The Entire History of You

In "The Entire History of You," lawyer Liam Foxwell undergoes a performance appraisal and becomes fixated on re-watching the recorded memories from his "grain," an implant that records his experiences. At a dinner party with his wife Ffion and friends, he becomes suspicious of Ffion's interactions with a man named Jonas, whom she claims was a brief paramour from Marrakesh. Liam's obsession with uncovering the truth leads to heated confrontations and revelations about Ffion's past relationships.

After inviting Jonas to their home and witnessing memories that contradict Ffion's claims, Liam becomes increasingly agitated. Under the influence of alcohol, he confronts Jonas, leading to a physical altercation and a car crash. Liam's suspicions grow stronger as he replays his memories and uncovers evidence of Ffion's infidelity.

"The Entire History of You" underscores the potential dangers of surveillance and the erosion of privacy in a hyper-connected world. In this society, personal moments are not only vulnerable to scrutiny by partners but can also be shared and scrutinized by others; the episode highlights the profound impact such constant surveillance can have on mental health, as characters become entangled in a web of suspicion, anxiety, and obsession.
