First episode was interesting but the second one lost me quite a bit.

I was expecting more black mirror, it may just be a slow burn but still.

Also what's with Apple and making every male lead a depressed middle aged man who hates his job?

Mr Corman, Ted Lasso, Trying, Shrinking (at the start anyway).

Lasso isn't depressed, he's dealing with anxiety. Jason isn't depressed, he's just dealing with a a lot of life shit. Jimmy is probably depressed with his wife dying, but to answer your question, mental health is very relevant to current societal trends. Something not talked about for so long is bubbling over to be talked about. It makes sense.

I don't mind it here and there but it's getting rather stale.

It's not like there's any variety in different types of mental health, like You're the Worst for example showed bi polar. Not just depression.... In a white man.....

... Ted loves his job though. And he's not depressed, just has mild anxiety.

He doesn't love his job, he literally left America to do an entirely new one.

And he 100% has depression.

Me too. I hope it will get a little thriller and suspense with the mysterious hi-tech machine later just like Serverance. I don't know anything about the novel.
