That kind of stuff is precisely why I don't want to watch it.
I did see the normal CSI episode that set it up, and couldn't take it all too seriously.
The commercials for cyber also just annoy me.
It's probably actually because I come from that 'enlightened' background...
Before I knew anything much about the subject, it probably wouldn't have bothered me.
I see the show a little too much as being a mockery of programming/hacking, and computer forensics, in addition to being a marketing ploy to stay relevant with current events. (which arguably are not entirely because of hackers, but because of crumby or non-existent security to begin with, but that's a topic for another thread.)
Seeing how I was initially raised on all those misconceptions about hacking and programming, I really dislike associating myself with these ideals and beliefs, now that I know more of the real facts behind it all. Same applies for cyber crime.
It's hard to explain really, everything, but there's a point for me which crosses the line between humorous, and cringe-worthy.
Maybe I'll watch it, but IDK. I'm not particularly great at observing easter eggs, animation errors, and such, either, so it'd kinda be a waste of my time to watch it just to pick-up details like that. There'd have to be more to it than that. Can try the satire approach, but I feel it's going to be more annoying than funny, honestly.
I'm glad you can appreciate it, though.
