What was interesting about the second episode?

I don't think it was great or anything like that but it felt like the most "black mirror-y" of the 3 to me. It really held my attention for like 80% of it but it petered out and ended with a whimper which was disappointing. I prefer that one over the others though, which I can honestly say will never at any time have any desire to watch again.

It did have a Black Mirror feel to it, but it was set in the past, showing how close some of this stuff is to reality. I think it was the best of the three though and kept my attention.

I thought the Miley Cyrus episode had a strong Black Mirror feel to it as well, with the consciousness trapped in the robot doll... plus it poked fun at pop star idolization. It just wasn't that good of an episode though overall.

Vipers was just weird to me... so I guess the sensation of sex in the video game is better than in real life? And then the wife was okay with him virtually banging his friend on his birthday so she could go out and pick up some strange as well. Just never really got into that whole episode.
