Related only tangentially, "bonsoir, Elliot" is a reference to the show Mr. Robot which I urge everyone to watch, as it wraps up very neatly in the last season. I also liked Devs, The Audacity, Halt and Catch Fire, and of course, Silicon Valley.

I've tried to watch Mr. Robot... twice, actually.

There's something about it... perhaps the pacing, or the overall bleakness of the show, that turns me off. I have the same aversion to watching The Office (both UK and US).

It is bleak. But the cinematography is amazing, and I think worth it for that alone.

Maybe even the best I’ve ever seen.

S4E07, e.g. “407 Proxy Authentication Required” was a work of art. Appreciated the whole show, but particularly that episode.

		Indeed, that episode is the peak that makes the entire show worth watching. I like how for season 4 the HTTP status codes do fit the theme of the episode, very clever.

I find the UK Office unbearably bleak and uncomfortable at times, but the US Office is practically a rom-com (or became one eventually).

		It is. But it’s worth watching until the end to see what happens with Tim and Dawn
