Ah nice! My wife started watching this one and is a little confused at a few of the concepts you mentioned. Though, she is one to ask what the point is before the reveal. Still, I love post apocalyptic for shows and might have to check it out.
Thanks to our friend @stdd for sharing this so I could see it too.

Yeah I'm really curious as to where it's going to go. So far it is one of those shows that really gets you guessing and trying to figure it out when there's currently nothing to go by. But that's really part of the fun!
Especially when the protagonist is so easy to dislike. It almost has you wanting the hive mind to get its way and progress. Which, very soon, might actually reveal itself to be more sinister than it seems. I love that contrast. On one hand it shows how this doesn't seem like a bad thing, but then on the other we see what would be lost through it.
It's a show that weighs the concepts of individuality, society and its self-destructive nature as a result of freedom, and the problems of a hive mind group that is incapable of saying no even if, again, it leads to self-destruction. Kinda like it's shining a light on humanity and in some dark humourous way says we are doomed regardless.
Looking forward to where this goes from here though. Three episodes in and it hasn't yet got a direction to suggest anything at all.
