boring second episode

Was actually pretty good mainly due to Andrew Scott's performance. Basically his character was in a car crash that killed his mother and fiance. He was checking the Smithereen website on his phone instead of concentrating on his driving. He survived so later he pretended to be a cabbie and waited outside Smithereen's headquarters in London until he could kidnap one of the employees. He held this intern hostage and demanded to speak with Smithereen's creator Billy Bauer. He told Billy his story and sarcastically "congratulated" him on how addictive he had made it.

They’ve done this before in the show, they covered addiction to cell phones in the episode Nose Dive and did a much better job I might add. This was one note, like someone banging the same key over and over again on a piano. Cell phone bad. We need to stop making our lives center around our phones . . .great. Then they added extra pointless interactions, nothing was effectively changed by him reaching out to the company.

I wouldn’t call it exactly boring due to the good acting, but it wasn’t groundbreaking either. Just run of the mill episode. And what’s up with not showing what happened at the end, do they think it’s really creative? I think it’s a lazy filmmaking.

The point is: Instagram is bad. God is absent most of the time.

The point was to show us how Mark Zuckerberg looks like with a man bun.

It was ok, keep thinking that there must be some kind of twist at the end but it fell flat.

I think it's only for smart people can understand deeper detail and like to figure things out as watching.

As a standalone story, it was pretty good. As a Black Mirror episode, it was pretty weak.
