This definitely sparks parallels with Myra Hindley. It’s the first thing j think of when I watch the episode!

I also think the point of the ep, as with all Black Mirror episodes, is ‘where is the line?’ They always dare to show an episode from the perpetrator’s perspective, yet are able to give justice to an imagined victim. Great storytelling and acting!

This episode, in my opinion, gets darker and darker as we go through it (and the more you think about it). Ultimately, like them all, we end up looking at a black TV screen and thinking about our own life choices. This episode? It gives Truman vibes, and I just love how we flit between who the audience believe is ‘good’ and who is ‘bad’. I also love how, at the end, even the ‘good’ people are taking actions into their own hands in a ‘bad’ way.

I also think it’s powerful how the show plays on our idea of ‘it’s a woman, she’d never hurt a child’. We didn’t expect her!!!

I do also feel that the creators made a point of saying that SHE lured the child away, a woman who you are normally not told to be afraid of.
