Strangely, some episodes actually have an optimistic ending. Maybe kinda bitter sweet, but still.

Anything even remotely positive suddenly feels very good in this context where the baseline is a total nightmare. When you think a character has hit rock bottom, Black Mirror shows you how things can always get 10x worse. What you thought was bad, was just a warm up lap.
