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.

    If you've ever indulged in Sci-fi/Speculative fiction short stories (anthology collections, author collections, magazines, websites) the episodes felt like somebody trying to make a 1 hour long show out of a short story premise.

    For me, that's my kinda slop. But not for everybody and most of the episodes could have been way shorter, which would have probably made them better.
