The program is not an outlier. Streaming services are currently full of shows that give viewers few reasons to be optimistic, such as Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" and Netflix's "Black Mirror," both of which depict futuristic dystopias that don't always seem all that far fetched.
According to Patrick Davey Tully, a family therapist based in Los Angeles, viewers gravitate towards these shows to see their own feelings reflected back at them, which they find emotionally reaffirming. He said that there's really nothing new about this phenomenon, and that the only difference today is the emotional intensity of the programming.
He added that as a consultant to Silicon Valley companies, "technology run amok" is a topic that comes up frequently during his business day, and often leads to discussions about "Black Mirror"– specifically, the 2017 episode "Metalhead," in which human beings are hunted by deadly robotic dogs. "'Game of Thrones' helped HBO generate millions of new sign-ups every single season," he said. "Will entertainment producers keep diving into these dark themes? You bet."
