Black Mirror, Season 2 Episode 1

"Be Right Back"

Summary:

Martha and Ash are a young couple who move to a remote house in the countryside. The day after moving into the house, Ash is killed returning the hire van. 
At the funeral, Martha's friend tells her about a new online service that lets people stay in touch with the deceased. Martha rejects right away but her friend signed her up, without telling her. She was angry at first but after being urged by her friend, she decides to give it a try. Day after day, she starts to get addicted to it and talks to virtual Ash. She enjoys doing it even though it's just the voice. What's more, virtual Ash tells her it has next stage, which is still in its experimental phase: a body made of synthetic flesh that the program can be uploaded onto. That is a fake body but on the outside it looks exactly like Ash and talks like him.
However, though the body  can satisfy Martha sometime, she finds it getting more and more creepy and gets annoyed by it. What will she do next?
