The only Black Mirror episode I haven't been able to finish.
It took three goes to get into the story and then moved at such a glacial pace that, aside from the big event that happens about half way in, nothing really seems to happen. What does happen is laborious and obvious.
I came onto IMDb, read a few reviews, saw it wasn't going to get any better and so came out of the episode. This season opened strong with Joan is Awful. Loch Henry was good (although was more a straight-up thriller than Black Mirror) and then drastically dips with this.
Black Mirror is a show that can do almost anything, but it chose to do this.
