In a desolate landscape, Bella ( Maxine Peake), Anthony (Clint Dyer), and Clarke (Jake Davies) drive to a warehouse searching for something to help ease the pain of Jack, who is dying. The plot and short running time have received mixed reviews, while Peake's acting and Slade's directing have been praised, along with the cinematography and the design of the dogs. The episode's message has been widely debated, with reviewers discussing questions about artificial intelligence and the final shot of a box of teddy bears. It has been compared to The Terminator, as both works feature machines chasing humans. The episode has a simple plot and received mostly positive reviews. The running time of 41 minutes makes "Metalhead" the shortest Black Mirror episode. Filming took place in England, with Lidar scans used for scenes from the dog's perspective. The dogs were influenced by Boston Dynamics' robots such as BigDog. "Metalhead" is filmed entirely in black and white, and follows the plight of Bella ( Maxine Peake) trying to flee from robotic "dogs" after the unexplained collapse of human society.
