I presume you mean ‘Free for All’ - which is actually episode 4 as per original airing.

Why wasn’t it very good?

This episode is one of the best, & resonates even more today, and the ending was brutal.

Respectfully disagree. I found it to be a scathing, dark, even despairing, satire of politics & media, delving into the ways people are distracted, deceived, manipulated for the sake of whatever Powers May Be. And those powers span the entire political/ideological spectrum.
