A promising new tv show that seems to use actual pentesting & computer science terminology correctly

I just finished watching the first episode of what seems to be a pretty epic show based around hacking , it appears to be a bit more realistic compared to shows like person of interest and crime dramas that use the term ' cross reference ' to the extreme .
The name of the show is ' Mr Robot'.
From what i have gathered from the first episode the main character is an IT professional working (outsourced) in the infosec department of a global conglomerate , without giving too much away the main character is an introvert with a disdain for society yet he feels a need to act the part of a vigilante with incredible IT skills .
Within the first episode his entire world is changed when a DDOS attack of colossal proportions takes down the servers he is in charge of , however upon inspection of the downed servers the situation becomes more sinister .
If i had to describe the main character in a sentence it would be ' an introverted Dr House working in the infosec field .'
@wendell I think this may be something you and tek members might find interesting

Been watching it since the release of the pilot and it's actually pretty good. Huge cliff hanger in the most recent episode.
