I wouldn't think a TV Network would be too happy to advertise the availability and ease to buy drugs on the dark web. Also I doubt most people who watch it are as computer literate as here so probably aren't aware how easy it is which leads on to it simply easier to portray him doing drugs if he gets the off a dealer rather than in a mysterious package.

I guess but most people will know about it from the various articles on the silk road and it's alternatives.
just be nice to have all the dark stuff in there too for the sense of realism

seems like a series with a nice steady pace though, you know some would have dragged the evil corp hacking in the first episode out over a whole series

That's the thing though, it isn't. The company is The E Corporation, but it seems that EVERYBODY calls it Evil Corp.

In the first episode the main guy says that he only ever hears it being called EVIL corp now, So its a good little nugget in the program where he only hears Evil corp no matter what the others say.

I wrote my previous response before having seen ep2, maybe based upon what happened in ep2 this is the direction the show will go. I do agree though it would be good if the brought in some of the darker elements of the internet in to the show.

On the subject of E Corp, I can't be the only one who sees the 'E' logo on the computer equipment and thinks of Dell.
 
Just watched episode 2 via a stream... no more downloading torrents!!! Probably not legal, but heyho... why that site hasn't been shutdown, I don't know.

Episode 2, is good. Looking forward to Ep3 now. :)
 
I watched the third episode last night and I really don't know what to make of it, or even where it is heading. Although the premise of a good show is there, I just think that it is executed and styled in way that is just not to my tastes.

The music seems odd in places, and that scene with him tieing his pregnant gf up was just not needed

I may still with it, but I can't see this being renewed
 
The first ep was quite captivating, the second and third not so much. I'm sure it will get back onto the story arc as it needs to build towards something but I just wasn't at all interested in this weeks episode.

I particularly liked the vigilante premise of the first episode where he was taking people down, but we didn't even get to see if he did take down the drug dealer. Needs more hacking in a hacking show.
