It follows Amy ( Georgina Campbell) and Frank ( Joe Cole), who are matched into relationships for fixed lengths of time by an algorithm that eventually determines their life-long partner. The episode was inspired by the streaming service Spotify, as Brooker considered a system which gives people "playlists" of relationships. The production designer Joel Collins's visit to an expensive holiday area became the basis for the setting, while the simulation ending and app display had to be simplified and reworked to avoid audience confusion. Critics drew parallels between the episode and online dating through apps such as Tinder, and made comparisons to the series three episode " San Junipero", among ot ...
