The first episodes in the series are not merely brilliant but comforting and provocative. Even better they make the viewer think, which is always a worthy goal in our much too complex society. However in the Finale the auteur, Curtis, reaches into his magic hat and astonishingly posits that every "conspiracy theory" currently on the net is an indirect result of the influence of AI and data collection algos on our weak, pathetic human minds. Marshall McLuhan, wherever he is now resting, would have had a good twirl on that one. Not only is this notion facile but -- the irony -- it passes none of the "tests" that Curtis himself established in the earlier episodes. It is almost as if the series creator himself had a psychotic break with reality which, in many ways, really does make a wonderful conclusion to the entire adventure.
