But it is a "Black Mirror" episode that could happen right now, in the present day, and we always like when the show pulls that off. Sure, this one's scary, but it's just scary. There's some "Purge"-quality social commentary here, and that's nice. But "Black Mirror" is usually smarter. This episode relies too much on typical scares to be among our favorites. The sudden turn into real-life horror is more affecting than the haunted house scenes. This feels like the umpteenth episode of "Black Mirror" in which someone's digital soul becomes trapped outside his or her body.
This time the victim is pop star Ashley Miley Cyrus! We like her , who ends up inside a robot toy owned by one of her adoring fans. A caper to reunite mind and body ensues, making this one of the funniest episodes of "Black Mirror. We recommend this episode, and all the ones that follow, with zero reservations. This episode has the best setup of any "Black Mirror," and seems poised to launch a savage critique of over-parenting.
But it doesn't escalate as much as we expected it to, and can't quite live up to its brilliant concept. This twist on "American Idol"-style mobs is gorgeously acted by Jessica Brown Findlay and a pre-"Get Out" Daniel Kaluuya, and their chemistry helps sell familiar lessons about literal cycles of exploitation.
We think about this episode every time we ride an exercise bike, which probably isn't often enough. This mean little story feels all the meaner because it's so easy to imagine it happening in real life.
It's a perfect first episode, because there's no better test of whether "Black Mirror" is for you. Letitia Wright and Douglas Hodge counter the ugliness with some beautiful acting.

Starring Chris Hemsworth. The thing is, there's a major plot hole in the episode. We're not talking about the science — this is sci-fi and we're down with that. We're not talking about the slightly dubious reference to emergency contraception that caused a few complaints either.
No, the plot hole that bothered us is a simple matter of human nature — and in particular, the nature of teenagers. In the story, DeWitt's Marie has opted to switch off the monitoring and filtering device implanted in her daughter Sara's brain, having realised that denying her exposure to stressful or troubling images was leaving her confused and desensitised to violence, and that constantly viewing what her daughter could see was an invasion of privacy that also hampered her development.
Without her mother controlling and spying on her, Sara has grown up to be a relatively normal year-old. Like other normal year-olds, then, Sara decides to lie to her mum about where she's spending the evening one night so she can go and hang out with a boy and smoke weed. She tells her mother that she and her best friend Meryl are going over to their girlfriend Riley's house to watch The Breakfast Club, but instead they head down to a lake for frolics.
