I never watched it, but I've heard about this show both in passing and in "left spaces." Are any of these things true about it? Thanks.
--It is too on the nose with its social commentary. --The criticism it makes is obvious. --The subjects it tackles are low-hanging fruit of the digital era. --It is the stupid person's idea of a profound show. --Something about it being British led to more dunks on it. --The reason it entered left discourse in the first place is because it had potential as a critical text, but ultimately failed at it.
I thought it was entertaining. Thats it. I wouldnt call it deep or anything. Got a couple of good episodes and some weak ones. Not every show needs to be some great piece of art. I agree that its a bit silly at times but I had fun with it.
