the show is trying too hard to be hip and sell music at the same time. Every time they play a song the artist name and song comes up on the screen,which to me scream we trying to sell you these artists.
I also thought Hackers were suppose to be smart,yet this girl can't tell that someone had hacked her computer and turned on her web cam. The idea is good,someone using a dating app/page for serial killing.Not very original perhaps but not bad.
The execution is however very bad.
They use too many clichés.

*************Warning spoiler****************Warning spoiler************* That scene was so dumb I almost started laughing. They're in a line at the drive in,and her sister has to go to the bathroom,while the driver moves on to the pickup line.
But when her sister gets back she rather stay outside in the pouring rain waiting for the car to come through,even though there are 4cars ahead of her ride. I might have understood the decision, if they had been arguing but they didn't.
And all of a sudden out of nowhere a van comes along and park across the line of cars,and snatch the waiting girl. Nobody reacts,and all of a sudden the cars in front of our main heroine are apparently turning out to be empty. Which is strange considering its a drive through,and they are at the pickup line.
And there seem to be no people at the drive in either.And her car is parked in such a way that she can't open her doors,which gives the kidnapper more time to get away.
