Has anyone else been watching Mr. Robot? Currently airing on USA, it is a modern cyberpunk hacker-drama. I am actually really impressed with it thus far.
It's so Demon.
Don't you fucking dare make me want to play Demon, asshole. It may inspire a firebrand hacker Carthian Mekhet.
There are no spots on Eldritch now, and Eerie posted there won't be any again for months, so.

@Wizz Yeah, my roommate is trans and genderqueer, and I totally recommended the show to them, but I was also like BUT HERE'S A FUCKING HUGE-ASS TRIGGER WARNING BEFORE YOU START. I am not trans and I've never been the victim of any forced hospitalization, but it squicked me hard.
Man, it's like I didn't even say that exact same thing a few pages back in this thread.

Okay? Certainly it's been a big topic of conversation across the board for the show. I was just reacting to Wizz reacting "live" to the storyline. I wasn't trying to claim being the first person on the thread talking about it being a rough bit to watch.

Sorry! I probably shouldn't have looked at anything involved other people today. I was super cranky earlier.
It was really, really rough to watch. It got much better and was pretty awesome, but yeah that part of the show was really heart strings hard.

No worries! I feel like every feeling person in the world who watched is in agreement on that point. I was mostly confused tbh.

Maybe they're trying to thin out the herd.
To zero.

I just finished Episode 3, and holy shit do I love this show. If you look at it the right way, it's also very oMage.

I started 'Dark Matter' tonight. oh my god is this fun!
Non-spoilery:
A crew of six people wake up out in deep space with no memory of their mission, who they are, or anything.
Slightly spoilery:
Don't hit Five, or Two will fuck you up.
(Also: Two is amazing.)

Also, if you want to see why I think a Demon: The Fallen post-apoc game would just be awesome, you should start watching Dominion. IT IS SO COOL...except for all the Chosen One bullshit, haha.

Not sure that I would call this show a good benchmark for anything. The concept is (sort of) cool, but the show itself is... nnnngh.

@Coin
It's not a good benchmark for anything, it's SyFy. But it's still a lot of fun so far, again if you can ignore Big White Aryan Jesus.^_______^

@Coin I really like Dark Matter! I'm not sure how much I'm feeling Killjoys, tho.

Yeah. I thought it would be the opposite, but.

Because we don't have a BAD TV Thread, I am catching up on The Strain.
I think @Coin should share his custom VtR 2nd Edition Devotion.

...Yeah, redacted, this show's writers have already begun drooling on themselves by the third episode. I was starting to skip whole segments of the show because of Blonde Sketchy-Ass Jesus' character arc. BUT GODDAMN MAN THE POTENTIAL :metal:

I thought about watching this show. But the ads and posters and stuff for it had a worm thing crawling into an eyeball.
Eyeballs are a squick factor for me. I cannot deal with eyeball mutilation.

Ugh I literally was just angry for like a whole month because of those posters being wrapped on buses all over the city and I had to see it all the time.
