Hot take: lowell " We are YOU" speech is arguably the best scene in the series (S1 E7)
The scene had everything.. hype, suspense, high emotion, and real stakes. My Lord, when it glitches into the end credits... absolute cinema 🙌. I always get goosebumps watching it.
Hot take: Waxman is more of a villain then Stephen holstrom
I'm currently rewatching the show to make edits, and the more I watch it, the more I realize Waxman did a lot of terrible things and probably should have been banned from being uploaded. People don't really talk about it much. Here are some of the things he did:
1: He lied to his best friend's family( Maddie and her mom)about the upload failing.
2: He actively helped to enslave his best friend btw (David aka Maddie dad) for logarithms.
3: He knew about the flaw before David uploaded and didn't tell him about it, knowing that would have changed his mind.
4: After David escaped, he actively helped logarithms hunt him down for recapture and enslavement.
5: He built a tracking software to hunt the likes of David aka Uis and CIs , which was instrumental in making the virus.
6: in the end he stole David's wife 😭
