Episode one was really solid. One of the better episodes of the second half of the show. Pulls on all sorts of threads regarding class, social justice, and soft authoritarianism.

I've just binged most of the series in the past month or so after learning about it as a result of Steve Pemberton's appearance on Taskmaster. I think it's absolutely brilliant, although somewhat uneven. The episodes that hit are just superb, and even the ones that aren't perfectly executed still tend to contain some interesting ideas.
