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

pallanck OK, a disclaimer first: I had to google this episode before I really grasped the ending, and to a large extent, I enjoyed it much better the second time I watched it. What did I like so much about this episode? Everything! The story, the direction, the actors, the symbolism-there was nothing to not love about this episode. I suppose what I liked most about it was that the main characters really conveyed what it feels like to be in love with someone. The main characters really pulled that off well, and they were both really likable in their roles. But the story was fantastic, the concept was really cool, and the humanity expressed in this movie was beautiful. Honestly, the best thing I've seen in years. It just has the feeling of masterpiece about it-clearly great thought went into every aspect of this episode. I want to see more from all involved in making this episode!

bastienfrancois A great episode. But it would have earned a 10/10 if it were a separate movie, or part of another series. Watch out for spoilers, because I am going to pitch what I think would have been the right Black Mirror way to end the episode on:We see two people fall in love together to an extent where they want to overthrow the system and community they live in, just to escape and live happily ever after together. In the end we see that this behavior is in some way 'rewarded' as it contributes to a dating app match score, and we see the real life versions meeting each other for the first time in a club. They smile at each other instantly, and one can only assume that they will end up together. What are my problems with this? It is a happy ending that does not confront the viewer. What if the episodes plays out as it did, but the two characters do not see many versions of themselves out of the dome and it turns out that only a handful of them rebelled to the system, because the others decided to run from outside the dome after meeting their 'true partner'. This would result in a low match score, and we would have seen the real life versions turn their backs to each other, while we just witnessed an incredibly happy ending between the same two individuals in the digital environment. Why is this better in my opinion? Because this is what Black Mirror used to be. This ending would have given me a reason to discuss the accuracy of algorithms and custom AI processes in personal profiling with friends, family and everyone else who watched this. Because Black Mirror did not do that, everyone just watches this episode. Everyone will smile in awe, and everyone will just keep on binging the rest of the season because they were not confronted with a black mirror. When there is a match, there are, as we have seen in this episode, many possible other partners that we pass by, which may have been the truer one.

bilmoo It's funny, it's heartwarming, and it's real. Well, as real as Black Mirror gets.The storyline is essentially that two people are experiencing eHarmony on steroids and the system pairs them up with each other and other people to figure out who is the best match for them. Very cool concept and the characters are ultra-believable.
