9/10
Nobody here understands Black Mirror

Warning: Spoilers
People here seem confused about what constitutes a Black Mirror episode.

Several of the episodes of this series don't feature technologies, including the first episode 'The National Anthem' and one of the most acclaimed episodes 'Shut Up and Dance'.

This episode was about media, one of the most important technologies that exist, and our relationship with it. It was tense, sick and damning of true crime culture and our morbid obsession with it.

The last ten minutes offer up some of the best satire of the modern media landscape I've seen recently.

The only thing that bothered me was how the character of Pia reacted to the revelations in the third act, seemed a bit cheap to me.

Apart from that, one of the best episodes of the series for sure.
