After experiencing a life-threatening situation, Mike decides to help his wife, Amanda, with new technology. However, everything goes down soon.
It’s that time of the year when viewers will get to learn how technology is being used negatively against them. Netflix has finally come forward with the seventh season of its highly popular series, Black Mirror, which doesn’t shy away from scaring viewers with how technology is becoming the real boss and humans are merely subjects. In the prior editions of the series, it has already been established that technology, however helpful it is, seems to be taking away a lot from us, and Season 7 is not different. It begins with an episode that is subtle, yet horrifying, and explores how the well-being of the human race is now being controlled by these big tech companies.
The first episode of Black Mirror Season 7 is titled Common People and begins with a look at the perfect lives of Amanda (played by Rashida Jones) and Mike (played by Chris O’Dowd). They are a happily married couple celebrating their third wedding anniversary and planning to go to Juniper to celebrate their anniversary. Mike works in the manufacturing sector, while Amanda is a teacher who teaches children about autonomous drone insects. Those insects are being used for pollination. However, they don’t know that their perfect little life is going to be turned upside down soon. Let’s take a look at what happened in Common People and how the episode ended. What Is Black Mirror Season 7 Episode 1 about?
