The greatest movie ever made..!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Hang the DJ makes me realize that the writers have totally run out of ideas. What we have seen from season 4 so far are recycled, rehashed ideas from all the previous episodes. This episode, is obviously a rehashed version of San Junipero. I think this episode could be a lot more interesting if it didn't end with it being a simulation in a dating app. We've seen something similar on USS Callister, Playtest, San Junipero, and White Christmas, it has lost its magic. There are tons of other things you could write about technology gone wrong, no need to rehash old ideas. And why can't they make an episode like 'Fifteen Million Merits' anymore? Why does everything have to end with the whole thing being a simulation in an app or a video game or a software now? Either that, or they use the same old idea of projecting memory/sight into video/pictures. It's getting old. The high rating most likely come from the younger viewers, it has 2 likable main characters and a sweet, predictable love story, young people easily relate to that just like how they relate to Twilight.

First of all, this was a great concept for a Black Mirror episode, although the show had touched upon dating and relationship stuff before in various ways, this episode brings new ideas to the table and develops them very well in a way that is fun to watch.I believe it still isn't on par with the best of Black Mirror however, mainly because of the predictable ending with the weird Big Brother knows best message and feel to it that seems sort of contradictory to the classic Black Mirror stuff (we are just left to accept that there are no ulterior motives of the makers of this perfect compatibility testing simulation, there are no extra factors in play, there are no actual mistakes made by this dating system) but also due to the fact that the way it is revealed to us that the main couple is in a simulation was kinda obvious, there wasn't really that much clever foreshadowing or subtlety to it, a bit disappointing.I just suspected a bit more would be in play near the end than "In the future we will be able to simulate relationships in advance and have a perfect idea of compatibility before even meeting" and I was left saying "Oh, that's it?"

As a love story, I think this one works because the principal characters resolved in the end to be with each other, but I think anyone watching should be troubled by the inherent finality offered by a technology that seems to be accepted as unerring and inviolate. The episode speaks to how much faith younger generations place in 'others' to do the thinking for them so that they don't have to make decisions. We see this present day in the mindless desire to put government in charge of curing all ills, when it really falls to informed individuals to make the right decisions for themselves. There's some inconsistency in the writing as the story plays out. For example, with all the security personnel in place to insure 'couples compliance', why is 'The Wall' designed to have a ladder that allows people to go over it? I can't think of reason for that that would make sense; maybe we weren't supposed to think about it. It also bothered me that Amy (Georgina Campbell) and Frank (Joe Cole) engaged in sexual relationships with their programmed hook-ups when they had no desire for them. OK, I get it, but the whole point was for them to understand their true feelings for each other. I'm actually surprised there was no opt-out provision on those programmed monitors that would allow incompatible couples to break off the timed arrangement sooner. You could require the couples to tap at the same time like they did to find out how long their courtship would last. Simple enough I would think.One might think that my comments suggest I didn't care for the episode. It was okay as far as it goes, but I'm not going to get starry eyed about the whole thing like I see in a lot of the reviews here for it. The whole concept of having things done for you as if you didn't have a mind of your own is really what bothers me about the story. There's always that little bit of something that a technology can't translate properly for it's intended user. If it could, we wouldn't have hundreds of different dating websites.

Love story, we get it. But this episode has nothing to do with Black mirror. AT ALL.Thought Crocodile is the worst till I have seen this.
