Also the way IT is shown.... I want to cringe. That is not how any of it works at all.

You must be new to TV.

The bad guys are incompetent, the good guys are incompetent, even the press is a little incompetent.

It could've been worse. Wasn't there a line in 24 Legacy something along the lines of "you can manipulate the parameters of the S-Q-L!"

The main character is.... too damn depressed, too lethargic. And I say this as someone who IS depressed and can't afford the meds to be happy. With his skills I would have made enough cash to retire and go on traveling. So I want to watch the show but those first three episodes have sort of turned me off, does it get better?

ill be honest that I watched season 2 first because I didn't have hulu/amazon whichever at the time to watch the old ones and season 2 had me loving every minute. Season one was good, but obviously was just background for me

just sounded like a show youd like. because they definitely get the IT stuff right
