Black Mirror Season 6 Episode 1 Video Mp4 Download Movie

An average woman discovers a global streaming service has adapted her daily life – and her secrets – into a drama starring A-list actress Salma Hayek.

Most people indeed dream about having their “main character” moment, but they don’t hope to see their lives play out like a drama for the whole world to see and judge them by. Black Mirror Season 6 starts with a bang that is on point with its self-aware humor. As always, the episode is mind-blowing in many ways, and the absurdity of it all somehow makes it extremely real. The show, as we know, picks on some very primal fears we have, specifically of technology and any kind of advancement in the world of the internet. Let’s dive straight into the first episode, Joan Is Awful.

What Happens In Episode 1?

A woman named Joan wakes up in her mundane life and goes through her daily business, dissatisfied because she doesn’t feel like a main character. Every time her fiance Krish makes food for her, she responds with “hmm” because she finds even that too bland, but she’s safe with Krish, so she doesn’t want to ruin things for them. In the middle of all this, her ex-boyfriend Mac (interesting choice of name) keeps texting her, and she’s somehow tempted to reply to him. At work, Joan is upset because she needs to fire someone. She’s got a high position at work, but she’s essentially just a link between the board and those who work under her, with nothing to do for herself. We learn about these true feelings of hers when she speaks to her therapist after a long day of work. Seeing how she’s feeling, Joan decides to text Mac back and meet him. She wants something passionate again, like how it used to be with Mac, but her life is going so well, so it would be a sin to change that. But it’s rather easy for Mac to get back on Joan’s mind, and she kisses him before realizing that she needs to get back to Krish and that this is all wrong for her.

When she gets home, Krish has prepared yet another bland dish for her, and they try to figure out what to watch on the platform Streamberry (which is a replica of Netflix, of course, and the different shows are titled the same as Black Mirror episodes). After scrolling a little bit, they stop in surprise when they see Salma Hayek in a TV show titled “Joan is Awful.” Salma has the same hairstyle as Joan and the same suit that she currently has on. Krish is intrigued and begins to play the show. Joan thinks it’s a joke or a prank at first, but then she starts to have a panic attack when she realizes it’s quite real. Everybody she knows is watching the show and sending her messages regarding it, and the employees she was interacting with in the day are also watching their own lives play out on screen. But of course, this is Joan’s story, and she’s the main character, so let’s focus on her. Krish hears the awful things Joan says about him to her therapist and decides to leave her. She can’t fathom the fact that he would do that based on a TV show that might have taken some liberties in adapting her daily life. Krish gives her one last chance to show him her phone, but she’s unable to do it, proving the facts on the television. The next day, Joan was fired from work because classified information was shared in the show, and she essentially breached her NDA. Additionally, the show also showcases Salma Hayek’s Joan watching a TV show in a TV show about her own life with Joan, played by Cate Blanchett (yes, it’s Inception but on crack).
