There's so much chemistry between Georgina Campbell (Amy) and Joe Cole (Frank) it cracks the screen.
Definitely my favourite of this season so far!
I really liked this one, might be my favorite so far this season. It's nice to have one episode that ends happy and doesn't rip your heart out.
This episode did such a good job of keeping me wondering what the hell this world was. Some dystopian future where everything is decided by the system?
About the time she became fixated on the skipping stones I was sure it was a simulation (big fan of Person of Interest). Was unsure of the end goal though. A societal conditioning thing? Right before the reveal I was sure it was a relationship test couples go through. Then bam, glorified OK Cupid/Tinder style algorithm. Brilliant.
The two mains had great chemistry and really enjoyed the ride of this episode.
I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry.
So... this episode is the San Junipero of this season?
Brb gonna find a cute guy whom I can sing "I am going to see your dick" to, laugh about it with, and make-out with him aftewards.
Ugh this episode was amazing holy fuck.
ok let me see if i got this right: the couple are meant to rebel against the system? that's how they prove they're a perfect match? pretty lovely and heartwarming episode, that universe does seem pretty unidimensional again, but the couple had chemistry and it was a good watch
Great episode. An interesting story made even better by terrific casting. I was rooting for them all the way.
This episode blow my mind. Wow!
proper Black Mirror episode! reminded of The Lobster
I am a sucker for a happy ending in the Black Mirror universe.
The Smiths tho :D
I'm in love.
One of the best episodes, I liked it.
This one technology I wish it exists, so we don't have to waste our time and break our hearts with idiots!
Gg..what a twist. Very creative and has nothing to do with hanging a DJ lol. Fav epi so far
So far that's the best episode of season 4 for me, but unfortunately that doesn't say much because I really dislike season 4. For some reason it feels like they had different writers - The ideas are okay (though usually feel recycled), but the stories always have so much more potential.
I did like this episode, but I'm not a big fan of the ending to be honest. I interpreted the whole episode as just a simulation that happens inside the app and it calculates your compatibility with other users, but it's just that - A simulation inside an app. None of these events or relationships happened in real life, and Frank and Amy don't even know about them. And that's what threw me off and what I disliked.
FINALLY, this was my favorite episode! Hands down! Don't get the title though, LOL! I want to watch a full-length movie with Amy & Frank! NOW!
20/10 definitly this episode was the best
Nice story. That was an interesting unfolding and ending. Well done.
Did not surprise me that Tim Van Patten showed up in the end credits. Everything he touches turns to gold and this is definitely one of the best episodes of Black Mirror. It doesn't follow the usual conventions in Black Mirror of technology ruining their lives, in fact it's the opposite but they showed at the same time how it could. If the matching system did not turn out to be a simulation it would have but they decided to tie it into real life with the dating app reality Such a solid episode with solid acting, writing, and directing. I also love how The Smiths song gave the ending even more of a potency.
For a show that's so dark and distressing, but sometimes get episodes like this. One of the sweetest stories from this f**ked up anthology series.
A terrible ending to an otherwise great episode.
In the first seconds I was "arg that will be a dating coach thing, boring". It goes a little better than that.
First date is ok, quite classic but the actors are pretty good, you see the chemistry between them, and the awkwardness too. But first hint: aren't they a little old for this to be their first ? Obviously they will meet again.
The second relationship is quite something. Amy's guy is hot, they have great sex, they seem to have fun together at parties and she just can't take the way he sighs ? Well, she'd evidently have a lot of trouble staying with someone without the system. And there's no way she would have been happy staying longer with Frank. Then she goes through 36 hours one, seems the system does learn, she probably wouldn't be able to stand other people for a longer time. Meanwhile Frank is in a living hell where they both hate everything about each other since the first second.
Then they're together again. You just know the "let's not look at the date" is coming, and just as well that one of them will cheat and look. The end date going down was a great twist.
However it's seemed almost obvious that the system was a simulation. When they refuse to look at the date, you wonder how could that possibly work ? You must follow the system so you can't go away or plan any vacation. Unless they're completely blocked inside the walls for years and have no work, no family, nothing. That's when you realize they never ever interact with anybody but their date. Too weird. So when he finally mentions it, I was hoping this would be a distraction and it would be something else. There would be fun stuff to explore on a society that works like this. But then Have you ever had more or less than four ? and that's the definitive tell. Too bad.
That all of it is finally inside a dating app is, like in the previous episode, not really a twist, but just a final joke. Also, it works on rebellion percentage ? They don't even think to try and wait to see if they are each other ultimate one as they're supposed to be paired on the same day ?
I don't really have complaints on the episode in itself, but it just could have been bigger.
Loved it up until the ending. It had so much going for it, and then it kind of hit a wall. This episode may be the poster child for my biggest problem with Black Mirror: I want to learn so much about the lore in these little worlds, and we just get so little. The stories are amazing, but the depth is just lacking. All of these little half-films would truly benefit by being feature-length.
