For me it feels like an uncanny valley, I'm seeing elements of real life that usually don't appear in fantasy shows and it's something I recognise in an unfamiliar space and it just disturbs me. I usually watch fantasy shows to try and escape from my reality and enter into another one, but this show personally for me has too much of what I recognise in it. Like I said, this show just isn't for me.
I agree with a lot of stuff but I want to adress and disagree with one of your points. Just because it has fantastic elements doesn't mean it can't have realistic element's as well. This literally represents real life but with magic. The rest of the world is unaware of the magic, why wouldn't they have TikTok and live their lives as normal? Just because something fantastical happens in a world doesn't mean that world has to be some alternate universe where nothing is ever the same as real life. 
Just like the Walking Dead is real life but if zombies(or walkers) were a thing.
