I consider this episode to be a movie. It felt like one. The lighting, music, choreography and acting gave it a vivid tone which truly involves the viewer. It felt like more than an hour run but didn't drag on one bit.
The show keeps you guessing for so long that it feels worth it when your patience pays off. The subject tackled is something which you don't see elsewhere, but it's tackled in a way that lacks the usual cynicism of Charlie Brooker (the writer). This was an improvement. However, that is not to say that the episode is not perverse in its own way. You take your own cynicism to the table, which I believe is better. Depending on your philosophical stance on the issues at hand you'll either be elated or crushed or both.
I was both. If only I didn't have a degree in philosophy then maybe I could take it at face value. But then it wouldn't be as beautifully twisted as it is.
10/10
