People seeing no sci-fi gadget or tech or mumbo jumbo have not been following Black Mirror enough. BM has always been a social criticism of the impact tech has on everyday people. This time in episode 2, Loch Henry has been about humongous content on OTT platforms catering to needs of "bored" people, binge watching content on these platforms. Thus it is breeding a new crop of indie-filmmakers, ready to set themselves apart and shoot films in various genres like "true crimes", which do get them popular but at the expense of a victim or some (now) reformed person (by digging out his/ her past), which sometimes may not be worth it. Some skeletons should remain in the closet. A lot of times, this (views) fame comes at a personal cost.
This episode is also a social commentary on how production houses are insensitive to content and just look for view count.
As for this episode, it is very scenic and chilling at the same time. Awesome cinematography and great work with creating a chilling atmosphere. It will sometimes feel like some jump scares are waiting at corner.
But overall a very good watch and rewatch (with added insights).
Spoiler: I feel the guy who owned the bar and his father and his (expired) mother, all knew about Dave's family but didn't had any proof. His used Dave to bring the limelight back to his town and his bar.
