The suspension of disbelief is far too challenging in this attempt at implausible sc-fi noir (?).
Anybody stupid enough to sell 1/2 their brain to any corporation deserves their lot. I dunno if I can keep watching this dud to realize all the intricacies of these BOTTOM LINE STUPID PROTAGONISTS. This is like a means test to the end of who is most like a sheep in a flock of corporate prostitution. The entire premise is flimsy and hastily subtexted. There are plenty who would reign in ell rather than serve in heaven. This depiction is one of the less interesting of the genre. This is like those Missing hbo with Justin (Aniston ex?). Asinine thesis that went nowhere in philosophical dead ends and very soon subsequently cancelled . Even Patricia Arquette can’t save this one.

People spend lots of money to escape their miserable existences. To have your sorrow and pain erased for 8 hours a day AND get paid for it? Lots of people would sign up for that. Plenty of mindnumbing, soul crushing jobs that folks would love to forget about when they are off work as well. Sounds like the best of both worlds to me.
