This episode counts as one of the weaker additions to the series. The memory thingie attached to your head concept has become rather overused in the show now and this episode as well as the last focus less on innovative technology.
However, this episode shows a woman's natural decay in sanity who gets to enormous brutal lengths to hide a perfect crime. The problem? There have been umpteen other movies and shows that have handled this trope better. The Recaller is the only addition since this is a Black Mirror episode, an aspect they could have explored more.
There are so many plot holes - 1) How could she easily kill a man twice her size with him not even struggling to get her off 2) Why doesn't she even wear a mask in the final murder? Was she really planning to kill off all witnesses who showed up looking at her face instead of covering it? Are masks even a thing in the future. Also, might I add the baby being blind was such a sad excuse of a twist to make you feel doubly sad. And the hamster twist is fine but doesn't feel earned after sitting so long in the episode. This episode should have just been a 40 minute affair.
