\\nOverview
\\n
\\nThe show is very much a modern Fight Club, and it knows it.
\\n
\\nRight off the bat, they present the goal of fsociety as erasing all the world\\u2019s debt.
\\nElliot addresses the audience directly as the narrator. Mr Robot grounds this in the show\\u2019s world by presenting the audience as Elliot\\u2019s imaginary friend.
\\nLate in the season they use a piano cover of Where Is My Mind? which is the song that appears at the end of Fight Club.
\\nModern not just because of the tech in the show, but also in the fact that it is a TV show with short seasons.
\\n
\\n
\\nHuge focus on cinematography. Almost every shot has framing that is just slightly off from where you would expect.
\\n[Buck] There was a period in the middle of the season where I felt it was just being edgy for edginess\\u2019 sake, and nothing interesting was happening. But then the plot picked back up in the last few episodes.
\\nThey got the hacking terms right (Using AES-256, WPA2 being unhackable, 2FA being important, rainbow tables/easy password hacks based off of pet names, etc.)
\\nWill it age well? Pop culture references, security practices?
\\nAre the people following Elliot real or in his head?
\\n
\\nMain Lesson From Each Episode
\\n
\\n* Use randomly generated passwords, kids!
\\n* Walk your dog regularly, or it will poop on your bed.
\\n* Dinner at your boss\\u2019 place will be awkward as heck.

\\n* Social engineering is the most powerful hacking.
\\n* Don\\u2019t pick up thumb drives from the parking lot and plug them into your work computer (or any computer).
\\n* Be careful when seducing people not to get carried away.
\\n* Time is money.
\\n* Stealing from pricks is okay!
\\n* If you need to hide your fingerprints, just throw a big party at your place!
