The first ever episode of Black Mirror is actually kind of weak. It gets a lot better from episode two onwards. From just one initial thought, I found Entire History of You to be an utterly fascinating exploration of the implications of immediate recall of any event in your life - how it affects our jobs, relationships and even sex. That Be Right Back explored both mourning, and also the personas we present on social media vs our real selves.

But to each their own, I guess. If you consider it trite then you consider it trite - I'd consider it to be your loss!
