Black Mirror: Joan Is Awful (2023)
Season 6, Episode 1
Mediocre

Warning: Spoilers
Not sure about this series of Black Mirror. 3 episodes in and all I see are badly-written scripts and plotholes. This episode started off so promising, but when characters just do not do what anybody would do - i.e. Ask HOW is this happening, rather than just react to the outcome like an NPC - it becomes a frustrating watch.

Once a character reveals the mechanism for the scenario, why wouldn't the main character just destroy the mechanism or leave it at home?

The Russian Doll twist is neat, but doesn't stand up to scrutiny. If that is so, then WHO are all these levels for? AI for AI? Even in the realms of deep sci-fi, if you go too far down the rabbithole, things still need to have logic.
