Something about this story had left me existentially upset. It gives those of us still dating and despairing both the catharsis of recognition, of seeing our most miserable experiences reflected uncannily back to us, and the promise of a better future. For a moment at least, its final flourish gives audiences still stuck in a hellscape hope. Over the past few months, not a day has passed without yet another reminder of how unsafe it is simply to exist in public with men, working and socializing, let alone seeking out sexual or romantic relationships.
It's deft emotional manipulation and stellar acting that sells it. But as with most Black Mirrors , there's more to what's happening here than meets the eye.
