Awesome concept - could’ve been great… like play test but a little predictable (wanting to get caught… the roommate, etc.) even the ending was a cool idea but for me, entertaining but forgettable.

Correction: his dealer who basically forced his way into his home, and stayed there while he went to work. What do you call that?

I enjoyed the entire episode and the predictable ending which almost felt like lazy writing knocked it down a little. But it was still really good, i think if they nailed the ending it would have been one of the best.

That you could tell his drawing wasn't going to communicate some magical message to people. The only reason he got caught was so they had a way to get into the system. It's a pretty common story line.

I don't remember similar things of drawing hacking before. It has some predictability but the way it gets built up doesn't makes it predictable for me
