I feel this black mirror episode depicts maturity which comes when you're facing tough time in life to identify who your real friends are. I lost all the "friends" who i was genuinely nice to but they didn't care/love me as much as i loved them (like beth loved Naomi).As soon i dropped running after them, they were out of my life, they were never really my friends, just people trying to have social conduct & good times.

[@reannakwan8773]

The emergency escape hatch is a reference to the red pill blue pill from The Matrix, so when Lacie said 'I have never seen your stupid fucking show' it shows how she's done with everything, and by drinking the red thermos it shows that she finally sees reality for what it is I reference my above explanation to a video called 'Ending of Nosedive explained' it's a good analysis of the episode y'all should watch it

So does she stay in jail for life or does she get released at some point? I know her being in that jail cell was where it ended, but I wonder what was supposed to happen after she discovered freedom while locked up. If she's locked in that jail cell for life, she at least can say whatever she wants, but also can go nowhere.

[@zurzakne-etra7069]

what I don't understand is why a group of people just don't form a pact and give each other 5 star ratings, and then they'd all be in the top tier ratings

[@EMBEEAY]

If we’re talking realistically, there is most likely a security system in place that prevents that from happening.

[@diemistress]

It only counts if "quality" people (4.5 and above) rate you 5 stars. The ranking coach explains to Lacie that she exchanges 5 stars with low-range folks- employees, service people- and that she needed high votes from the Prime users to increase her ranking.

I just got done watching an older (2010) romcom called "She's Out Of My League" which is about a guy who doesn't think he's good enough for this girl, played by Alive Eve, and I knew I recognised her from somewhere. What's funny is that in the movie, her character doesn't care about assigning ratings to people ("she's a 10, she'd never go for anyone less than a 8, ew he's only a 6" etc etc) and then goes on to play a character in BM who's obsessed with rating people.
