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.

    It is too on the nose with its social commentary.

    I think that’s more of a case of reality being too on the nose - the episode where the british prime minister fucks a pig was released 4 years before british prime minister David Cameron was revelead to have fucked a pig
