Before “Succession,” Jesse Armstrong had offered himself the luxury of signing the script for the only episode of “Black Mirror” where the name of Charlie Booker does not appear as co-screenwriter.

The conclusion of the episode is a gem.

Why and by whom were they created? The answer to these questions will prove particularly deadly.
