Zero faith is a bit extreme.
This tendency of people to just throw their hands in the air and write things off rather than fight to fix them is one of the things that scares me the most now. It's the reason for Brexit. It's the reason for climate doomerism. It's enormously destructive.

I loved it in my 20s, but I don't enjoy it so much now (apart from a few favourite scenes!) So I agree, I do know what you mean.
But I wouldn't conclude that the show itself hasn't aged well unless people currently in their 20s say so. It may simply be that we left its demographic

Some things are precisely for a particular time, or a particular demographic.

"The arc of temperature increase has curved downward" ??
They're sooo desperate to tell the story they want to tell !!
It's easy to check that the arc is still curving up. There's no excuse for fairytales

The continual pressure to dehumanise the vulnerable is horrifying. From so many politicians and media outlets, as if this is the inevitable direction for the country right now.
They must think we're a nation of psychopaths
