10/10
Quite entertaining cyber thriller!

I am impressed with this series. Norton Inc., Yahoo, and the other producers have done very well to make this series. I am a computer person and I consider the technical details in this series to be an excellent blend of current real technology including software and some futuristic elements to them. The cast did quite great work in their roles. Very believable and entertaining as a ex-hacker female action star, eccentric and humorous hacker with a cool style, cyber crimes police officer and boyfriend, egomaniac hacker villain, as well as the other parts. I think that one key at least I appreciate in watching these kind of films is to appreciate the concepts the story and genre aims for and not get hung up on little details. For example, just enjoying watching the make shift team of white hat hackers with unique personalities doing battle with the nefarious black hat team through out physical, cyber, and wit battles is really enjoyable. Incidentally in this case, I think with Norton's help, the computer elements were quite realistic. The plot has a great blend of classic elements of cyber thrillers and original components of the characters and storyline. Both as a cyber thriller and in general this is a very well made production. While this is a lower budget film compared to major Hollywood productions, it is a valuable addition to the technothriller and cyberpunk genres including films like hackers, takedown, the matrix, and others (btw, I read source material books for those genres also so I think I have a right to say that).
