The beginning was very intriguing; I thought it was going to go a "letting technology make all of your decisions for you" route with how the main two kept constantly checking their circular devices for tips, which feels apt in light of research on the topic of our brains adapting to being able to google everything, etc. However, it ended up instead just being all really... Hollywoodish, and not in a good way. The whole "the guy shouldn't look at the expiry date but haha he does!" was basically a Saturday morning cartoon plot to me. And then it turns out it was all a computer calculation? That numbed the stakes a lot since it's just about an app running statistics. The episode just turned those statistics into a story. I didn't get a sense that I was supposed to see it as a tragic death of 1000 computerized people or anything and otherwise it's meaningless. It's like writing a science fiction story about the life and times of meteorologist predictions.
Was pretty disappointed. I like Black Mirror most when it incorporates incisive science fiction into character pieces and intimate dramas and I was hoping for that here. Instead, the main duo was intensely generic with a generic plot to boot. The only "different" thing was the twist, but that twist felt hollow.
I would say that a lot of the comedy was pretty good.
