Trivia

Fsociety uses ransomware to extort E Corp. Ransomware is a form of malware that disables a system or encrypts data and sends a message to the target demanding money to return the system or data back to the target. The ransomware screen includes a nod to the computer hactivist th3j35t3r. th3j35t3r claims to have hacked a number of sites ranging from the Westboro Baptist church, to Wikileaks, including several jihadist websites.

Quotes

Elliot: I still don't understand why people like sports. They get so emotional over the weirdest things. But I do see the beauty in the rules, the invisible code of chaos hiding behind the menacing face of order.

User Reviews

Deeper into insanity...

Season 2 starts with a bold premiere episode/episodes, it delves into Elliot's mind a lot deeper than the entertaining but surface level season 1 and gets a lot darker, almost apocalyptic which is fitting coming off of last season's finale. This episode without the context of the rest of season 2 is understandably confusing and messy but with that context it becomes a much weightier and more important episode. I'm not going into spoilers here but I will say that although I don't agree with some of the criticisms of season 2 I can at least understand them. I'm gonna give this first part an 8.7, it marks a turning point for the story of the show and sets this season's tone apart from the others.
