Not very upbeat actually. The episode drops several reminders that the simulated people can't die, by accident or choice. After they tire of life, they are trapped in an eternity of boredom and madness.

There's explicitly a conversation of "fine, not forever then - however long you like. You can always choose to leave."
I guess it wouldn't be black mirror without some technophobia. But it seems like I didn't imagine it [1]:
> The episode received critical acclaim, with particular praise for Mbatha-Raw's and Davis's performances, its plot twist, its visual style, and its uplifting tone, which is atypical for the series.
