I order you to forgive yourself!

It has a really high rating of 9.4 on IMDB right now!

It's a show with a main character that has social anxiety disorder but connects to people by hacking them. (Through hacking, he can find out what other people like, their habits, hobbies, and what they want to hide from other people.)

I watched the two first episodes, so far I really like the characters and story. Almost has a fight club feel to it.

What's nice is that the hacking part is done a whole lot better than in any other show or movies I've watched before.

Domo arigat... :stfu:

Looks like it could be decent. It generally takes a lot for me to get into modern live action series, but I might give this one a try.

I'm exactly the same, it's so hard for me to get into modern live action series. It feels like a lot of them waste their potential with a lot of unoriginal plot. This one is decent awesome though!

Red classic.

I was recommended it (indirectly) by someone that liked Dexter (which I liked. At least, most of it.) I can see some minor resemblance, but it does seem like it's headed in a completely different direction. I recommend avoiding the show's sub-reddit if you want to avoid potential future spoilers. Either way, the show interests me and I look forward to seeing what happens.

Some people think so but I have my doubts.

Just finished watching the first episode. The moment he said "I hate Facebook", I was sold.

heh. Same. And it being a hacking series with a drug abusing main char. But having finished it I definitely did not STAY because of these. I stayed because awesome characters and plot twists. And literally nothing to complain about. This is fucking rare these days.
It kept me so hooked, I watched the whole thing in like 3 days.

It kind of lost me towards the end tbh. Not sure if I can be bothered to keep watching when the next season comes.

Yeah the psycho stuff gets more prevalent while the hacking dulls down and it crushes everything you thought you knew. Definitely a bold move and personally I liked it, but naturally it will put off others.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

Vrael -- that is insane

Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
