The head of security of a tech company sitting on the biggest discovery of all time leaves a lower level employee alone in his office?
That same head of security just takes that lower level employee's word for it that Lily is schizophrenic? Without doing any research?
They let Sergei into a facility so secretive that it's electromagnetically suspended and fully shielded, with a watch on? I'm shocked that they wouldn't have people exchange their entire wardrobe when entering and leaving as well as getting full cavity searches and full body x-rays coming and going.
A cutting edge 70 year old coder? IT people can't even keep their jobs much past 50 these days.
They fake a self immolation with doubled flames to cover up a murder? And law enforcement didn't catch it? Nor did they determine time of death to dispute the faked time of death?

actually I like the series. modified footage, like deepfakes could be common practice. People willing to help being tortured into backing off... I'm sure cover ups like these could happen ... ;D

The entire point of the show is that what happens, happens. Forest and Katie know exactly how things are going to play out. We have a clue early in the piece when Forest tells Kenton not to bother quitting the cigarettes.
I'm not sure that what Stewart et al are doing is actually 'coding' since this stuff doesn't exist in the real world. Could be pure maths, theoretical physics or something else entirely. The whole quantum computing stuff (as depicted) is just a literary device to carry the idea. Not sure whether to call that a MacGuffin or a flat out deus ex machina, but it is a fantastical device that has to be accepted for the story to hold. I don't believe in wizards, but I'm still able to enjoy Harry Potter. ;-)
You can fault the premise of the story if you please but the events as depicted are consistent with that (admittedly ridiculous) premise.

You know, in 2021 those failings that the OP highlights don't seem so out of place anymore... We've seen more ridiculous things happen IRL... lol
