Black Mirror (Hang the DJ)

"I can't waste time wondering if I made mistakes. Life's too short for that." -Chow Mo-wan, "In the Mood for Love"

"Hang the DJ" lives or dies on the chemistry of its leads. The script certainly doesn't do much heavy lifting; "Black Mirror"'s fridge-horror tendencies are dialed down to just a blip, and the attentive will be far ahead of the characters at every turn. "Hang the DJ", however, recognizes that a great romance sees its audience fall for both its leads, and their electric rapport elevates the episode to being one of the most engaging stories of this season.
