Josh Cooke Made Augie Unlikable and Annoying

Warning: Spoilers
Which was who Augie needed to be. The hacker Augie emerged as unbelievably annoying as he hacked into various sites, only to now find himself pursued by hit men from various international organizations.

When his own personal information is jeopardized by the assassins, now Augie is worried and afraid.

Cooke, as Augie, made Augie unlikable from one extreme to the other, realizing how much he didn't know when he thought he knew so much. It was quite a turn-around in character.

At no time do you root for Augie with what he had done, nor is there any sympathy for him afterwards. It was an interesting transition.

As for the hacking, woe unto those who engage in such behavior, but it seems to be the way of the world these days.

Overall, an interesting episode dealing with the topic.

When the gang sets up a sting at a computer show, it is disrupted by a guy named Augie, who is a master hacker. He is sickeningly arrogant. Probably heading for the nearest ransomware game in town. Because of his talents he has done near irreparable damage. It's hard to like him because he has no off switch. We can see the show slowly coming to a halt. Interesting topic.
