That's from the IMDB site for the show: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8694364/

Starts off with now then jumps ahead 5 years to a very dystopian near future, essentially the Trumpian nightmare that follows. Lots of shots at Brexit, etc., but not a damn thing funny about any of it.

Has the feel of an extended Black Mirror, but the writer/creator has a Dr. Who background.
