This episode in my opinion has been one of the best ones I've seen so far. Recalling events of two guilty men as they spend Christmas together. The stories have plenty of twists and turns keeping you as the audience on the edge of your seat even after the show as ended.
The ways they achieve this is by having the two men alone in the room talking without any outside interference locking the audience purely in their conversation. When retelling their story it isn't cut up with random intervals but waits until a natural break in the story so both characters can give their feedback to each other.
A big thing I enjoyed about this was the POV perspective, like I said in the hardcore Henry I don't thing it's been done to the best it can be, but unlike that film this does it really well by not moving the characters head fast/ using any motion at all. It's really used to show the important details of the story, such as a woman who would later kill a person, or through the eyes of a character to show his connection to his daughter. It really feels like a new operating system for the eyes with every time that they show the menu it looks sleek and smart something akin to new phone menus thus adding a sense of realism.
It also has a sense of emptiness with the a character's brain chip entering a white egg cell with a vast white room. All of her shots are wide shots but due to her being the only thing of colour in the entire place it then makes it feel like she's the only thing in the cell - i.e her world.
Another thing I enjoyed was the portrayal of the blocking feature, making the character appear as a big grey blob making them terrifying that's intrusive to the world making them feel alien and not having a place to belong in that character's world.
