Yep, no Hollywood "PRESS X Y Z AND BUST INTO THE MAINFRAME" type of hacking, which I love. I'm not one to understand the scripts and code being used in Terminal (I know of Kali Linux / Terminal etc), but just being an average PC user with an average understanding, it gives me comfort and reassurance that I'm actually watching something legitimate which makes it far more intriguing. On top of this, have you seen the Easter Egg's of this show? Amazing stuff.

Not always, if you are very attentive, then you will not have a strong surprise, and this is only a plus to the series. Attentive viewers are rewarded

I'm someone who usually sees twists coming but with this show.. Just when you think you think you know whats happening it pulls the rug out. All the way to the end.. Love yous so excited you are watching thsis my favourite show of all time.

Something I haven't seen mentioned a lot in comments - All of the hacking in this show is real and accurate. He's not just saying jargon, and everything you see him doing on a computer is real. Coders/hackers love this show for its accuracy. Basically the only unrealistic thing is that one person would have as much knowledge as Elliot does, but all of the techniques are true to life

autumn

Yeah! Definitely one of those "wait I recognise them from somewhere" side-character type actresses. She's really good too, deserves bigger roles

Kara

she's also Oksana from The Expanse! (Drummer's lover)

Dominic

Same, I remember when she appeared in BCS as Howard's wife and I was like WAIT WHY IS SHE SO FAMILIAR??

Dustywood

I was excited to see her in BCS because of her role as Susan Jacobs

Isaac

I'd just like to point out in advance, that the E Corp lady that we'll see soon is Howard's wife! (Howard from BCS)

This reaction series has been soooo satisfying to follow. If you're enjoying the show this much already, trust us when we say that the next 3 seasons and wild and incredible - by the end I rank it in my top 10, even top 5. So glad you like it.

Kara

this is like the 5th time i'm rewatching and I never noticed that, wow

Kara

I'm just here to say... DON'T FORGET TO WATCH THE POST-CREDITS SCENE IN THE SEASON FINALE. That's all.

Final notes: - Remember to continue through the credits for season finales! - The S2 premiere was twice the length, so technically the first two episodes of S2 are one episode. I don't think you need to watch them in the same session, but maybe something to keep in mind

This show has a lot of situations where small actions ripple out. Either a character makes a decision and it ends up being way more significant than they or us realized, or the opposite and it turns out something big that happened was already planned by another entity and is just a small step in their overall scheme. I like how the show explores collateral in that way. Anxiety about the CD has followed Angela for episodes but it's technically a good thing for the protagonist and therefore us since it allows for the hack to be possible. For Angela it's a life destroying situation but in the grand scope of things she's so insignificant to the perpetrators; they're not even thinking about her since she is just a pawn to allow the Dark Army to keep tabs on Allsafe as a backup. Having different characters/entities on different levels of the power hierarchy makes it so rewarding to think about the plot because there's countless varying perspectives of looking at the cause and effect of it all

I feel like it should be mandatory for people to rewatch the 1x4 withdrawal hallucination sequence at least once after every season. For example, Elliot says this episode that Darlene rode her scooter outside their house. Remember the little girl that he talks to in the dream when he's trying to find his childhood home who is riding around on a scooter? Same actress as in the family picture at the end of this episode, too
