    This show is idiotic.
    It's like that awful movie Hackers but 100x less believable. It's like The Matrix but 1000x more pretentious.

    If I wanted to listen to some little shit telling me I'm a sheep and that every conspiracy theory is actually true I would come here and start a flame war with Yurimon. Every hacker nerd I've ever known likes to think they're a "Mr Robot" and that the entire world is in a conspiracy to get a hold of their hentai collection. This show plays into that self-fulfilling, paranoid world view that everyone who doesn't spend their time bickering on 4chan every night is a "mindless prole" and if you can download TOR that makes you fucking Snowden.

    • I read the last word in your rant as 'Sweden' and was left perplexed by your conclusion for a second or two there.detritus
    • btw, it's a tv show rotating absolutely around 'hacker paranoia' tropes - i'm not sure what else you'd expect from it?detritus
    • It's really entertaining. Ur thinking too deep brah.fyoucher1
    • Detritus: That's exactly why it's not a good show. Filling up a script with tropes isn't good writing.eighteen
    • I agree it's really cheesy and found some of the subplots pretty tedious.yuekit
    • It's not up there with the best shows but entertaining and fun at least.yuekit
