Striking Vipers:
Season 5 opener.
Starring Anthony Mackie and it was lovely to see Pom Klementieff as an avatar of a video game.
Quite a disturbing piece of reality and fantasy being blur together as a result of two male best friends playing a video game together one as a male avatar and the other as the said female avatar.

Smithereens:
Middle episode of season 5.
Starring Andrew Scott.
Smithereens is a social media site and Scott played Chris a rideshare driver who takes an intern of Smithereens hostage in order to get the attention
of the CEO of Persona which runs Smithereen.
Chris blames Smithereen for the loss of his fiancee who got killed by a drunk driver with Smithereen being a distraction.

This is a compelling piece on the negative effects of social media and I am unfortunately am a victim of those effects.

That ending sure had me guessing.
