Mr. Robot anyone ??
 
Fascinating show me thinks. Somewhat dystopian but a lot of reality in it (I think as what constitutes reality in this show is hard to determine) and perhaps predicting the future?

Also find it interesting that Evil Corp.'s logo is very close to Enron's...

and great casting !!

We're watching it. None of the few tech fiction shows that don't make me derisive with the total inaccuracy.

They are getting a little weird this season, but I'll ride it out for a while...

I thought it was awesome the first episodes with the Robin Hood hacker concept. Then it jumped the shark for me with the whole Christian Slater hacking underground BS.

Yeah! I am a fan.
Some times it's a little hard to follow.....DVR is a wonderful thing.

Saw the first one and loved it! Wish Netflix had it I would binge. Can never seem to catch the primetime offering.

Too weird this season.

Started out awesome. This season has gotten weird. I keep telling myself that I'm not watching it anymore but I get curious. I have have a feeling I won't make it to the end of this season.

Just finished episode 4 of the second season. The first 3 episodes were weird, the 4th was good I thought. Looking forward to finishing the season.

My impression also. Liked the going after the bad guys in the first episodes. Versions of that would have been enough for the first season. Morphed too soon into what it is now. Were the writers worried that it wouldn't have had a second season so they quickly upped the ante? I have stuck with it though but really on the edge of not watching at all.

I just finished the first season, which ended with a lot in the balance. I loved it. You guys got me worried about season 2.

Season 2 requires some commitment. Here's how I am looking at it - imagine you just got hit over the head and knocked unconscious (essentially what fsociety did to modern civilization in season 1). When you wake up, you will be disoriented and fuzzy. This is how season 2 starts out - there's intentionally-placed confusion, disjointed story, and a sense of disconnection. However, after the first few episodes, they gradually start pulling everything back together.

There is at least one major bombshell that is dropped, too - but you have to stick it out.

For those who also wanted some more of the Robin Hood type hacking - you will be rewarded (a bit) in season 2.
