Their scenes have this awkward energy, which in contrast to the other, unsatisfying relationships they're made to have. Georgina Campbell and Joe Cole blossom in their roles, with a real spark between their two characters that make their relationship onscreen totally work. Having sex with all these people you don't know and have no emotional connection to takes everything out of it, making it exactly the opposite of what it should be.

Hang the DJ has a more depressing commentary on the current dating scene, showing how the instant availability of men and women using dating apps strips love of anything but sex.

#Hang the dj black mirror wiki series
For a series that is usually so gloomy about humanity's future, that's a beacon of hope. They haven't even met, yet they know they will have a wonderful life together. That terrific final scene, when Frank and Amy look at each other, conveys so much in a single moment. For two people to rebel against a system that stops them from being together is the truest sign that they are a match. It was supposed to annoy, to encourage people to rebel. The forced trials with different types of people was never intended to get to know people's preferences. The whole point of the system is that it wasn't supposed to work as it told you. That technology is no substitute for real relationships? That no attempt to control human behaviours such as love will work? Or that this technology actually DOES work (because it does)? The final twist made everything clear in the most wonderful, heartwarming way. The concept is genius, although the whole way through the episode I was puzzled, trying to work out what I was supposed to think. And importantly, it feels like the most 'Black Mirror' Black Mirror episode so far in the season, with its wildly creative way of exploring the effects of future tech in a humorous way whilst providing social commentary. Whereas most Black Mirror shows how technology can bring out the worst in human behaviour, Hang the DJ puts a sweet, optimistic spin on the future of dating. Never would I have guessed that my favourite Black Mirror episode would be a romcom.