Favourite episode so far. Lot of chemistry between the two main characters.
Funny thing, I was dating a girl for almost a year, then we broke up, we went back together and things didn't work very well. She moved to another city, then I did, not knowing she was there and now we are dating again. Kinda felt like I'm living on this episode. And yes, she dated more than me in the time we were not dating us.
Lovely episode. I wasn't sure about it throughout, but the ending redeemed it all.
Somewhat remiscent of Season 3s San Junipero, a love story with a twist.
A welcome return to form in Season 4 as it has been very hit and miss so far. A love story of sorts, very well done with good performances in the main cast and excellent chemistry with the main protagonists.
It can only be described as Tindr writ large, but is an interesting take none the less. Love Life is pre-destined and because of that is rather unsatisfactory. But I won't spoil it except San Junipero was more satisfying in some ways.
In common with the season it is very well done, and thankfully more like Black Mirror should be.
I absolutely loved this episode.
WAIT... Was that a happy ending???!!!! Good episode, back to what makes the series interesting; it makes you think. This episode should have been the season premier.
Yeah good one, the best episode in season five.
"Hang the DJ" ha ha
The best episode of the season. This episode saved this fourth season.
This episode is what Black Mirror means to me.. This is the one what difference is for me! Otherwise it would be the same all the episodes and seasons I’ve been watching instead of Black Mirror. A very unique subject and that made me excited. The worst part was the recalibrating part ;( Unfortunately, we, humans, are the prisoners of our thoughts and instead of leaving them, we are trying to directing them.. This episode is telling this. “Everyting’s happening for a reason”.
And that ending was...omg! Priceless!!
This was the best episode of the season by far. It really put forward a great "What if...?" while also delivering really good characters for you to connect with. Highlight episode in a fairly mediocre season that could've been much more.
I'm in love with the shape of you.
Thank god this isn't real Lol and we can end things when we want to. Nightmare indeed.. a self dictating tinder
machine learning internal data visualisations be like
7/10
Good episode
But Noway as good
or better than
"San Junipero"
which is a flawless Masterpiece and the
Best episode of the entire show.
The best episode of
season 4 is definitely
The USS Callister
that was perfect pacing
a bloody good story
and so much fun.
Hang the DJ
was a sweet story
with an interesting twist
but not mind blowing
and definitely nothing
we haven't seen before.
I don't need to say
Which episode did
this story better,
To Perfection you
might say.
(Who Knew Heaven
Was A Place On Earth).
Really liked the story and a great soundtrack.
As a sci-fi episode it's OK. Even with the double-bluff the finale of the episode resorts to the usual sci-fli cliche. It's not really clever, not suspensful, nor is it an emotional roller-coaster.
What makes the episode really works is treating it as a drama-comedy: the charming chemistry between the two leads - unlike San Junipero - and how the subject matter of the episode is something that relates to its intended audience. An automated dating system until we find the perfect match. Would we want that? The episode doesn't ask the question, but you can't not ponder that yourself as the credit rolls.
HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ HANG THE DEEJAAAYYY HANG THE DEEJAY HANG THE DEEJAAAYYY HAND THE DJ HANG THE DJ HANG THE DEEJAY.
One of my favourite endings of all time. Can't stop thinking about it.
Thank God, a happy episode.
For a show that's so dark and distressing, but sometimes get episodes like this one. One of the sweetest stories from this f**ked up anthology series.
So much mind blowing and unexpected with great perfomances.8.0/10
I wish this technology exist for real. Favorite episode of this season.
Amazing episode, learning machine in all its glory!
Probably my favourite Black Mirror episode. The main actors' chemistry is just amazing!
Awesome, very heartfelt. Makes me wonder about the two simulations where they did not rebel.
Also, is it me or do all the main couples in Black Mirror have at least one white person? The only couple of color I saw was in Crocodile, and, you know...
Such a fitting song to end this episode.... LOL....
Anyone else reminded of the Cupid and Psyche myth when he couldn’t resist looking at the expiration date, and that cost him the perfect relationship? I liked the chemistry between the actors, and the fact that their real world counterparts were actually a variation on the couple we’d come to know...
This episode is absolutely gorgeous.
Damn, I need to find a girl just like she! She’s funny and amazing!
I liked this one, the casting was spot on, and the script opened up for loads of interpretations of technology and 'free thinking'. Still, it's a quite expected episode. Still, on the whole, it's quite lovely. I wonder if both Morrissey and Marr ok'ed the use of a Smiths track...
Favorite of the season. Even more than "San Junipero", this really depends on the two leads' chemistry since the plotting and world-building are not as sublime as that one, but they sell both roles wonderfully.
Episode's Philip K. Dickian in nature
