    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The address that Elliot (Rami Malek) searches on Google - 3027 W. 12th Street Brooklyn - is in fact the actual address of the building on Coney Island used for external shots of FSociety headquarters. (The broken "Fun Society" sign was added by the production.)
    • Goofs
      Angela Moss doesn't know what a rootkit is even though she is working in a cyber security firm.
    • Quotes

      Krista Gordon: What is it about society that disappoints you so much?

      Elliot: [tense music] Oh, i don't know. Is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man, when when we knew he made billions off the backs of children? Or maybe it's that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit. the world itself's just a big hoax. Spamming with our running commentary of bullshit masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy. Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money. I'm not saying anything new. We all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books make us happy but because we wanna be sedated. Because it's painful not to pretend, because we're cowards. F society.

    • Alternate versions
      In the original version of the pilot, Elliot's opening monologue is longer: he explains to the audience that he does not believe dinosaurs existed, but does believe in aliens. Ron's Coffee Shop was originally called Phil's and his dialogue included more of Ron's background. Ollie was an Iranian character named Ali. The role of hacker Romero was recast following the screening of the pilot at SXSW, and the scenes were re-shot. In the original pilot Romero was played by Michael Buscemi, the brother of actor Steve Buscemi.
