It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I know "black mirror fans" hates this one because it's not 'bleak' or maybe because it doesn't turn out with a bad ending, maybe it is a little clitche at the ending but guess what... it's THE BEST black mirror produced so far.I've been a fan of the series since season 1, this episode is by far the best structured with one of the most fulfilling stories, good characters, a flawed and perfectly executed villain and an incredible story well told.This is what cinema should be about. We shouldn't be judging chapters by how "similar" they are to the concept or if it's doing the series a well deserved black ending, we should be enjoying chapters for how good they are written how satisfying they are.Being a Trek fan AND a gamer, I would say I loved all the references. There are lots of good details inside, this is my new found GEM.

Some episodes of black mirror are very dark. This one has some dark undertones, but it's also fun too. As someone who's interested the real world dev of futurism and artificial reality, I found the concept of this cool. The story is interesting, a bit quirky, lots of tension, with a few cynical nods to the corporate structure of the tech world.And for someone who grew up watching all the old reruns of Original Star Trek, this one was a real treat.

Similar to all other episodes in Black Mirror, this episode takes the impact of technology on humans to a totally different level. Humans are growing more and more sadistic, because we have the square box, maybe the television or the laptop that fulfills all our fantasies. Robert as well, rather than dealing with real life situations and making things better with his peer and coworkers, couldn't care less for their rude attitudes because he was taking his revenge with them in the virtual world. Some things did seem off like the clones being able to see their reallife counterparts and not having genitals; loved the line where Nanette says it is a software code and there can't be any without excepptions or bugs.Howsoever, we advance in technology we shall always remain slaves to the idea that it needs to work exactly the way we want it to.

Like everyone has been saying in comments already, this episode has serious flaws:1) You can't copy a memory from DNA. They could have explained it by lets say having a backup of the memories (as they do on other episodes) with their head implants, but there's no way you can just access others memories and create copy of them.2) If you have Godly powers, you wouldn't act slow in case of disobedience and potentially having people to destroy themselves to stop your amusement. You could just exit the game and reappear on the spaceship, right? Or pause the game and do whatever, you're supposed to be admin. Even in WoW you have admins with commands to immediately appear next to other player (ie. I've reported several people from using bots to farm areas) and I can see them appear right in front of that guy and remove him from game.3) Even if for some reason the system freezes and even the computer runs into some glitch, wouldn't there be at least some backup for the chip to automatically turn off? Maybe a forced exit after 2 hours and asking whether you want to continue playing? Seems like a big security issue for a game or the operating system.4) The update black hole was just nonsense plot point. And escaping through it should have been skipped entirely and focused more on calling the police to shut down the PC put a stop to their mistreatment.5) Why wouldn't you have crewmembers with "real" guns? You're admin. You can make your character invurnerable to shots. Even if you were shot and could be damaged, nothing stops you from respawning again? This wasn't clearly thought out as a rule.This episode has nearly unlimited potential of showing the true terrors of what an admin could do to enslave and humiliate the human AI clones, but it for some reason was dressed up as hopeful escape from a monster... maybe they couldn't find other ways to end episode? Does it have to have an ending?In the episode about Hot Shot, there was no happy ending, there was no change in the system. The guy who got out from the system and got a nice new home to live in still was saddened by his own betrayal of what he stood for. That episode was a masterpiece. This episode... why did it have to end this way???If you want to make "kinda" happy ending then at least try to have the plot being coherent with reality. Why not just let them end their lives?Also missed opportunity to have the admin update version of the game to actually have genitalia for the newly added woman crew member that he clearly felt some attraction throughout the episode. Like this guy clearly hasn't had sex for a long time and surely you'd be at least a bit horny for the opportunity at least for the fake world with no consequences?This episode could have been way darker... like WAYYY DARKER than it originally was intended.
