I’m done episode 3 and I’m going “ugh”. Not in the same way that the first 5 seasons had me going UGH but still an unsettling feeling in my gut about the story Charlie Brooker is trying to tell. Ep 1 and 2 were pretty good on that front but I feel like ep 3 turned on a dime in believable character actions.

    I’ve watched the first 2 episodes and really liked them. I saw someone complaining that Loch Henry doesn’t have a tech aspect, but I disagree. The principle of Black Mirror is to look at how tech interacts with people, but that doesn’t have to be new technology. Film is a technology that changed the world, and enables us to learn about others and connect with our family more, for better and worse.

      Ah tech wasn’t a strong theme in these, it was very twilight zone. No judgement but the tech in Loch Henry is nearly a reach.

      There’s zero tech in one of the other episodes later.
