Trivia
The memory recall interface in the Arkangel program when Marie is reviewing Sara's memories is similar to the Grain memory interface in The Entire History of You (2011).

Goofs
The school nurse tells Sara that the emergency contraception she took to terminate her pregnancy worked, but emergency contraception is like any other contraception; they prevent pregnancy. It does not do anything if you are already pregnant. Contraceptives are not and should not be confused with abortifacients.

Subpar by black mirror standards

I had really high hopes for this episode. Its premise is fantastic. A service that lets you see your child's exact location and even see through their eyes? But it just didn't deliver. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't a bad episode. But it doesn't stack up to Black Mirror's other episodes. The ending was also predictable and somewhat bland. 7/10
