Nice surprise of a happy episode of Black Mirror, so much so that I just registered an account with IMDB to write this review! Love Black Mirror, and the actors chemistry worked! Wish we could've seen what happened next, but I get why we didn't.

This episode, be it very different to the majority of the series, has left the longest impact on myself. It is dark, upsetting and misleading, all whilst being able to provide the viewer with a feeling of happiness and joy after the final scene.If you do not find yourself rooting for both of the protagonists, then something is wrong, as they are both very likeable characters who play off of one another extremely well and allow for one of the best episodes of Black Mirror.Top marks.

Hang the DJ is such an amazing love story. Perfection. Tears of Joy

The fourth season of Black Mirror has mostly been a mixed bag that tends towards disappointment; the last couple of episodes in particular were overly simple or overly bleak (in that order). Hang the DJ is one of the episodes that everyone seemed to rate, and that is how I found it too. The plot sees a walled city where people use dating technology to go through a series of relationships on their way to getting their perfect match. More or less like we try to do in real life, but in this episode each relationship is given a defined period of time, is then ended, and the data used for the later matches.This device mocks the Tinder generation in a way that is realistic but also exaggerated for sci-fi effect, but what the episode does well is produce an engaging relationship at the core of the story. Amy and Frank are delivered with good chemistry, and in particular Campbell does well to contrast her time with Frank with the pointlessness of the casual sex relationships. This builds well, and I did get tied up with the idea and the specifics of the characters. The ending is pretty good, even if it has a bit too much of a feel of simple tidiness (the type of ending that makes you go "oh, right" as opposed to being twisted by it). That said it is a positive and cleverly written episode and while it doesn't compete with the best Black Mirror episodes, it is easily the best one of this season so far.
