What is the “common people” episode of “Black Mirror”? Trace Ellis Ross and Rashida Jones decompose
The first episode of the seventh season, “Common People”, Star Jones as Amanda, a teacher who has a medical emergency who leaves her almost death. Her husband soon learns of a new technology system, Rivermind, who could help keep Amanda alive.

“I mean, I think the positive turn is like all the best with capitalism and all you have to do is work hard, you can also be at the highest level,” said Jones. “I mean, we know that all this is not true. But (Rivermind) does not feel different from the whole model. It’s just the late phase version. The extreme version.”
