Well the episode is perfectly fine ok but completely out of character/style
some random idea probably taken from another series/movie/writer's pitch and just boldly interjected in.
Cuz why not... there's no theme here let's inject whatever dramatic story in i mean at the end of the day one can always over analyze and argue that such themes ass technology/the future the series uses are just a means to an end and the series is really about how people how society turns it's self into a dystopia and etc etc etc but it doesn't matter .whatever drives the plot makes the difference just because it's different doesn't make it bad but it makes it not black mirror it lacks the character the feeling and style of the series and you can't just take these elements away even if the motive is the same even if nothing's different the format or story can be practically identical but it's the implementation that matters
just like action movies generic plots good guy bad guy rescue save etc etc the formula is the same but the reason different movies and franchises stand out is the implementation
so yeah nope... as far as i'm concerned this episode isn't black mirror it's separate "from the creators of black mirror" would be a reasonable way to describe it but it lacks any bm soul lacks the technology the future the dystopia just nope.
