Eerily similar to 2016 election!


Anna Gunn is like Hillary Clinton.
Benji Akers is like Donald Trump.
Anna Gunn's boyfriend is like Anthony Weiner.
The assistant, Erin, is like Huma Abedin.
The investigator woman is like the FBI. However she also has the idealism of Bernie Sanders. Like Sanders, she spends most of her time fighting with Anna Gunn and scores a few victories, but ultimately she's outgunned by the corrupt system, and totally misses the real target (Akers).

Plot similarities:
Naomi tries to play the system just like Hillary Clinton, but is screwed over.
The previous failed deal by Naomi is like Hillary Clinton's failed 2008 campaign, that she was trying to redeem herself from.
The privacy company Naomi champions is like Clinton's obsession with privacy.
The privacy company getting hacked is like Clinton's emails getting hacked.
The rumors that the privacy company is not secure is like the rumors Clinton was hiding something.
The last minute blog story that Naomi wakes up to before the IPO is like the last minute FBI story before the election.
The unexpected breakdown of the IPO is like the unexpected breakdown of the Clinton campaign on election day.

In both cases, the real bad guy wins.

You left out one important point, the power of social media news, and oftentimes fake news!!
