Hand down one of the very best TV shows I've ever seen, holy shit. I started watching the show knowing absolutely nothing about it other than the font for the title card was the Sega font. I actually thought it was a comedy cartoon prior when all I'd heard was the name. I had no idea it was about technology or capitalism or anything. Took me a little while to get through the first season, I watched it slow, and by the end, I couldn't tell if I liked the show or not. The Season 1 ending felt really, really confusing and rushed in a few ways and I kinda felt like maybe the show could have ended right there and been ok. I actually took a couple of weeks to return because I didn't find myself enthralled with season 1, felt like the ending to season 1 was a little to high on it's own product, and that I couldn't figure where the show could possibly go from there.
Then I started watching season 2. And I didn't get up off my couch again until the end credits to the series finale were rolling. Holy fucking shit, what a show. I see online that some people are really upset that they never showed White Rose's machine or master plan, but I actually loved that ending. It, to me, felt like it let the show go batshit crazy into hard scifi without straining its credibility. You're like "time travel and alternate dimensions doesn't fit this story at all..." and thus, it never happens.
Gotta say, that final stretch, when F Society returns at the climax with that broadcast that exposes The Deus Group is some Grade A Rage against the Machine anger-porn, what a great moment.
Awesome, awesome show. I dunno why, but the phrase "Goodbye, friend" gets me.
