2/10
They want us to clap like sheeps too

So , Jordan Peele probably thought that we would applause every episode that has been released, just because of his activism.

Well, he's certainly not holding the cursed coin here.

This episode is about a singer whom obtained a MacGuffin with a Wishmaster-ish twist, that makes everyone applauds her. In this sort of situation, there should be a genuine talent that has been robbed of the opportunity because of this relic, and a comeuppance at the end.

But there is none in this episode. Even the rules of the blessing/curse is inconsistent in this short episode. Couldn't even squeeze in a rumination on the manufactured success of the music industry in the real world. (the Black Mirror humorous teen-romp episode with Miley Cyrus did it much better on that regard)
