I don't really have much to say. I applaud Sam Esmail and everyone involved for giving us a truly unique piece of storytelling. I always appreciate that in a world dominated by CBS and NBC feel-good shows. But this show did something that I don't think I've ever felt with another show...it forged a connection. A connection to these characters even though they're no more real than fairies and unicorns.
The subject matter is what got me hooked originally, though. Hacking and just technology in general has been an interest of mine since high school. I've never actually hacked before, but this series showed me just how powerful a few lines of code can be and what determination to ruin someone's life through a hack can do. Scary to think about. I didn't really cry at all throughout the series, but I did get a "I feel you" moment a few times. Seeing a man genuinely cry just does something to you.
But I guess seeing Elliot finally gain some measure of complete control over his life again in the final episode made me happy for him. To say he's been through a lot would be a huge understatement, obviously. But he deserves to be happy. Sure, he made some drastic mistakes like with the 5/9 attack, but he realizes that and tried everything in his power to fix it. And I respect that hugely.
Finally, I guess I should be thanking all of you. Without your support and keeping this show going, idk what I'd be doing. Probably still stuck in my depression I'm currently in, but I'm trying to get out of it. This show made me realize that yes, humans suck. We will continue to destroy and hurt ourselves no matter how perfect the world becomes. That's just who we are. So yes, fuck society. But don't say fuck you to the ones close to you. They're what matters most in this world, not what a president said on tv or what someone posted on Twitter or Facebook. As cheesy as it sounds, time and love are two of the most powerful things we have and need. This show made me realize that.
