Best Romanian series I've seen in a long time, possibly ever.
My only beef with it is some weird car rides in the city (going for long rides from one place only to end up in pretty much the same place as before when you're supposedly in a hurry - but I get that it's a work of FICTION, don't you worry about that) and some weird lines here and there. But it's really good! And it gets better and better as it progresses. The plot is unexpectedly believable.
I've seen people give this a low rating and complain that it's not based in Ramnicu Valcea (supposedly the REAL Hackerville), which is pretty funny to me since I live in Timisoara and saw a neighbour on the news getting arrested for hacking into the Pentagon server a while back but whatever. Just because it's not the REAL Hackerville doesn't mean it isn't good. It's a title. And it's just the first season. Feels like it could go Valcea at any moment.
Halfway through the season it starts to feel undercooked tho. And the ending is weird. Alright peace.
