Anyone else watching this new show (on USA network)?

I was amazed at the technical accuracy of the first 15 minutes of the first episode but things have gone a bit down hill (technically speaking) since then.
I do like that they use terms and acronyms without feeling the need to explain them (e.g. "AFK" and "IRC"), but the concept that an employee at a cyber-security firm would need a "root kit" explained to them is an absurdity.

The show is still very entertaining and I suspect it will do very well.

Someone described a drinking game where when watching one of those crime/tech shows and they describe their job in detail to someone who knows the job, you drink.

2nd and 3rd episodes of season 1 or 2? Because there's a second season... So far...

Wired seems to think as of June that "it's actually good now" (http://www.wired.com/2015/06/watch-halt-catch-fire-now/), there's also strong suspicion from a bunch of other sites that season 3 is gonna happen.

I started with season 2, loved it and went back to season 1, so maybe skip the rest of s1?

I think we were talking about the TV show Mr. Robot. I heard that the second season has already been picked up (though not actually filmed yet), and only 3 episodes of the first season have been aired.
