Seriously, I never see this show mentioned too often, I know it does have plenty of acclaim of course, but in general talks where I frequent it just never comes up really. I'm on the last stretch of episodes, and this show has been an absolute delight from front to back. It's my all-time favorite show. I talked about it a bit when it was airing but never found much traction beyond the couple of us who seemed to be watching it so I don't make a big fuss about it unless prompted. because it is the GOAT. Snake5555555555 posted... Now at first, you might be annoyed with how on the nose and blunt everything might seem See, it sounds that way now - and sure it sorta was at the time too (remember it debuted in 2015), but it kept accidentally getting shit right too lol. Like a lot of major hacks were happening as it aired. LOL, I think the Ashley Madison one that gets referenced in the show at one point happened like days before the episode aired and was just dubbed in last second because filming had obviously long concluded. Not to say it was predictive but a surprising amount of stuff in the show to a present viewer hadn't actually happened yet at time of filming and either happened like after it concluded or shortly after it aired lol. Also one of the rare shows that gets hacking right instead of it being techno-magic. They had cybersecurity experts on staff to make sure they got the techniques and coding correct. Snake5555555555 posted... The show wouldn't be as thrillingly captivating without its dazzling camera work. The show's cinematic ambitious are proven justified time and time again especially once the show really takes off in S2 and beyond. Off-kilter shots again play into that psychological aspect, while the camera follows closely and steadily when occasional bursts of violent carnage occur, showing gruesome detail to remind you of the high stakes at play. S3 and S4 ESPECIALLY get flashy, with one episode even presented as one continuous shot (and I will never not love something like that). 100%. The camera work is out of this world. It's so, so good with the empty space and that presented as one shot episode is nuts. --- May you find your book in this place. <cite>xp1337 posted [p:964075422] in The Best S...
