Look at it like a gateway drug,
It's a TV show, cleverer than most, asking some big questions but still being wildly entertaining or thought provoking, but like others have said there is only so much you can cover in an hour
Maybe some people will come away from it just thinking 'that was some gosh darned good tellying what I just see'd' and others will look at message boards and the like and go searching out the 'source code' for a lot of the idea's touched on in the show and end up at the works of the writers and thinkers you mention. It's a bit telling of humanity that we now have a box of near infinite information (the internet) that a vast percentage of us are just distracted by how shiny the box is rather than the contents

I know it's just a series, and it needs to be entertaining. Again, I'm not criticising it as a production. I'm just saying that it's not about who did what, what character did what. It's about how we react. And, for me, the right reaction should be reflecting on what I am rather on where the characters mistake or how they behave.

I can sort of see what you mean with the contrast inherent in the show - "Digital technology and the internet are destroying us all, so watch our show on Netflix that got a huge following thanks to internet streaming!"
Also, it's hard enough to explain a complicated philosophy in a two hour movie and still be entertaining, but Black Mirror episodes are half that length. I think that when trying to make complicated social commentary in a TV time length, you sometimes have to be preachylike The Twilight Zone before Black Mirror.
If you must blink, do it now.
