- TriviaThis is the first episode since episode 1.1, The National Anthem (2011), to only feature currently existing technology.
- Goofs*SPOILERS* The laptop camera captures Kenny masturbating while looking at images on the screen, and this video is used to blackmail him. When the video is leaked, he is accused of watching illegal pornography. Some viewers have claimed the laptop camera would not have revealed what Kenny was actually viewing. However, it is possible the hackers could also have recorded a screen capture, and then created a split-screen video displaying both Kenny and what he was watching.

About two thirds into the episode is when I hit the point where I uncontrollably started smiling like a madman. The execution of the absolutely horrifying situation and decision making that the two main characters had to experience was just perfect. I had to resort to grinning just to make sure I was still me and not them, I suppose.
Unfortunately, I got lost on the big reveal the first time around. Actually, I didn't think it was a reveal at all, but more of a misunderstanding. But with Black Mirror, there's always something enjoyable about not fully grasping the twist and the story's subtle hints right away. When you re-watch moments of episodes like this one, you'll notice a lot of details in dialogues and actions that really makes you feel dumb for not picking them up instantly.
