The title of Elliot and Darlene’s favorite (fake) film from growing up, "The Careful Massacre of the Bourgeousie," sounds an awful lot like one of Sam Esmail’s (real) favorite flicks, "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie," directed and co-written by Luis Buñuel in 1972. The fake movie points to the origin of the fsociety mask among other references to come. - CreatorMitchell KriegmanStarsMelissa Joan HartJason ZimblerElizabeth HessAs events unfold in her life, Clarissa explains to the viewer the motivations behind people's actions.
- StarsNancy GraceDavid CaplanSteve HellingFormer prosecutor, Nancy Grace, covers current trials and legal issues, talking to defense attorneys and giving her take on the issue at hand.

When Darlene sets up the E Corp bank hack, her screen says, “Hack the Gibson,” which is not only a reference to the 1995 cult film, “Hackers,” but also a real line in the Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) she’s using, which is real, free coding software. - CreatorLarry DavidJerry SeinfeldStarsJerry SeinfeldJulia Louis-DreyfusMichael RichardsThe continuing misadventures of neurotic New York City stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his equally neurotic New York City friends.S2 EP1 | EPS2.0_UNM4SK-PT1.TC

When Derek is looking for something to watch on TV, he chooses “Vanderpump Rules,” which Joanna has no interest in watching—deliberate irony since Stephanie Corneliussen is friends with stars Katie Maloney and Kristen Doute in real life. - CreatorVince GilliganStarsBryan CranstonAaron PaulAnna GunnA chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student in order to secure his family's future.S2 EP3 | EPS2.1_K3RNEL-PAN1C.KSD
The bald man with the porkpie hat and glasses who ominously appears in the diner in episode 201 returns to snatch Elliot off the street. It’s probably no coincidence that he resembles “Breaking Bad’s” Walter White, who eventually took on the alias, “Heisenberg.” - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJack NicholsonShelley DuvallDanny LloydA family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.S2 EP3 | EPS2.1_K3RNEL-PAN1C.KSD
While this scene is certainly a nod to The Shining, this clip was actually inspired by musician Jenny Lewis' album cover for “Rabbit Fur Coat.” - DirectorStuart RosenbergStarsPaul NewmanGeorge KennedyStrother MartinA laid-back Southern man is sentenced to two years in a rural prison, but refuses to conform.S2 EP4 | EPS2.2_INIT_1.ASEC

When Whiterose as Zhang catches Dom looking for the bathroom, the lines that Whiterose quotes are from a famous scene from Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” when Macbeth finds out Lady Macbeth is dead in Act V, Scene 5. - CreatorPaul FuscoTom PatchettStarsDon FrancksPaul FuscoTabitha St. GermainThe adventures and misadventures of ALF, under the real name Gordon Shumway, on his home planet of Melmac before he crashlanded on Earth.S2 EP6 | EPS2.4_M4STER-S1AVE.AES
When Elliot’s ‘90s family sitcom spoof aired, Sam Esmail tweeted that one of his favorite guest stars made an appearance in this episode: Paul Fusco, as the voice (and creator) of ALF, the iconic late ‘80s/early ‘90s sitcom (puppet) extraterrestrial. - DirectorMilos FormanStarsJack NicholsonLouise FletcherMichael BerrymanIn the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.S2 EP9 | EPS2.7_INIT_5.FVE
As Leon introduces Elliot to life at the prison, the book they see Hot Carla is burning is Ken Kesey’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” a seminal novel from the 1960s that’s narrated by a paranoid-schizophrenic character in a mental hospital who has delusions that could be construed as similar to Elliot’s. - DirectorJonathan MorinKun ChangStarsNoam JenkinsR.

Do you think Sutherland has clued into the irony of playing “Watch Dogs,” a game that lets you take on the persona of a brilliant hacker with a criminal past out to avenge a violent family tragedy, while Elliot shops for phone hacking tools? Guessing not. But we have. - DirectorMarcus ColeStarsLauren BacallJean Marie BarnwellJesse Lee SofferTwo runaway kids hide in a museum. Once they are locked inside overnight, they try to solve a mystery about a statue supposedly carved by Michaelangelo, known as "The Angel". Will they solve the mystery in time?S2 EP10 | EPS2.8_H1DDEN-PR0CESS.AXX
In season one, Angela tells Elliot that when she was a kid, she always wanted to be Claudia Kincaid from the classic childhood tale, “From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler,” hence her Wickr screen name. The book also inspired her idea for them to run away from home, though they wound up at the wrong museum. - DirectorRon GilbertA meteor crashes into Dr. Fred Edison's front yard and takes control over him. When Fred kidnaps Sandy, a college teenager, her boyfriend Dave Miller and his friends plan to break into the mansion and save her.S2 EP11 | EPS2.9_PYTH0N-PT1.P7Z
Two of the games loaded onto Whiterose’s C64 are real -- “Maniac Mansion,” which was Lucasfilm Games’ first self-published product, and “Pitfall” from Activision -- but “Land of Ecodelia” is not. Or, at least, not yet. When The Hollywood Reporter asked Kor Adana if there’s a backstory and set of rules for Angela’s game in the writers room, Kor said he wasn’t at liberty to speak about it. - Pitfall Harry must collect treasures while dodging obstacles in a South American jungle.S2 EP11 | EPS2.9_PYTH0N-PT1.P7Z

The presence of Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita” on the desk doesn’t seem to be random: Angela’s response to the “where’s the key?” question is a direct quote from the novel. And don’t forget Darlene’s IRC screen name and her love of heart shaped glasses…
