Yes. Basically it is a re-branded, re-heated and re-packaged entertainment version of today's rat race.

Unfortunately, lots of people are just easily impressed by what influencers are watching or what is 'trending' these days. So they follow the hype squad around; like sheep.

It is great for Netflix's business since they have a successful hit, but count me out of the hype squad; since I simply cut through the hype.

What is so objective about an opinion?

So Black Mirror has 'failed' successfully. /s
