Black mirror seas 4 ep 2

I am not going to talk a lot about this one because it actually made me cry, I hated it. This episode is about this mother who installs this device in her 3 year old daughter to monitor her every movement and see everything she sees. She blocks her vision from things that stress her which resulted in her being a really sheltered child. Soon she grows up to be 15 and her mom sees her having sex with someone and doing drugs and behind her back she tells the dude to break up with her or she’ll leak the video of them having sex. At the end of the episodes we find out the mom kills her baby before it was even developed and the girl gets mad and hits her with the device she used watch her for years and knocks her out. She then runs away and the mom is left crying and trying to get her back. I absolutely hated this episode because maybe it resembled part of my life but I’m not sure. I just don’t recommend the watch. Watch it at your own risk.
