    Ignore the naysayers

    If you're not a techie, you will thoroughly enjoy this episode. Whether or not certain aspects of the show are technically possibly is not what I watch Black Mirror for. I watch it to immerse myself in a different reality that has real, human components to it. This episode had it all and the acting was superb, especially from Jesse Plemons. Jesse is one of those underrated actors who is just so believable in any role he plays. Super talented. Anyway, the story was great, tension kept building throughout and there was a highly satisfying ending. What more could you ask for?! Oh yeah, there's that accuracy problem regarding firewalls, DNA replication, etc. that everyone is complaining about. Who the heck cares?! It's fiction people! I wanted to watch this again as soon as it was over. Super episode!!

    Tons of Fun

    I dont care if it had plot holes or if it wasnt scientifically correct, it was a hell of a lot of fun...

    A great start to Series 4

    When it started I could feel my high expectations fading, I thought I was in for a bad Star Trek spoof, but within minutes I realised that they'd come up with the goods in this episode. The plot is extraordinary, so incredibly imaginative, a wonderfully slick script and great performances all round. In the better episodes of Black Mirror you get absorbed in the crazy world, in this one I truly did buy into it. So imaginative, so good. 9/10

    A really fun episode

    This one isn't really made to make you think and question your life. It's just an extremely entertaining, well made piece of television. It's very good.

    Funny and a little scary

    Black Mirror usually isn't funny, but this one is very funny; a spoof of nerdish "Trekkies." The character called "Nannette" is great, and the actress playing her does a great job. As always with Black mirror, the show has fantastic plot tension. Some of the Black Mirror episodes are off-putting but this one was pretty enjoyable all the way through. I don't know why someone criticized it for being political. This episode doesn't really have any political or social commentary at all; it's just a spoof of Trekkies, with a spice of futuristic technology. The humor was a bit cheesy at times, but so what.
