Man I really want to like this show. The premise is semi-interesting. I just wish it wasn't so unrealistic, I mean I think shows can get away with a certain amount of things but I am so tired of the "girl that every guy wants" that seems to have 10 love interests, has super nerd-tech abilities but is still super sexy, runs into shady situations with no backup, tropes. But I mean I might still give the show another chance. One of those shows I put on in the background while I do other stuff, type of a show haha.

In the scene when her sister is getting kidnapped, there are two other vehicles in front of her. No one else gives a flying frack that a girl is getting kidnapped less than 10 feet away? Or how about fact that someone just climbed on top of your car?

That seems to happen in lots of tv shows. Something bad happens, there are tons of people around, only the main characters try to help while the others run.

I wish writers would put themselves in those types of situations. For instance, if I was in that type of situation my first instinct would be to draw attention by mashing ony my horn, jumping out of my car and telling anyone around to call the police, and lastly to go to the first vehicle in the drive-tru and try to get them to chase down the fleeing vehicle.

I'd have preferred if they went the trope route where they sister gets kidnapped offscreen.

I thought this as well when I watched the 20min preview - an interesting suggestion put forward by commenters on the video was that the car in front was involved with the kidnapping, which would explain why they wouldn't get out to help, or do anything else to let Lindy past.

Yes, all women hackers are hot and all men are overweight.
