They went the extra mile. A lot of it was actual exploits too and not just random HTML like I’ve seen in some shows, lol. They purposely would change a few things or not show something though to not be accused of showing people how to actually hack. That plus the way they show social engineering being an integral part of the process made it an incredibly refreshing show to watch.
I also loved how in a scene Elliot is starting to technobabble and a character is like “yeah, we know what a Raspberry Pi is dipshit” but he got just far enough in the explanation that if the audience didn’t previously know, they still got the jist.
I also liked that they didn’t just show social engineering as like this cool thing where you outsmart someone and walk away. Several times in that show it Elliot had to just completely destroy someone who’d done nothing wrong just because they happened to be the person in the way at the time.
I liked Mr robot too
