Okay, first my honest review is it's one of my favorite shows I've ever watched. It portrays hacking relatively well. It portrays Anxiety and mental issues fairly well for a show. And it's a fantastic execution of the unreliable narrator. If you haven't heard of the unreliable narrator, then go look up the trope so you get the gist of what's going on.

Now for my full disclosure I fell in love with the show before becoming a Marxist. So this has absolutely nothing to do with my Marxist identity now.

Yeah, it's pretty anti-capitalist, and they use the term "revolution" a lot. But it's kind of a bougie revolution, like an anti-technocrat thing.

I wouldn't watch it for any marxist vibes, but in the end I still heavily recommend the show. Even as Marxists can enjoy some regular old TV shows and this was one of the highest claimed and most well-rewarded shows on TV when it came out.

All of that being said, the first season is the best season. I do think it gets a little bit hard to track over time, but the creator of the show built the entire series to be one fluid storyline from the beginning. So I think it's worth finishing. You will literally learn things in the very last season that will affect the first episodes that you're watching right now. I'm not trying to spoil it, but I am trying to get you excited to watch the whole thing. I had to watch the entire series twice to truly come to my understanding of the show and what it really means.
