet is named The Raven (as is Marion's bar in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)), and Cooper mimics ripping the heart from the figure in the house while shouting "Kali Ma," mimicking Mola Ram's character in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984).

I was thoroughly engaged from start to finish. Wyatt Russell delivered a powerhouse performance portraying the extremely likable protagonist. I found the concept to be quite relatable and really well-executed, although it's by no means new. The twists and turns are so effective. The way this episode ends sent shivers down my spine. The setup is a bit longer than it should be, though.
I know this may be an unpopular opinion to have but this is my highest rated, and probably my favourite, Black Mirror episode I've seen so far.
