10 Horrific Fates Suffered By Black Mirror Characters
6. Fifteen Million Merits - Abi's Prostitution
In a world where the currency is rewarded via stationary bikes, Bing befriends singer Abi and buys her an expensive ticket onto Hot Shots, a talent show where winners can live a life of luxury.
Things don't quite pan out, however, as Abi drinks the rather on-the-nose named "Cuppliance". The judges are unimpressed with her singing capabilities, leading to judge Wraith to offer her a place on his pornographic channel WraithBabes. Bing's outcries are drowned out by the pressure of the audience and judges, and Abi accepts.
The saddest thing about Abi's fate is her only crime is wanting more. Jessica Brown Findlay's vocals are hauntingly beautiful, and it's a kick in the teeth when Bing doesn't have the money to skip her pornographic video on the enormous screens that line his bedroom. Abi's fate feels wholly undeserved and pushes Bing to take action against the ruthless system.
