Storyline
In the post-apocalyptic landscape of the Scottish Moors, a woman attempts to survive the land full of "dogs".
Trivia
The pigs and equality speech, at the start, is a reference to Orwell's Animal Farm.
The soundtrack of this episode uses excerpts from Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, by Krzysztof Penderecki.
This is the shortest episode of Black Mirror to date at just 38 minutes long.
In the beginning, when the young man try to hack the car, his device displays command lines including "\bm\04\callister\60s.custom.drivers" and "\bm04\mianolan\architecture.sys" which refer to episodes one and three of the fourth Black Mirror season (and obviously this episode number).
The third command line is "\bm04\reddit\easter.egg.sys".
At 25:12 when Bella is searching through a drawer a postcard from San Junipero(S3.4) is visible laying on the desk.
The filming in black and white could also be a callback to shows like The Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents.. which also tolds stories in a anthology format.
