As of the last episode, it is. But it seemed to me like they had only just dispelled that possibility, when the flipped it around again. :dunno

Anyone watch the finale?
I don't think it totally warranted a postponement due to the VA news reporter shooting, but holy fuck that was graphic. This show is pretty raw, especially for a non-premium network.

I agree. Didn't really need the week long postponement but whatever people are sensitive about things.
Interesting ending. Awesome to see the complete global chaos caused. At my office we deal with Cryptolocker infections fairly regularly, so considering that this entire "hack" boiled down to a similar type of malware was pretty interesting. The damage that can be done is real, and if your backup and recovery plan isn't solid... you're fucked. Though real world I'd assume that systems are disparate and connected by data interfaces, so you'd have to attack a lot of different banking systems to cause a true global financial meltdown.
I sincerely hope they tone down the Elliot is a bi-polar, unstable, crazy person angle. Gets kind of tiresome after a while.
Awesome to end the season with SOOOO many loose ends. Lots to go into season 2 with! :thumbup

This show is stupid. You guys are cra cra for liking it.
I like Starbucks. I like my Honda. I like the value exchange of time/money for goods, especially after trying to grow my own food (especially coffee. Roasting your own is a PITA) and live semi off grid. I can't relate to Elliott's problems and childish rants. And Christian Slater was OK in Young Guns 2, Star Trek 4, and True Romance. That's it.

You forgot Gleaming the Cube, Heathers and Pump up the Volume. Which makes it clear to me your opinion is not one that concerns me.

Yea, I don't think I like those movies. I can't remember them well so I guess that is telling. I take it you're a Slater fan
Black Mirror was great! I'll bet we agree on that.

You probably stopped watching at just the right time. Check post #31 and then #37 in this thread. :laughing
I finished the season, and will watch next season. The show is entertaining enough, but it's definitely not the bestest show ever.

It seems that this show hit a divide with viewers as did Season 2 of True Detective. In my opinion, the key value of this show centers on the powerful themes and truths it explores...
Given the depth that it explores very powerful themes, it tends to break-off with some viewers. "I didn't sign up for all of this" "this is a joke and isn't possible or realistic" or simply the show doesn't resonate with them. I'm not sure how that gap can be bridged as it has very much to do w/ your world view and what you know to be possible and realistic.
Binged watch the season 1 in the place. I love the show. And I like how they use backtrack, armitage, metasploit, ettercap and other geek stuff for the show: it's not like one of those show were hacking isn't realistic at all. The show/technicalities are real and that makes the plot line even stronger. I loved each episode.
Special mention for the soundtrack and the director: both music and image compositing are refreshing and interesting.
