If you are active on our MoviesDrop Facebook group then you should probably know that I’m a big fan of Person of Interest (POI). I’m badly waiting for their next season. So I decided to try some other TV series (TV Shows) during that ‘wait’ and I came across plenty of interesting ones. I love any movie or show which has computer technology or hacking screenplays.
Even if it has a single scene, I download the entire movie and watch it. I’m not a coder or programmer myself, but I’m a passionate learner when it comes to technology. In this article, I shared some of the best TV Series based on Hacking and Technology. Apart from entertaining you, they also teach you something about the technology scenario and hacking methods.

I would have to say that Mr. Robot is the best hacker/programmer TV series ever. It’s pretty authentic. I haven’t seen person of interest quite yet but I plan on checking it out, the other shows are great in their own right but aren’t exactly what I’m looking for.
Mr. Robot will easily top the list…
Mr. Robot is the best series ever
Mr robot is cool because the hacks are accurate and real
Scorpion is one of the worst TV series I’ve ever seen (too much pseudo-scientific hogwash).
Mr. Robot on the other hand is one of the best.
Mr. Robot series telling truth about life of a hacker.
Mr Robot is the one of the best in the human planet
Mr.robot is the best
Sillicon vailly on the top and then mr robot season 1 on the top

MR ROBBOT is and will always be the best hack series
Silicon valley is the best this is my sixth time of watching it…u’ll enjoy it expeccially if you are a coder
You can’t be a coder with that spelling, nor can you be a coder and have the free time to watch the same series 6 times.
Scorpion is the best tv series I have ever watched
Tech is my field and watching Mr Robot makes gives me new ideas.. It’s my best series
