Mr. Robot pilot

The pilot for Mr. Robot was surprisingly realistic on the tech side, [major qualifier] for Hollywood. While mentions of GNOME and KDE and other things from anyone but the lead felt like line reads, and the get on a jetplane to save the day single-handedly from the attack was super Hollywood, I'm pretty surprised that they've done their homework on understanding the technology and culture to the point that the details don't distract from the story, e.g. "ps aux | grep root" commands on screen rather than whatever goofy fake screens are usually shown. I can't think of another mainstream show that's done that.

Yep, it was pretty surprising.
