They broke up with their spouses months before this. Then they started openly hanging out in bars and restaurants in Manhattan. They aren't idiots, they knew they'd be outed. They wanted it.

Most Americans had no idea who they are, now all of Americs knows them. They are already rich, and now they are out of their contracts. This widespread notoriety will make them far richer in the long run. Soon there will be the TJ & Amy show, and they will be the Executive Producers.

Yes! I loved that aspect as well. I'm not super well versed in coding or hacking, but hearing that they actually listened to hacking consultants and incorporated a lot of real world stuff into the show was really cool. The interviews with Esmail when he talks about how they really actually cared about getting it as right as they could were always cool to read and listen to. He seems genuinely interested in the culture and work of it. It shows their dedication to character too, hacking is important to Elliot, so getting it right really mattered.

It didn’t start out weird. It actually started out really wholesome where some critic bashed the show and said everything about it was awful even making false claims that the show was racist, and then a bunch of dudes who would normally hate girls’ cartoons checked it out and were like actually this is a good show, we’ve decided to defend it against people who hate it for no reason.
