I've got very mixed feelings about this episode, I feel like I could have given it a 5 or a 9, so I settled on a 7!
It really reminded me of a Twilight Zone episode. Like most episodes in this series, it coasted along (for far too long) waiting to be defined by it's ending. The ending was very good in my humble opinion, and saved the episode. The lead character was good.
It seems like every new season on Netflix needs to have some political angle in order to be made, and even Black Mirror has succumbed to the inevitable white supremacist storyline. In addition to that, an evil Tory. I'm not a fan of politics in TV. Certainly not in Sci-fi and most definitely not in Black Mirror! Whilst not irrelevant to the storyline, it's becoming an old trope that's getting boring.
Overall, a decent episode that's worth a watch.
