Even though this episode of Black Mirror has one of the lowest iMDB ratings, it has (apart from Bandersnatch) one of the highest number of user reviews, nearly 200.

I know some don't like this, but I found this episode gripping. All credit to the location manager for finding a dystopian side to the UK, where this was filmed. The thought of the metal dogs running non-stop was enough to give on pause about technology run amok big time. Anyway, the ending was poignant with the teddy bears. Reminded me of White Bear, the title of an earlier Black Mirror episode.

Maxine Peake was superb as the one on the run.
