while extraordinary hacks are hard to depict, they finally got things right in the 2015 US series named Mr. Robot. sure it took 20 years but that's a hell of a lot better than the wimpy depiction of nuclear explosions in media.

I think that is one of the strongest shows I've seen. Each week, I waited for it to appear on the torrent sites so I could download it. I'd wait until my partner went to bed so I could watch it undisturbed, and I found myself completely absorbed in the show. No spoilers follow:

A couple of episodes in, I did wonder if Christian Slater. (Those who've seen it will know.) I didn't realise that the guy in the finale was from the hard drive shop.

Of course, there was a movie from a few years ago (one that nobody talks about) that has the same premise.
