I only watched one episode and it was just too pretentious
But which one was it? They're all separate situations with unique characters per episode.
Looks like it was S3E1 Nosedive
Oh, that one was... yeah, I would not have been hooked off that one, personally. I would definitely reconsider if you're at all willing. Maybe try Black Museum. Hmm... not sure of which you might like the most, but USS Callister is widely renowned, as far as I know.
The entire premise seems too preachy for me. They really kinda beat you over the head with it. And are usually kinda victim blamey, from the bit I've learned beyond the one episode I watched.
Rather, the overarching idea in Nosedive is that the flawed system pushes people to misbehave in terrible ways; it encourages you to step back, zoom out, and be more in horror at the whole thing from the start to end, rather than just at the protagonist's actions. Same with the episode White Bear, etc.
