Best movie of this year hands down!

A Disappointing Continuation

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Ok so, this story is all about an over protective mother, who since the beggining is shown how scared she is that her little girl gets hurt in anyway , her mother is way too f-up . AND i love it! It's realistic, there are real overprotective parents all around the world and that's ot the kids fault ,its the parents where they invade their childs privacy.the mother doesn't let her daughter make her own mistakes ( cause well thats called evolving amd learning) and ultimately makes her child have issues ( as is shown in the chapter as how she wants to see and taste and touch everything, cause for so long it was denied to her) leading up to a perfect ending, where you can see the value of this episode " if you pull too hard on a leash, it will eventually break"

I'm only giving this episode 2 stars due to how entertaining it was to make fun of. I'll start off with the sheer creepy stalker vibes that the mom radiates. Then you have that same damn dog she passes every day for like 10 years... How old is that damn dog! Along with the fact that she started watching porn with a creepy boy in elementary school, it does not surprise me that she was hooking up with guys in the back of a van at age 15. Overall, black mirror really dropped the ball on this one... plot holes, scattered, slow, and didn't really go anywhere. Started with a good concept, ended poorly.

Definitely not as creative and original as some of the more memorable episodes from previous seasons, but the excessive parental guidance premise is interesting nonetheless and well-developed. The young actress plays a likable main character and the scenes involving teenagers are believable and not cringy.

The idea for the story is interesting. An overprotective mother buys an all knowing surveillance kit for her daughter, making it possible for her to see what the daughter sees through a tablet, and making it possible to blur out everything not suitable for children. As soon as the surveillance kit - called the Arkangel - is installed, you start wondering how this little piece of device will turn everything upside down. Unfortunately, everything turns out exactly how you expect it to. It's the mother's overly protective parenthood and the "little girl's" rebellion against the her. We've seen it times and times before, and it doesn't fit the format of Black Mirror. The acting is fine, but not anything worth noticing. The characters are made very flat and uninteresting. They are all extremely sterotypical - the overprotective mother, the daughter who wants to be free and the 'dangerous' drug selling boyfriend.Overall, the episode is not necessarily bad, it's just not good either. A mediocre episode not on par with some of the other excellent stories from Black Mirror.6.5/10
