In the Premier League I think it's tough to argue that it has. There seems to be a reluctance to acknowledge when a referee has made an error and wrong decisions are being doubled down on. The fact that not once has a referee reviewed an incident on the pitch side monitor is bizarre.

That Delofeou one was about 3 penalties in one!
Yup cant see the point if they are only giving offside descisions by 6'' and ignore nailed on penalties . Also think the Ref might think leave that to VAR and visa versa by the VAR .

Most decisions in football are too subjective and open to interpretation to make VAR effective in my opinion. Use goal line technology and retrospective punishments for diving, violent acts, etc but leave the rest alone.
It's a game that wasn't broken in the first place. Decisions go for and against over the course of a season. It's that emotion and uncertainty that makes it the game it is.
VAR (much like the huge sums of money sloshing around at the top level) is stripping away at the soul of football.

You must remember that it is the same prem referee's who find it impossible to be consistent about what is / is not a foul that find it equally impossible to be consistent when looking at a tv replay of an incident. The video refs just seem to back up the mistakes of the ref on the pitch, whereas it was expected that they would correct the errors. Shame as VAR is a very good idea that still manages to make a large number of basic errors in decisions.
As others have said the operation of VAR isn't fully subjective, so in the case of a decision on a 'foul' it can tell you by and large if contact is made or not, but no more than that. So if all that's required for a foul now is contact then it's ideal, but what sort of game you'd have as a result makes the mind boggle.

This is apparently the hand ball law 'simplified'.
