What is the point of the new Netflix docuseries Working: What we do all day?

I just watched the first 2 episodes and I really don't get it. In the show we're just following people around on the job and in their home life, with the occasional Barack Obama appearance or voice over (he and Michelle are executive producers) in which he shares the most service level basic facts about the US economy and it's work culture, or has a little chat with one of the people the episode focuses on. It feels so cynical for some reason
