Made an educated guess at the start and was (sort. Of) correct, I'm sure you'll probably make the same assumption.....
Paul Giamatti is class, I'll watch anything with him in. I purposely stayed away from anything with spoilers about the new series so this came as a complete, but pleasent shock.
And obviously he was amazing in this, but it's another slow burner, but really good premise and amazing writing.
. .
. Another emotional one, especially if you've been through some of the things that are covered in the episode, but it's all worth it in the end, so stick with it.
Another 8/10 episode.

Paul Giamatti. I need not say more, but will anyways. Each season 7 episode has been so profound, that the science fiction aspect merely feels like it is in the room, but not in the spotlight. I am a huge lover of this genre, but I found these episodes to be even more than the genre itself. The concept of this episode was simple enough, and it wasn't so far fetched as Black Mirror can be. But somehow it impressed me beyond any other episode. Was it Giamatti? Was it the premise? I think both, but mostly the actor. He wonderfully portrayed the human element of love, regret, grief, and pain. What it is to live and to love. The end scene captured those complex feelings of being human. Wow. The words escaped my lips as I watched Giamatti emote on the screen. What a wonderful portrayal.
Eulogy is about a lonely, isolated man who is tasked with confronting his past with a girlfriend who he considered to be his love of his life. With a relatively simple concept, Eulogy explores themes of love and heartbreak beautifully in a meditative look at the past.
Paul Giamatti gives one of his greatest performances ever in Eulogy. Paul Giamatti's excellent performance contributes to make an already incredible episode of Black Mirror to one of the best that television can offer.
The story begins with hate and resentments but builds to bittersweet, meaningful end. The absolute gut-punch of an ending helps cement Eulogy as one the most well written episodes in the history of television.
Truly an exception hour of television.

I just cant even. I dont know where to begin with this episode. I dont know where it was going to go, maybe im not very smart or good at predicting things.
But wouw. I want to show this to everyone humanly possible. It was so hauntingly brilliant - and Paul Giamatti is just on another level once more. I really dont want to spoil anything for anyone, please just see it.
I think we all had something along these lines. A relationship that broke off, maybe not in the best of ways. Some regret, lingering hurt.
I know I experienced those things. What did I miss in my own blind self pity? That is the question I will ask myself after watching this. What was my part in the break?

First review I've ever written here, so sorry if it's not as polished as others!
With a simple idea, but just the right amount of drama, the episode explores the passage of time and love, all within that unmistakable Black Mirror atmosphere. And my god, it really worked for me.
Paul Giamatti leads the episode with a performance that's both powerful and sensitive. The lighting is flawless, and the cinematography doesn't disappoint. The script isn't anything revolutionary, and the tech concept isn't overly complex, but the way the story unfolded-combined with the soundtrack-really got to me.
It's not the best Black Mirror episode of all time, but it's definitely the best one I've seen in years.
