Favorite underrated / unrecognized TV show? I'll go first. (lemmy.world)

From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

That makes it sound more enticing.

I was asking about the technology. The wiki article said it was a story of a software engineer's experiences and I was asking if the technology portrayed in the show was realistic like it was in Mr robot; it's my field and I'll get turned off to the show if it's laughably unrealistic.

There's no safe way to answer this without giving away plot points, I don't think. Most important thing is that it's sci-fi, not a drama about developers in the way you might expect.

As egrets mentioned, it is more sci-fi tech rather than realistic tech. I don't think it is extremely unrealistic as a proposed idea, but it is something that could never work at the scale shown in the show. In a weird way, the end of the show felt to me like it got both more realistic and more unrealistic. I'm trying not to spoil anything, but I hope that can give a bit more info to decide if you would like it.
