Does /g/ actually like this or is this just a stupid reddit show?

>>61010791
Of course not. It's either ironically or reddit newfwiendposting.

>>61010791
It's boring as fuck. Couldn't get past the first few episodes. The only thing I remember is that the bad guy pays a bum to use as a punching bag, and the protagonist does a drug.

Lost me at "I know it's supposed to be better".

I see you're using guhnome.

>>61010791
i actually watched this shit and found season 1 to be pretty ok but season 2 was quite boring for me

>>61010791
I hated it, so much memes.
>im le hackerman running gnome, I'm a drug abuser, oh no! I don't have any drugs I'm going to cry
>I'm the justice xdddd
>lol I'm going to search for fsociety on 4chin xd
>gay sexx
I can't stand it, but I met a lot of people who love it, and were enthusiasts about trying Linux (Kali Linux specifically) after watching the show.

>>61010791
All I see is people praising it for accuracy but I saw plenty of tech and sec mistakes in the first episode. Enough to get yelled at by my wife for letting me autism dribble onto the floor, anyway. Haven't watched part there.

>>61011134
>Enough to get yelled at by my wife for letting me autism dribble onto the floor
I know that feel, I can keep it in either.

Season 1 is alright, but it does seem like the main character is what non-computer savey people think of "hackers".

>>61011090
Not 4chan, """the boards”””.
They even went as far as adding a fake furry board on the 4chan clone that he browses, so I'd guess the tech consultant or slave behind the show has crawled out of this shithole

>>61010791
S1 wasn't bad overall but finale ruined everything.
Stupid gimmick.

>>61013018
One of the business guys, Tyrell, is shown gay-sexing a man. That man's name is Anwar.

It's NEET garbagehead inspiration. The main character is a le edgy hackorz opiate addict. Basically "capitalism sucks and having a real job sucks so I'm gonna be a dark Knight IT guy and do heroin."

>>61013121

I actually think season 3 will be good.

Season 2 could have been much better if it wasn't for the muh mental illness second personality bullshit

>>61013154
I agree

Its too much like fight club, feel like I've watched it before

It's good shit, but the end of season 2 has gone down some freaky fight club fake out rabbit hole.

Mostly I enjoy the IT stuff from its basis in reality (yes I know they stretch the truth a bit).

Old habits die hard unfortunately.

>>61010791
At first I liked it, Then I rewatched it and realized how stupid it was:

Season 1:
>le depressed hackr sees psychiatrist, hacks everyone he meets, and does drugs to feel less ronery
>Has no idea what his family looks like until they tell him
>Hurr I use linux and gnome!
>I need to fight capitalism
>I hax the worrld
>My daddy issues makes me elite haxxxor
>Corporate people keep memeing me.
>Blue mountain state chick dies
>Hurr my feels
>I need to hax Bank of America
>Can use guy-fox mask so Ill use this other shit reference
>Hurr we took down a big bank
>Most powerful hackrs, fsociety

Season 2:
>hurr im in jail for shit
>Lemme immagine hacking tor sites from jail
>I play chess with Seth Rogan's black friend
>I took down a big corporate bank
>Child hood friend works for big corporate bank, they killed muh senpai.
>Most powerful executives
>Hurr me and kde exec were in it together all along
>I gotta hack democracy
>Drugs.

Season 3:
>Hurr I'm a haxxor
>Gotta take down more corporations
>Gotta take more drugs and be depressed
>Childhood friend is in bed with enemy
>We gonn hack the governments
>Trippy music
>Drugs
>hack
>Bazzzingoo
>drugs.


This show is fucking stupid.

>>61014669
you've seen season 3? damn.....

>>61010791
>It's a super tech accurate show and really in depth with its focus on hacking and hacking culture, following the life of an antisocial introvert that finds it difficult to fit in with society
It's a show about relationship troubles and there's a guy who does drugs and is totally antisocial except that he's not. The tech stuff is mediocre. This is a show for women that totally hate le capitalism and society dude.

>>61014711

Bad:

I guess they wanted to minimize sensationalism in one aspect so that they could sensationalize everything else.

Because of this, I liked season 1 and found season 2 slightly annoying.

