Black Mirror attempts to re-create the magic of season three's hopeful love story "San Junipero" in "Hang the DJ," and although it doesn't completely succeed, it's still a lovely entry into the season. The episode chronicles the lives of Amy (Georgina Campbell) and Frank (Joe Cole), two people inside a community called The System, where everyone's sole goal is to find their soulmate (they basically live inside Tinder). With the help of a digital "coach," a supersmart beeper, they meet and date a bunch of potential suitors who the algorithm decides might be a match.
Frank and Amy hit it off right away, but the pair are only given a few hours to spend with each other (you can match with someone for a day, a month, or even a year). Their fierce fight to be with each other is easily one of season four's high points and a great introduction to Campbell (Broadchurch, Five by Five). It's one of the few Black Mirror episodes that will leave you with a smile on your face. (I'd totally understand if you want to save it for last.)
