Liam, like many people has a Grain, an implant that records everything he sees. He becomes obsessed with the attention that Fi, his wife, is paying to Jonas, another guest at a dinner party they attend. Liam's obsession pushes him to interrogate Fi after they get home that night. He learns that Fi had a fling with Jonas before she and Liam met.
The next day Liam goes to see Jonas and violently forces him to delete all his memories of Fi. When Liam gets home he interrogates Fi some more.
Thoughts
This is dark through and through. There is nothing upbeat about this episode. I guess that there's a message here about some people not being able to deal with the impact that technology has on their lives.
I didn't enjoy this very much. I endured it. I made it to the end. All three of the primary characters are flawed. I didn't find anything interesting or intriguing about this story.
This is the final episode of the first season of Black Mirror. I didn't enjoy or feel like any of these episodes are great. They might be well made but they are so dark and depressing and lacking in insight or nuance. I can't say that I would recommend this show based on these three episodes.
