content: I watched the pilot then quite, if I watch something cheesy it's usually something actually from the 80s like Knight Rider or something.What I hate about modern shows is when people just plug a PC into an ethernet port or get on the wifi and "hack" stuff. It's not that simple!It would be easier if it was linux since it has a full coding console, so yeah, believable. But something like Windows?! What are they using, a DOS prompt?!I mean sure, you can write batch files and stuff with notepad, but they wouldn't be very effective against high security systems. You would have to have some script writing program with compilers and stuff and actually compile code to have any real chance against a modern high security system. You can't just run a few commands in a prompt and expect to get in!What I would want just for LOLZ would be a script that locks the computer with a guess the word game like in the Fallout games. Just the sight of all those symbols would scare away any non-nerds. And if you failed, an alarm would go off.

content: Quotesure when you look on the unpfficial map:http://www.bueker.net/trainspotting/map.php?file=maps/germany/germany.gifRed means Electrified. All Main Lines are 100% Electrified and have at least 2 Tracks. Its very hard to get from Berlin to Frankfurt on a non Electrified single Track with a nighttrain.Another huge Fail was the Train use the wrong Coupling:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffers_and_chain_couplerIts quite impossible to deattach a Car while driving.

Then running a VM with Kali on a Win host is also standard practice so mwah. If you want a more lifelike hacking scenario, watch Mr Robot, at least they hired security advisors to the showBTW watched one episode and dropped it like a dead fly, bad casting obnoxious actors and stupid scenario. The first and real McGyver was a sympatic actor, i also liked him in Stargate tv series , but still hated that he could escape a maximum security prison with his swiss pocketknife
