Goofs
When Diane ends her call with Will (around 4 minutes in), you can see her phone is upside down. When she's on the phone, you can see the headphone jack near her mouth and when she brings the phone down after hanging up, the charging jack has been near her ear. On the model of iPhone used in this shot, the headphone jack is still at the top. The original iPhone charger didn't allow much room for a headphone jack at the bottom.

Quotes

Hard to follow but interesting anyway

When Alicia's son Zach works on her computer, I can follow his explanations to her. This show has computer experts that: ghost other computers, take over other computers, and follow intricate paths between computers based on IP addresses, etc. I am lost. The main story line is interesting and, from what I read on IMDb, it is based on a true form of currency used by some computer sites. Still it is complicated in the details. I do not understand how Kalinda arrived at the conclusion she did. Given all that, I liked the show.

Archie Punjabi gets an opportunity to be featured in this episode. I liked that too. The side story involving the state attorney's investigation of the law firm and the efforts to get inside information was almost more interesting than the computer/bitcoin problems.
