    Beautiful

    Hang the DJ is a wonderful slice of Black Mirror. There are times when the series moves away from dark nihilism and embraces all that is good about being human. This is one such tale.

    The main protagonists of this gorgeous production are played by Georgina Campbell and Joe Cole. Both are extremely likeable (actually, I think I started to fall in love with Campbell's character) and this is what makes this instalment just so special.

    Highly recommended, I love it when Charlie Brooker reveals his soft side.

    10 out of 10.

    A Beautiful, hopeful dystopia

    Yeah i'm not going to spoil anything. You dont deserve that. Just know that this is probably the funniest, most heartwarming Black Mirror episode to date. Its also one of the best love stories i've seen in recent years. So what are you waiting for?

    Dont check the time, just watch it now!

    First time I've ever reviewed anything

    Just wanted to say, it was beautiful. Made me weep at the end.
    10ranchi

    I cried. I laughed. I gasped. I loved (it)!

    I'm not even going to review the episode as I am still shocked -in the most beautiful way imaginable- about it. I guess I will edit this in a few hours when I've calmed down, because what an hour of television. I am so happy we get to have at least one hopeful, heartwarming and touching approach to how techonology can help us. There's many things I'd like to point out about the episode, but I want this review to be spoiler-free, so I'll just wrap it up with one last thought.

    I've read people say this is S4's San Junipero, but I think each one of them is its very own thing and should not be compared but understood as two different ways technology could give us a hand improving what's at the very core of human relationships: love.

    EDIT: I was going to edit it like I said I was going to do but I love my genuine reaction so I'm not going to change a word I said.

    An episode that makes you want to thank the authors

    Rarely you like a film so much, you want to reach for the creators and say "thank you". This is one of those rare moments. This episode made me choked up, made me laugh, intrigued and gave hope... A beautiful piece of television! I checked, and this is correct - the best episode of Black Mirror up to date, based on rating.

    Thank you!
