I guess everyone complaining about the lack of sci-fi and 'Black Mirror' element missed the fact that this literally happens with people's stories being exploited for streaming documentaries every day, and it's only getting worse as technology continues to ensure everything is recorded for 'posterity'. Powerful episode.
God, I am so fucking sick of the horror take on 'beauty = confidence' and the 'She's All That' trope. Especially with this one episode actually having decent source material in the web comic. The adaptation is shameful. Where is the deeply ingrained body dysmorphia, where is the body horror, where is the feeling of misplaced identity? Awful.
This was so flipping dumb. Why the heck, out of all the shit this crooked cop did, are we supposed to feel bad that he killed a child kidnapper/possibly torturer? Maybe focus on literally anything else he did to an innocent person instead of someone who deserved it. Also, some of the plot holes...holy cow. Terrible premise, terrible execution, super disappointing.
