Hang the DJ makes me realize that the writers have totally run out of ideas. What we have seen from season 4 so far are recycled, rehashed ideas from all the previous episodes. This episode, is obviously a rehashed version of San Junipero. I think this episode could be a lot more interesting if it didn't end with it being a simulation in a dating app. We've seen something similar on USS Callister, Playtest, San Junipero, and White Christmas, it has lost its magic. There are tons of other things you could write about technology gone wrong, no need to rehash old ideas.
And why can't they make an episode like 'Fifteen Million Merits' anymore? Why does everything have to end with the whole thing being a simulation in an app or a video game or a software now? Either that, or they use the same old idea of projecting memory/sight into video/pictures. It's getting old.
The high rating most likely come from the younger viewers, it has 2 likable main characters and a sweet, predictable love story, young people easily relate to that just like how they relate to Twilight.
