I enjoyed the first and third stories but the second story and the end were not enjoyable for me. I think this is the risk they took but creating three stories but I do praise the way that they linked the stories except the ending. I feel like the ending was just put in to have an additional link to an earlier story when it was not needed.

A strange situation, or maybe two strange situations. On one side a peeping-tom voyeur who uses modern technology to get inside the bedroom and the bed of two people who are going to have casual sex, the man having been guided step by step into the situation and into this end by the voyeur and his audience. But unluckily the woman is different and for her, this sex episode has to be the full and final contact with the man she has selected, and thus sex for her is death for both.The voyeur did not report the crime and thus is in custody pending some sentencing.On the other hand, a young man discovers by accident his wife is pregnant. She declares she wants to get rid of the child. He refuses. She uses some advanced technology to block him for her. Both cannot have any contact at all until she lifts the blockage. But she dies in a car accident, leaving the child behind in the hands of her father.The supposed estranged father is no longer blocked and he can approach the child. He discovers the child is not his, but that of an Asian friend of the family. Out of rage he kills the father and abandons the child who dies in the cold outside when she leaves the house. The man is imprisoned and the victim of a sentence that blocks him in the father's house, the child dead outside in the snow, but he refuses to confess and there are no witnesses.The police use the great competence of the voyeur to project himself into the house and lead the man to confess his crimes. He is condemned to spend an eternity in this house with blaring Christmas music, each one of the real-time minutes is experienced as if it were five years long. The voyeur as for him is free but he is blocked by everyone and is thus condemned to have no contact whatsoever with any human. Tomorrow technology is leading us to the worst possible enslavement to the police, the state and some kind of fatalistic future. To get some pleasure and adventure you have to break the law. There is no escape: it will be known sooner or later and then you will be turned into some kind of virtual being going through some unimaginable torture. Welcome to hell on earth and in prison.Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU

Thanks to the smooth, handsome presence of Jon Hamm this is an eminently watchable episode. However, Hamm brings across some of the creepiness of his Don Draper character.Stuck in an outpost with a "colleague", named Joe, the Hamm character (named Matt) starts telling how he ended up in the allegedly sh**y job, far removed from society. As a sidelines from his main job, Matt used to run a sort of dating service, giving real-time advice to insecure men on how to hook up with girls. Unethically, Matt shared these experiences live, with his previous clients. Voyeurism turns into Matt's demise, when one of his clients hooks up with the wrong girl. Then Matt starts talking about his main job and from this moment it is clear where the episode is heading. Matt's job is actually convincing his "colleague" Joe to open up about his past and since Matt is so smooth you can bet he will succeed.The story takes place during the Christmas period and the festive atmosphere adds more creepines to the unfolding tale. Do not expect a happy ending (sorry Matt, not even for you, since you don't deserve it)

That was awesome. How everything ended was great. The main idea and how to deliver the concept of memory copy was good. I liked John Hamm. I kept thinking about if we took a copy of mind and made it do nothing for some time just to obey the orders in future. Black mirror is one of the best shows I ever watched.
