Yeah current reality is very unreal. Never been a fan myself but at least early stuff had some true trash at its heart instead of the probably scripted junk and attention whores now.
Fair enough. I think it subverts the genre tropes enough to keep it interesting. More so than The Boys for example.
Plus I still get plenty revved up over a good action sequence featuring an indie band I like, like Amyl & The Sniffers (whom it seems Black Mirror just discovered as well)

I’d count “punched up” live audience shows for this category.

Early reality TV was fine - whatever that has steamrolled into these day is an abomination.

It can be funny as like a case study in emotional manipulation by producers.
And then you realise people actually are gullible enough not to see through it and it's not funny anymore.
