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)

I was compelled to watch this episode of 'Black Mirror' a second time. There seems to be no doubt that the series has a fascination with dealing severe retribution and justice for crimes against humanity. 'White Bear' was a good story, but this one was brilliant in it's execution, weaving it's way through three interconnecting stories with Smartelligence agent Matthew (Jon Hamm) guiding us along. Each of those individual stories stand well on their own, but the way things are brought around to their ultimate conclusion is shocking in it's cycle of unending repetition. Watching the series in order, this one is so far the best that 'Black Mirror' has to offer, but I wouldn't be surprised if writer Charlie Brooker tops even himself in a later episode. The question is, where else can you go from here?

This episode from the series Black Mirror just creeps me out and upsets me on so many levels. It touches, I suppose, on many of the fears that affect me most, those being isolation, non-existence, having an active mind but a non-functioning body (like a coma where you can't move one bit so everyone thinks you're dead but in fact you hear everything), and picking someone up at a party or bar that you don't know, only to find out that it was a very bad idea. Oh, and how love can change to hate and the horrors that come with letting your love grow to the point where, if it ever was betrayed, it could drive you mad beyond reason. This is a high-def link and surprisingly they all seem to be on you-tube. The atmosphere you watch them in affects a great deal the impact they would have. Must be in the evening/night and must be with the lights dimmed low. That's not precisely because the night is scarier than the daytime but because dark moods and fears thrive better and are more susceptible to causing fear at night/in the dark. I'm not joking though ladies and gentlemen, this is serious stuff.

SPOILER: The British sci-fi anthology series consists of various tales about how technology will possibly create a more hellish world in the near future...and none of the episodes I have seen so far are as hellish a future as this one.The story is set in a room with two men. One is talkative and a bit jovial and the other, apparently, has been mostly silent the last five years. What follows are two stories by the more talkative man as he recounts how he abused technology. And, these stories, in turn, help the quiet man to finally start talking and he tells a very sad story about losing his wife/girlfriend (not sure which)...and she was pregnant! He desperately wants to see her and work things out...as well as see his child. But thanks to modern tech, he literally CAN'T see either as unfriending takes on a strange and sad finality.I really don't want to say too much about this one...it's not an easy episode to explain AND it would give away too much. Suffice to say it's exquisitely written, very moving as well as scary to imagine such an awful and hellish future...all perhaps possible one day thanks to technology. See this one!!
