I watched the first episode yesterday, and it looks very good! The hacking scenes seem largely accurate, unlike it is usual in TV and movies. I think Instab and Master Razor will also like it.

I watched it last year. Stoped watching after episode 8 or 9 of season 1.
I didn't like the directotion of the show.

kinda true...even if at the beginning looks like something cool...on the road..you have that felling that the script lost the main purpose focusing more on the main character double personality issues...but bottom line ...decent show ..still watching...if i have to rate...i say an 7,9 - 8

exactly, this quickly turns into a personality drama. i stopped watching it after a couple of episodes.

So, I watched the season 1 finale and...

Spoiler :

...loved it. It's like Fight Club and The Matrix were combined and turned into a TV series.

My only complaint: first fsociety had 50 hours to get everything done, or else the Dark Army wouldn't attack the China datacenter and all they'd worked for would be lost. Then Tyrell visits Elliot at his apartment, both go to the arcade, *TIME SKIP*, three days later Elliot wakes up in a black SUV, and by then everything had fallen into place and the revolution occurred. This felt pretty cheap.

But everything else is top-notch once you realize that (as was already said) it's a drama series with computer hacking elements, and not the other way around.

watched from the first episode of s1 and loved it! The game is great too - very unique - try it if you haven't already!

I have heard a lot about it, queued it to be watch when I'm not pampering my little lovely ladies (I think this will still forever )

Watch it with them, they might learn some things about password cracking and stuff

To avoid spoilers, I'll say: only towards the first season's finale do things get interesting and the true direction of the series is revealed, so you'll have to watch it entirely to decide if you like it or not.

It always amazes me how these fuckers wind up in power positions when they know nothing o of technology and how it grows.

it just goes to show how even high-positioned people in a certain industry have a hard time guessing the future of their own field of activity
the world moves in mysterious ways, no?

Well, that was true at the time it was said. Computers were very expensive toys reserved for enthusiasts (with money) and corporate settings. The general populace didn't know what they were good for, and they couldn't do much to begin with. Let's have a look at these specs and price tag (equivalent to $24363 in today's dollars).

I need an episode of Mr. Robot where Elliot successfully cheats on what.cd
