I'm an American, and I agree. It's not so much the American cast, but the tone shift that came along with the move to Netflix.
Brooker via https://movieweb.com/charlie-brooker-responds-to-black-mirror-criticism-netflix/ :
That said, "San Junipero" is one of my favorite episodes. Probably because, at the time, it was the rare happy ending.
But at the end of the day, it's still a great show that wonderfully extrapolates current tech trends into varying "10 minutes into the future" dystopian scenarios. Sometimes we need to think everything will work out. :shrug:
Yorkie kind of had it bad in the real world her whole life. I can sympathize (though mercifully not directly relate). And I'd much rather San Junipero myself than live out my days in a nursing home. YMMV, obviously.
In a lot of ways, Upload is something of a sequel to San Junipero lol
