The show had potential but I lost interest. The big revelation about the main character was not executed well. The writers were terrible and from the outside it looked like they just picked the hottest topics from the weekly tech news blogs.
Not to mention the awkward alexa product placement...
..but ofc I'll still end up watching it
Yep. It was too obvious and we've already seen that in Fight Club.
It would have been a lot better if Elliot had never figured it out but the writers had left little breadcrumbs here and there for the internet to make conspiracy theories.
And the problem is not so much that it had been done before but that it was obvious.
