I wonder if the ubiquity of e-commerce and robot customer service is a primary contributor to this kind of dehumanization that regards others eerily like NPCs. Sometimes see this kind of main-character pathology in viral dating app horror stories or text exchanges as well.

The Episode 1 scene with the TV phone call conversation and the absurd chyron is what the show should be aspiring towards. The characters introduced in Episode 2 are a dumber, unpleasant, and less entertaining departure from that.
