Black Mirror Episode 1: Common People

Mike and Amanda are a happy couple living an everyday life. Mike works in a factory, and Amanda is a school teacher. They’ve been trying hard to have a baby and still hope it will happen one day. Everything is fine—until Amanda suddenly faints one day. It turns into a life-threatening emergency. The doctor tells Mike that Amanda won’t survive. But a new tech startup called Rivermind offers a way to bring her back, using advanced technology at a cost. With no choice left, Mike signs up the deal.

At first, everything seems fine. But soon, Rivermind starts pushing expensive plan upgrades. Even for basic services, Mike is forced to pay more than he can afford just to keep Amanda alive. Eventually, he runs out of money. With no options left, Mike ends Amanda’s life—and then takes his own. This Black Mirror episode shows a fictional near-future in which tech companies exploit people’s emotions and become dangerously greedy.
