Absolutely love this mindfuck weaponized split personality disorder hacking anarchist premise. The end of season plot twists that re-contextualize everything are so good.

I really liked it, it was one of my favorite shows for a very long time. Nowadays I think it's very lib, but it still has a special place in my heart and regardless of its politics, it's absolutely a joy to look at, probably one of the most unique looking shows ever.
It also tries some interesting things aesthetically, especially towards the end of the show. I don't know if you've finished it yet, so no spoilers, but there's an episode that goes full Birdman and is just like one continuous shot from beginning to end. Another one is structured like a stage play, another one is like a 90's sitcom, and then all of a sudden you're watching a Lynch-esque surrealistic nightmare episode. It's so unique, and that is a huge virtue when there's so much generic drivel out there.
Edit: also, in a world of shows where nothing ever drastically changes in the setting of the story, I remember how stunned I was when

5/9 actually happens lol
I mean the gimmick episodes are nice but its kind of stand in for no plot at times. I mean yeah the event 5/9 is nice but it kind of afterwards goes nowhere.
Pretty much feel the same looking back on that show as I do looking back on my anarchist phase in general. Cringe, with some real problematic blind spots, but nevertheless kinda good at heart with some cool ideas.
