I like the theme of racial profiling mixed in with the magic camcorder a lot! The fear of feeling hunted from the get go. The ability to rewind the whole situation.
I kept thinking there was something we don't know about as the viewer. Maybe the cop knew some detail about the car they were driving. However, this was not the case. Even after the nice conversation with the mother, and getting treated pie.. this cop still insists on shooting a black person like a terminator robot on a set mission. Once the characters get this personal with each other, the story does not work anymore. This is not racial profiling anymore to me, but pure 100 percent racism. And not just him but all the other cops showing up in the end backing him up. The writing got lazy, and one dimensional here. Plus with the magic camcorder you could let your imagination run wild! Very flawed episode in my opinion. The story could be more subtle to be believable. It also did not feel so Twilight Zoney to me compared to the first 2 episodes. The acting was really good though. The mother stands out! The whole episode is shot well, so I am giving it a 5 out of 10.
