I thought the pilot was really strong, looking forward to the rest of the series.

"Hipster" stopped being a negative like years ago. It's - and really always has been - a completely meaningless descriptor.
Oh shit he was Kenny, I remember that show

I just saw the Pilot and it was really good. I hope Christian Slater doesn't kill this show.
Describes pretty well where I'm at. Might as well give it a watch.

Honestly after re-watching the pilot, the Fight Club parallels are so heavy that I think it would be much more surprising if the writers didn't do this. I'm already preparing myself for the disappointing reveal.
I'll probably still enjoy the show immensely anyways if it keeps up the quality of the pilot

Is Ubisoft taking notes cause this is what WatchDogs was supposed to be
Was OK. Felt like it was trying way too hard to be cool, but still better than most of the other new shows I've been trying lately (Sens8). At least this hooked me in episode one. I'll give it a full season to grow on me. Does Hulu Plus get this show? Having to watch it on live TV reminded me why I don't watch live tv (commercials, no pause).

That was a strong pilot. The lead actor and the score put it over the top for me. I'm also getting some heavy Fight Club vibes, so I hope they don't do what it looks like they are going to do with CS. Please don't let it be that obvious.

Music was phenomenal. Like with Hannibal, it absolutely fit so well... elevated it.
It's not called Evil Corp, it's E Corp. He only hears Evil Corp in his head each time the company is named.

He also sees it as "Evil Corp" in hallucinations.

Same here though I totally forgot about the show until this jogged my memory, I was thinking he was the best friend in The Hard Times of RJ Berger and I'm not sure why beyond it being a long time explains why I couldn't remember his role on the show, he wasn't in it. I can actually remember his character now in bits and pieces of his work on the War at Home and that's all I can remember.
I hope USA doesn't run this into the ground like they did with Suits.

So is it worth a watch gaf?
I would say yes, huge surprise for me, Pilot is worth watching for score and lead alone.

I really enjoyed the pilot last night. I'm in for the time being
Watched the pilot a few weeks ago on YouTube and saw it again last night. Will stick around and see where it goes, cause I liked that quite a bit.
He's probably hallucinating quite a bit of people, but I don't know how they'll make that twist go. They won't go full Beautiful Mind I don't think.

Watched the pilot and was really impressed.
Hopefully they can continue the same quality throughout this season and the next.

He's editing his own reality: note how other people adopt his name for them, and gradually start calling it Evil Corp throughout the episode. I thought it was a lovely touch and fit the Fight Club vibe perfectly.

I feel like i'm the only one who didn't like this pilot a lot. It was ok. People calling it "best pilot in years" are crazy. Is this your first TV Show in the last 5 years?
As for what i didn't like. Writing was meh. A lot of bad lines, heavy technical terms dump "you see, we know stuff".
Main character is a hacker, so of course he's socially awkward and with some serious mental problems.
Whole theme of the show that the corporations or corporation is evil, is so stupid. It's an attempt to be deep and edgy, but in reality it's such a stupid non-issue.
Directing and score were good.
And i honestly didn't even think that Christian Slater's character might be in his head until i came to this thread.
Probably won't watch next episode.
