This is a sexy hacker drama

In the 73rd Golden Globe Awards that just closed, "The Hacker Corps" defeated high-reputation TV series such as Ice Fire and Druglord, and won two awards for the best drama and best supporting actor in the drama category. This is undoubtedly this time. The biggest dark horse in the award ceremony.
But after the results of the awards were announced, netizens held opinions on the show. As a veteran American drama fan, I think this drama still has its reasons for winning.
Elliot, the protagonist of the film, is an ordinary cybersecurity company employee, a humble ordinary citizen. He has social barriers, is not good at communicating with others, and cannot face others squarely. Elliot almost only wears a black sweater in the play. He is used to wearing a hat on his head and hands in his pockets. Low-key seems to want to leave no trace in this world.

Elliot is not just a system operator, he is also a "just" hacker, watching everyone in the corner of society, just like a comic hero, doing things to punish evil and promote good , But his behavior did not receive people's attention. Because he learned too many secrets, he saw everyone through, and he began to hate this society. Until one day, he met the hacker organization-fsociety, or founded fsociety. And their goal is to defeat Evil, which is deeply ingrained in the world economy and powerful enough to control the lifeline of the world economy, and format all its servers and backup files. This will wipe out all information about people's debts, loans, and mortgages. So as to complete the largest property redistribution event in history.

It would be a good selling point to add a split personality to the protagonist in a US drama. In this play, the male protagonist has taken the split personality to the extreme. In each episode, the thoughts that appear in the male protagonist’s mind will appear in the form of narration, and the audience will involuntarily follow the male protagonist’s thoughts and actions. Ellio is like a bomb, I don't know when it will suddenly detonate. He encountered too many setbacks in the action, and he would resist at all costs for the sake of his friends, but fate kept playing tricks on him.
The pictures of this play are mainly composed of cool colors, appearing low and cold. Its slow-paced plot development makes many viewers uninterested. If you watch the last episode, you will find that everything before this, no matter how ridiculous or unreasonable, will have a perfect answer in the last episode. It's such a sexy and refined American drama that exudes an unstoppable sense of depression everywhere. It can win the best drama award. I think "The Hacker Legion" deserves it.

    The biggest shortcoming of this show is that the protagonist didn’t get involved with the perverted president.

    Such a feeling of secondary disease...
