Oh, I completely forgot that I also watched this ("years and years" ago) until I read the plot description. I enjoyed it quite a bit as well, but it seems to really make an effort to portray things going from bad to worse as quickly as possible. I think the intent was to shock complacent viewers into thinking critically about how politics and technology could impact their daily lives in the near future.
I expect if it was recommended to you it was because Donald Trump won re-election, as he did on the show (albeit non-consecutively), and Russia won the war in Ukraine. I think it goes a bit "broad" with its predictions after that (particularly around technology), but still interesting to watch and ponder.
