https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4158110/

Was recommended this show by a friend two days ago and have ploughed through the first season.

If you're in the tech industry, especially programming, this is a very plausible show but doesn't go on about it to bore people who don't understand the terminology.

Well worth checking out Thumbs Up

I enjoyed it. Thought some things were farfetched but it's the most real I have seen hacking depicted in any TV show or movie.

I thought the psychological development of the characters was pretty interesting.

Just watched it all.
There was a review by Emmanuel in the latest 2600 that prompted me to watch it. Some believable, some not, but certainly engaging and not the usual see through plot.
Be interesting to see what they do with season two...

Yeah, but now everyone knows if you fit a raspberry pi behind a thermostat with a little bit of ruby code you can bring an entire datacentre to its knees...

One or two places I recall would have just needed to be left alone with their own ineptitude for long enough Laughing

Compromising the updates later though was a valid methodology. Maybe recall somewhere being mailed discs with OS & sofware updates many years ago, which were merrily applied without any checking beyond the labelling. Confused

Of course, we all check the md5sums and chain of trust don't we kids Very Happy

Defo worth a watch Thumbs Up It is at least believable, they even take the piss out of 'Hackers' which is also worth a watch because you get to see young Angelina Jolie's chebs.

People are always kicking out slight alterations to existing recipes. Doesn't make them any less enjoyable.

There really aren't that many TV shows/movies that are entirely original.

^ Agreed, similarities were obvious, but entertaining nonetheless.
I think the actors did a pretty decent job on it.

Only watched the first episode so far, about 3/4 of the way through I was thinking the only product I haven't heard/seen was Starbucks..... then BANG.... Starbucks gets a mention.

Aside from all the name dropping and product placement, I actually enjoyed it, so will be watching a few episodes tonight

Does the first season get better, as I've only watched the first 3 and has been put down the list.

Watched them as they hit, it's a very well written show and it's pulled me straight back in.

I'm a bit disappointed in 2.0 so far. Seems to be dragging its feet a bit.

Whilst I enjoy the strangeness of this show, season 2 has been nowhere near as good as season 1.

On episode 7 now and things are moving slowly.

I stopped watching Dexter when they confirmed 5 more seasons or something.

Really enjoyed series 1 of Mr. Robot, series 2 was dragging but hopefully with what CaNsA alluded to it'll get better.

Dexter... nailed several seasons, think I got as far as the Trinity stuff and for some reason I just stopped watching it and haven't been back.
