‘Hang the DJ’ will be gotten since this season’s ‘San Junipero’, a feel-good episode of black colored Mirror where both the protagonists while the audience have to go homeward delighted. Unlike ‘San Junipero’, nevertheless, no one appears to be doubting this reading of this episode. Writer Charlie Brooker clearly commented from the ending: ‘I think it is an extremely pleased momentthey are destined to have a very serious relationship and they’re each others’ chosen ones’… they know. Nevertheless, how can

two protagonists reach the point if they realise they’ve found their ‘chosen one’? And it isn’t that idea by itself notably distressing?

Amy and Frank meet making use of an app that is dating. We ver quickly become conscious that this can be a software with an improvement. Not merely is everything arranged ahead of time for the two of them – through the dishes they consume to your driverless vehicle that comes to whisk them away to a romantic, secluded cottage – they’re told through the start that there’s a 12 hour time frame on the relationship. Predictably, they hit it well, consequently they are sad to realise they probably won’t see each other once more. Both Amy and Frank are matched with a range of other incompatible people, with Frank drawing an especially short straw when he has to cohabit with a woman he hates for a whole twelve months over the next year.
