Dating Episode – Black Mirror – Hang The DJ

OPW – Feb 5 – If you've not seen the 'Hang The DJ' episode in the 4th series of Black Mirror on Netflix, go see it. It's quite thought provoking for people working in the dating industry. I won't spoil the plot line for you, but its about a futuristic extreme matchmaking app. Users are given matches, but they HAVE to take them, and they HAVE to abide by the time restriction on that relationship, or they get banished.

Some relationships are for a day, some are for months or years. But at the end of the relationships they have to part ways and the computer figures out their match based on the biofeedback and reactions from their time with that person.

It's freaky dystopian highly entertaining stuff. Go watch it and comment here. Spoilers in the comments. (Thanks to Professor Robert Metcalfe for the heads up on this episode).