I want to like it but there's too much memes and marxist bullshit for me to full enjoy it. Most people watch it for the marxism and character drama, but I wish they doubled down on the tech side to appease autists like me instead of normalfags.

>>61015808
I was considering giving the show another chance (Dropped it halfway through the first episode too). But this scene turned me off.

Does the show feature any more edgy shit?

>>61016664
yup, see
>>61016508

It's good if you watch it ironically even though the second season felt like about three quarters filler.

There are way more redditesque shows out there

Started off pretty good, nice premise, big budget relatively good acting.

then the story started to thin out, couple of nice scenes and story plots came out, the s2 was half shit - like that. whole. fucking. episode. that made it look they were on a 90's tv show.

also, the whole effect where there were multiple plot twists starts to grow thin by the end of s1, kinda overdone desu, like a rollercoaster ride every fucking ep.

I'll still watch s3.

No show is going to have remotely realistic hacking because it would be boring as fuck. For a TV show it's not that bad and quite a few of the exploits on the show have been directly taken from metasploit. The Ruby code he was typing up in one of the season 2 episodes is directly taken from the metasploit source code (although he fucks up the formatting horribly).

They took this from reality. A bunch of wall street traders got caught doing this a few years ago.

I don't remember seeing 4chan. what episode was this?

First Episode was 10/10, Reminded me of Deus EX HR but the hacking was actually sensical.

Then it sort of falls off into crazy land.

Then S2 went all AnCom bullshit.

I'm excited enough for S3 though.

>>61019242
This is what happens when mainstream entertainment seeks to capture an audience of generic normalfags that think they're unique and important.

You can't actually make a genuinely odd character otherwise the audience can't relate and audiences have no respect for odd characters anymore. He has to have friends but he doesn't feel like he really connects (just like everyone). Drama has to stem from relationship troubles like the young viewers may have had. His political beliefs must be alternative but not offensive or genuinely antisocial.

>>61010791

Tons of people in the tech industry do drugs. Usually weed and psychotropic drugs. I had a pretty nasty fentanyl habit myself.

Being that you're on /g/, I would expect you to know that Google filters your search results based on your interests and what it knows about you to provide more relevant results. For example, Google "weather" or "temperature" and wonder if everyone is a 4chan user that lives in the same place as you, or if you're just dumb.

It is a realistic (with literary freedom) portrayal of hacking, much more-so than any other shows.

Beyond that, the story is not great. The psychological shit is a huge crutch to keep you guessing. I mean it's okay once or twice but christ, that can't be the main premise of the show.

With that in mind I love the show. Maybe I'm a faggot retard normie. Whatever.

>how did you get off heroin?
I tried quitting, a bunch, I failed 2-3 "serious efforts" to cold turkey. It really got to a point where the downward spiral was apparent enough and it was not fun at all do do opiates anymore. I woke up one day, called in sick to work and tried again on a whim. I had some clonidine and valium prescribed from a doctor from a previous attempt. Clonidine takes the edge off, that's about it.

>were you ever addicted?
every day, if you stop for ~18 hours you start getting dopesick

>is it like in the movies?
I dunno, depends on the movie I guess. If you're talking about withdrawing, yeah, it's really fucking bad, it's basically the worst out of any drug. Benzo or alcohol detox can kill you cold turkey, opiates are just extremely painful.

Didn't sleep for 4 days, couldn't eat solids for 3, your guts go to liquid unless you take loperamide (which is a non-brain barrier crossing opiate you can get for diarrhea). Apparently I was microsleeping after not sleeping for so long (nonresponsive while standing, mid-talking). Not sleeping is seriously the worst.

Its depiction of hacking is a step in the right direction, but it does have stupid shit that even I as a tech pleb know is stupid (Teaching someone to type in terminal commands? Just fucking give them a script.)

It would be super boring otherwise; off the top of my head I enjoyed the Steel Mountain infiltration, sure there's a fat chance of finding an AC panel with an unsecured ethernet connection (lol AC secured) but connecting a battery powered RPi to connect and phone home to the crew is cool.

Dropping malware loaded USB sticks outside a police station for some gumshoe to pick up and use is neat (and obvious, this literally works), plus the mixtape/CD handouts.

Hacking the police Wifi was really fucking farfetched but interesting, especially bluetooth diving the cop car computer
