"Black Mirror" has had many great episodes, but this is my favorite by far.
In this episode, people have implants called "grains", which they use to go through their memories. Liam (Toby Kebbel) starts to spiral into madness when he starts to suspect that his wife hasn't been faithful.
Kebbel's performance is great, and you can really buy him as a concerned and loving husband who feels betrayed.
Also, the ending is so heartbreakingly ambiguous. It is revealed that Liam's wife had slept with another man, and that her child wasn't even with Liam. The end credits shows Liam taking a razor and trying to cut the "grain" out of his head. As this happens, he sees all the memories of his wife. The screen cuts to black before we find out whether or not Liam survived.
This is possibly the best episode of the entire season.
