Interesting.

  You:
  Black Mirror = "stupid"
  Star Trek = "shallow soap opera for nerds"
  
  Me:
  Black Mirror = genius
  Star Trek = (TNG-era) brilliant, formed much of my values and views of the world
I really, honestly would like to study the way you (and people who share your opinion) think vs. the way I (and people who share my opinion) do. The way you argue against Black Mirror / Star Trek suggests some fundamental difference in understanding the world - things that for you are obviously stupid are for me obviously brilliant.

I would be grateful if you could elaborate on what you think was shallow in Black Mirror vs. other shows you saw, and what made you dislike Star Trek. I'm very curious where does that difference in perceiving those shows come from.

Maybe de gustibus non est disputandum?
That's just cop-out. I'm not criticizing the views of 'mei0Iesh, just trying to understand them, in order to reflect on my own.
