Rhashan Stone, who plays Jeff in The Entire History of You, calls Season 1's finale "Black Mirror before it was Black Mirror."
He has a point: it's the first episode to feature a cranial implant and future tech that undoes a pair of lives.
It's the only episode written by Peep Show co-creator Jesse Armstrong, and he brings the point-of-view camera technique over to this episode of Black Mirror with him.
Jeff is the first character to show the audience just how deep into a past experience the characters can go, with recollections that they can (but probably shouldn't) revisit any time:
"This is a 5-star suite! I paid good money to have perfect details! Now? I've got that sh***y carpet. For the rest of my life."
Little do any of them realise just how far Liam (Toby Kebbell) will fall down the rabbit hole of memory.
