We live more online than in real life and we don't know how to deal with death. Intimate and definitely the most thematically relevant episode yet, which could have been the best if it hadn't run out of breath in the final minutes. Anyway, the motion sensitive images of dead people from Harry Potter are very disturbing.

People are not just snippets of what they put on the internet. This is a disturbing twist, but subliminally it is a metaphor for the uselessness of men in today's emasculated society.

A pleasantly short story with a great idea. It's sci-fi, it's this close to reality, it's a strong drama with believable emotions, it's well acted and it has a great punchline. I couldn't have asked for more.

The first episode of the second season reminded me of a short story entitled "Monkey's Paw", in which a mother wishes for the return of her dead son. I was just about to cancel my Facebook account, which I’m sure wouldn't take more than half a year, but then I realized I didn't have one. Oh well, there goes my only chance of reincarnation.
