I'm curious about why this particular show is being talked about so much in tech circles. Is it just because its a Netflix original production? The premise isn't personally interesting to me, but I'll watch the first episode to give it a try.

Remember that "real" networks like AMC also wanted this show. So as a first, it's worth seeing how it pans out. 2. The BBC show it is originally based on is, for real, one of the finest pieces of television ever made. Anyone who got hoked by it is bound to be curious about this one.
