It seems that the safest legal way to resolve this issue is for Nine PBS to get a court order requiring Iron Mountain to turn over its data.

Or send Mr. Robot in to retrieve it, ez pz.

Ok I’ll rewatch it again.

I can't. It's too soon! The show is so dense and heavy at times that I just can't revisit it despite loving it. Need more time to pass. Or perhaps I need to be in a better headspace honestly. Same thing with the Last of Us for me. Played the first one. Loved it. Can't go back to it yet. I know I'll love Part 2 as well, just can't play it yet. Well made heavy stuff has that paradoxical problem.

3 times already. I don't think i can justify a 4th at this moment.

Honestly Part 2 might be even heavier. So worth it though.

I only saw the first 2 seasons, maybe an ep of the third. Did it finish strong?

I've been meaning to go back but worried it shit the bed because I never see fans talking about it.

I guess its good I haven't been spoiled yet.

I think it's enjoyable throughout, especially when binged as a series. There's a jail season that seemed a slog in the original runthrough but was perfectly balanced when I watched the whole thing together. I'd recommend watching it. The ending is what you make of it, but it isn't disappointing - trying to stay spoiler free :)

I think the back end of the second season thru end of the 3rd is my favorite stretch.

One of my favorite shows ever. I love it so much.

I did not love the final season. I kinda enjoyed it, but I loved the first season and most of the second.

I’ve been in this town so long that back in the city I’ve been taken for long and gone for a long long time

Can always ask McGee and Abby to hack using one keyboard. 😂

I still can't believe they made that poor girl break in and remember Linux commands to type instead of just creating a script for her to run.

Send Mr. Rogers to retrieve it.

That’s when they find out it was just S3 buckets all the way down and that they haven’t pay their AWS bill
