The show had potential but I lost interest. The big revelation about the main character was not executed well. The writers were terrible and from the outside it looked like they just picked the hottest topics from the weekly tech news blogs.
- rkachowski 7y agoI agree, they lean far too heavily on the fight club tropes - which sucks because the characters worked really well without that unnecessary twist. After the first season it seems like the tech / hacker details were just shoe-horned in after the fact. Not to mention the awkward alexa product placement... ..but ofc I'll still end up watching it
- wil421 7y agoThe characters were great without the twist. Some shows need a twist to make the characters compelling but not here. I need to finish season 3 and I’ll still end up watching 4.
- pier25 7y ago> The big revelation about the main character was not executed well. Yep. It was too obvious and we've already seen that in Fight Club. It would have been a lot better if Elliot had never figured it out but the writers had left little breadcrumbs here and there for the internet to make conspiracy theories.
- RandomInteger4 7y ago"We've already seen that in XYZ" seems like a really bad argument for disliking something. That's like saying that Game of Thrones shouldn't have been made, since we've already seen a medieval / fantasy show in the form of Lord of the Rings.
- pier25 7y agoIt's different because you are not referencing a major plot twist. And the problem is not so much that it had been done before but that it was obvious.
