Poor Waldo

I think the overall message of it was great and weirdly prophetic but I just wouldn't watch it again because of how annoying the Waldo character was.

I literally can't remember anything about it lmao. All I know is, is that it was the weakest of series 2.

I have to say though White Bear was leagues better than any of them, it was such uncomfortable viewing, you didn't know what to feel in the end, it was horrifically terrifyingly great

Shaun

Yeah it kinda left me suspicious of the plotline for Shut Up and Dance in a way, though, I just had a hunch something was wrong with the main character as soon as it started (with the toy in.... McDonalds was it?)

McDonalds was it?)I watched that before White Bear so I wasn't suspicious, I don't remember the toy though

Shaun

Was the very first scene IIRC, some little girl drops a toy where he works (can't remember if it's a cafe, fast food, or whatever) and he picks it up for her and there's a weird pause. Just instantly went "PAEDO" for whatever reason :joker:

Hang the DJ is this season's San Junipero. A perfectly acceptable and cute episode whose popularity I can't comprehend.

The Entire History of You is an underrated legend with Queen Jodie Whittaker.

I liked it, I thought it was a thrilling and intriguing concept, but it was just a bit too quiet for me.

On a related note, do we know why it was called Hang the DJ or am I being thick? :worry:

Yeah, I enjoyed it well enough it just didn't have that "punch" for me.

I was wondering this throughout the episode but at the end when their real-life selfs match each other, the song that is playing is Panic by The Smiths

Hang the DJ means "stop the music" - it relates to their rebellion at the end, as they just wanted everything/everyone/the world that they were in to stop.

Googled it cos i was also interested. THis is an answer I accepted

Hang the DJ" is the chorus of the song "Panic" by the Smiths, which is played at the end of the episode. The gist of it is that the songs on the radio are meaningless to the singer and don't describe his life. My guess is that the various relationships they go through without each other were meaningless to them, hence they ended up with their 99.8% rating in the end

I think Hang the DJ would've worked better if it was longer. It didn't really give you enough time to care emotionally for the main characters.

I think too much of the episode was spent focussed on that awful girlfriend who complained about everything. I think one montage of her annoying behaviour was enough.

Marsh.

Also there was lowkey not much chemistry between the main couple where you really root for them.

I just don’t get the hype sorry! I was quite bored for the majority of the episode and I really didn’t like the character of Yorkie at all. The graphics etc. were all amazing and the twist was all lovely and a bit of shock, but it didn’t work for me on the whole.

I liked the episode and would place it higher than you have but, I have to agree, vastly overrated.
