History YMMV / BlackMirrorNosedive

** Lacie is plain unlikeable during the events that lead to her epiphany. Most of the problems that caused her rating to go down were either caused by her or made worse by her actions. FromACertainPointOfView, the rating system is not bad in and of itself - "That's how society works", and this particular person just made a string of horribly bad decisions, most of which were her own fault.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEJ95bXxW-I "The Journey, Not the Destination"]] is a thrilling piece of music that describes [[spoiler:Lacie's determination to get into Naomi's wedding no matter what]]. The [[HellIsThatNoise 'rating down' sound effects]] enhances the song as well.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Lacie comes off like this for some viewers, seeing as most of her problems during the HumiliationConga she only made worse and her behaviour at the wedding would not be acceptable in '''our''' society either.

*** Does Lacie genuinely and delusionally believe that crashing Naomi's wedding will bring her back from the brink, or does she intend it more as a TakingYouWithMe to embarrass Naomi on her wedding day? Her SanitySlippage could be an act to cause as much of a fuss as possible so everyone will only ever remember Naomi's wedding for it.

* HoYay: When Paul finishes his speech at the wedding, he immediately goes over to his best man, Anthony, and gives him a very intimate-looking frat-boy chest bump, with their eyes locked to each other's. Not once in this sequence does he look at his gorgeous new wife Naomi, and the look on her face says it all. This heavily implies that the union is purely a MarriageOfConvenience for the sake of higher ratings and the two don't actually love each other.
* JerkassWoobie: Lacie might be pretty unlikeable in the lead-up to her epiphany, but she still didn't deserve to [[spoiler:get thrown in ''prison'' for it]]. Not only that, but she's now separated from her brother Ryan who was probably the one person who truly cared about her.
* LesYay: Lacie's last words in her wedding-crasher speech are [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove "I love you, Naomi! I've always loved you!"]]. It's unclear if it was an intentional revelation (considering that the episode has a theme of social stigma and dishonesty) that came at the worst possible moment, [[PsychoLesbian making her look unhinged and vengeful]], or just a questionable choice of dialogue. Her comment a moment before about boys never working out for her makes it more confusing (though that too can be explained via Lacie's chronic insecurity).
** In the same episode, we have Paul and his best man, who are awfully close. Sometimes literally. Naomi even frowned slightly at the sight of Paul and his best man docking their chests in front of her.

** Lacie's brother Ryan. Despite being a slacker he's one of the more sane characters along with Susan. He really doesn't like the ratings system and genuinely misses having a sister who didn't care about ratings. He's also well aware that Naomi is far from a friend that Lacie claims she is and truly wishes that Lacie would just forget about her. In response to this, Lacie, his own sister, downvotes him and by the end of the episode he's unaware that his sister is now in jail.

* BelligerentSexualTension: In the last scene, the shouting match between Lacie and [[spoiler: the other guy in jail]] seems oddly flirtatious despite its content.

** Apparently the real life Chinese government is toying with plans to implement a "social credit" system plan for their people. Trials began in May 2018 and it should be fully implemented by 2020.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: The bright pastel colours and the general aesthetics of middle/high society definitely feel very sweet and wholesome. It only adds to the CrapsaccharineWorld nature of this place.
