Review of White Bear

Black Mirror: White Bear (2013)
Season 2, Episode 2
3/10
A bad episode that got worse after the reveal
23 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Erasing someone's memory is effectively killing that person... so, the punishment is done. This is sadism for the sake of sadism.

Humans would know this is not punishment after she no longer recalls what her convicted offence is. I don't know how you could sell the people on this, unless they had a reduced comprehension of reality and flaky morals. Thus this cannot be made believable as a comparison to our version of Earth.

Also, the flashbacks were annoying... and I just wanted the protagonist to shut the hell up. I get she's afraid, but it is just excessive for an entertainment piece.

A flop of an episode... the premise is just too flimsy. I don't get these high ratings. It is a bad episode. Even worse than the Pig F****r episode.

3 out of 10.
