Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen the camera goes inside Madeline's apartment, a train can be viewed passing outside. This same train passes outside every time the episode goes to her Apartment.
This shows that everything out of the windows of her apartment is superimposed by Green Screen and is merely the same scene being played on a loop, hence the train appearing in the same place despite being in different times in the episode.

Featured review
Television presenter Douglas Bellowes is caught making a sexist joke at wedding, an onlooker hears it, and posts it on Twitter, his co presenter Madeline reposts the tweet, which then goes viral.
Very Moffat, you can definitely see his hand in this, and not just the casting. As I've read elsewhere, I truly wanted to live this, so many wonderful elements, a talented writer, a phenomenal (Doctor Who) cast, and an interesting look at where we are, the whole be kind culture, which savages a tone that steps out of line.
I didn't mind it, I couldn't quite get into it, ultimately I was a little disappointed, definitely too slow.
Douglas's daughter Claudia, why aren't people like her cancelled, the generation that cancels people, the irony.
Moffat takes a big swing at cancel culture, and of course it's a straight white man who's cancelled, there are still people in the media who have gotten away with a lot.
It does serve as a reminder that humour is dead.
6/10.
