History Recap / BlackMirrorTheEntireHistoryOfYou

* AmbiguousSituation: The episode ends with some unanswered question:

* AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder: Liam calls Ffion out for seeking comfort in Jonas' arms only four days after they (temporarily) split.

* OtherStockPhrases: Liam wife's assertive "That's not what it looks like." when they watch the video of her and Jonas together in the bedroom.

* ProperlyParanoid: As much of a jerk Liam is, his wife ''[[JerkassHasAPoint was]]'' [[JerkassHasAPoint cheating on him]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Liam after he wakes up in the car and reviews the footage of him mistreating Jonas.

* AmoralAttorney: At the very beginning of the episode, the main character has an appraisal for his job at a law firm. The appraisal panel mention a new initiative to allow adults to retroactively sue their parents for not paying enough attention to them as children/infants using the 'Grain' technology (lifetime memory recorder) to elicit evidence. The main character briefly questions the ethics of this.

* CrazyJealousGuy: Liam, up to eleven. He turns out to be right, though.

TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, the advancement of technology has created the Grain, an implant that allows the user to rewind and re-enact all past memories. One such user is Liam, a paranoid fellow who uses the Grain to obsess over tiny details in his life. Liam is struggling to repair his crumbling marriage with his wife Ffion, especially after the birth of their child and him briefly leaving her. However, everything starts to fall apart more when Liam becomes suspicious of Ffion's relationship with her former friend Jonas (Tom Cullen).

It stars Creator/TobyKebbell as Liam, Creator/JodieWhittaker as Ffion and Creator/TomCullen as Jonas.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: A very interesting and complex example which goes zigzags between playing it straight and subverting it, particularly depending on how you view the characters. At one point, Liam and Ffion have sex, but also use their grains to flashback to previous sexual encounters. So the scene cuts between a rather vigorous bout of love-matching from presumably early on in their relationship which directly contrasts with the joyless and mechanical humping they're engaging in at the present. This naturally reflects how their relationship has soured from initial happiness and excitement to being consumed by distance, bitterness and mistrust. And to make matters even more interesting, there are also some hints that the memory that Ffion is flashing back to doesn't necessarily involve Liam...

That suspicion is not helped at all by having a tool that allows him to re-wind and obsess over every tiny detail.

* FantasticRacism: This appears to be a bit of a thing towards people who don't have implants, judging from how one of the party guests reacts to another who reveals that she had her implant forcibly removed. Later, this same woman also has trouble getting help from the police because, since she doesn't have an implant, there's no evidence they can use to support her claims.

* {{Cuckold}}: Implied to be the case, and Liam at least suspects it. There's a chance that Jodie is Jonas's daughter because Ffion had an affair with Jonas while she and Liam were on the outs while trying for a baby.

Set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, the advancement of technology means every memory a person has is stored digitally and can be watched and re-watched. Naturally, [[FinaglesLaw this is not necessarily a good thing when you're paranoid.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFCqK81s7Y Trailer here.]]

* DrowningMySorrows: Happens around halfway through the episode.

* TheGlomp: Much to Liam's surprise, he gets to do his own as a joke later too.

It stars Creator/JodieWhittaker as Ffion, Creator/TomCullen as Jonas, and Creator/TobyKebbell as Liam.

** In the final scene, [[spoiler:before ripping out his grain, Liam rewatches memories of his wife and daughter while walking through his empty house.]]

* YourCheatingHeart: Turns out Ffion did sleep with Jonas when she and Liam fell out for a week, and Jonas might be the father of her child.

* GrayAndGrayMorality: On the one hand, Liam becomes quite frightening and vicious, bordering almost on being a DomesticAbuser, but it doesn't absolve Ffion of her own sin in this.

It stars Creator/JodieWhittaker as Ffion, [[Series/DowntonAbbey Tom]] [[Series/{{Gunpowder}} Cullen]] as Jonas, and Creator/TobyKebbell as Liam.

* NoEnding: The ending, while giving a satisfying close, still leaves a great deal hanging and ends rather abruptly. Ffion has left and taken their daughter, and the episode ends right as Liam removes his grain implant; what happens to the characters is then left entirely to speculation.
