At least in Mr Robot they talk about real stuff

Mr. Robot was the best depiction of hacking I can think of. It was fairly realistic while being entertaining too. It shows that anybody who actually wanted to be realistic in a hacking movie could do it, they just choose not to.

That's because actual hacking is actually pretty boring, from an external viewpoint at least.
