    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Charlie Brooker has stated that the lack of futuristic elements was intentional, and he wanted to do an episode that is Black Mirror-y but occurs in the present.
    • Goofs
      The sniper could change his position for a clear shot long before Chris ever got to talk to Billy, but he didn't.
    • Quotes

      Chris Gillhaney: I heard that you make these things that way. Addictive. So that you can't take you eyes off them. Well, job done. Bit of user feedback for you there. Maybe factor that into your next update.

    Its been a while since a performance made me cry

    This episode tore me apart, I wanted to play the moral high ground but I had no idea who to route for, I had a vague idea of what was going to happen but never exactly pin pointed an idea. I highly recommend this to any avid black mirror fan.
