Recensie (4)
One of the few episodes of Black Mirror where the fictional world doesn’t differ in any significant sci-fi way from ours. It’s basically a classic techno-thriller where the main character gets in a conflict with internet extortionists. The plot is worth four stars, but the final exposition takes it up a notch.

Cyberbullying in a tech trolling thriller riding the Simon Says wave. The escalating tension of a deadlocked situation to (and beyond) the very edge of bearability. In that respect, it smacks of Watkins's debut Eden Lake. The cherry on top is the pleasantly relativising twist.

The unexpectedly brutal and malicious finale raises this IT awareness episode above the standard fare. Pleasantly down-to-earth actors and mainly and with many moments one experiences in real life, in this case taken to hysterical extremes.

Whoa. I almost don't know what else to write. Just whoa. Again, such an intense episode, where in the end, little is as it seems until the last moment. And the punchline this time is perhaps even more insidious than in the episodes I've seen so far.
