Especially since all of the younger generations are waiting for the Boomers to die off, thinking that politics would magically change as soon as that happens.

No, there's plenty of younger replacements ready to spew out their batshit-crazy ideas.

I'm not talking about this show. I'm talking about the other they do, like Wednesday and Tiger King. Never would have zoomed up to the top had they not put those shows on a pedestal already.

And then the article campaigns that kept getting posted on Reddit. You could throw a stick and hit some article gushing about Andor or Wednesday.

It's the most talked about because the journalist talked about it.

There's thousands of new shows being produced each year, and only the lucky few that have the money to pay journalists for articles will get anywhere. Or ones that are actively being promoted by their streamer service.

Let's not spoil anything about the story, shall we?

A special bonus: As a computer programmer, I appreciate how well-researched and crafted all of the hacking scenes are. Just about every other show with Hollywood hacking makes me cringe. It makes real hacking tense and exciting while still being realistic. The r/itsaunixsystem sub tries and fails to find anything at fault with the show.

There's an early S1 example where he's trying to figure out some guy's password, and tries a dictionary attack (running through a bunch of common passwords). It actually doesn't work, and realizes he should hunt for personal data on his Facebook account to get there. If it was some Hollywood show, he'd get the password in ten seconds and it would have some goofy GUI interface to tell him he "Hacked the Gibson" or some shit. The art of the craft is weaved into the story rather well.

The router S2 episode also comes to mind, but I won't say anything else because of spoilers.

Given that they could have used a slightly different tone and not get a fine, it still seems like a decent enough deterrent.

You saved me no such click. The Register is worthy of anybody's read, and the article was informative.

> Hard original sci-fi is a tough sell

I find this very surprising. Hard original sci-fi is in such short supply that all sci-fi fans jump on whatever is available.

The usual arguments by studio heads are about the larger budget, not the popularity.
