    I really love the story of Mr Robot although, if I was being harsh, I can definitely see all the media it gets much of its inspiration from. To its credit, I don't think it tries to obscure or hide these influences and it is good enough that it still holds its own.

    I love the acting of the core actors but I do think the wider cast is not 100% quality and some lines felt a little wooden.

    Elliot, is really drawing me in. He's so fantastically flawed, beautifully destructive, sane and insane. His outlook on the world is perhaps pessimistic, or arrogant, but there is a truth in his words - his inner dialogue that comes across as well-written poetry. By the time you're on episode four, the confusion somewhat kicks in. This is okay though, as each character is slowly becoming themselves in the show and synchronizing. I can tell how each character is going to intertwine for the most part - but Elliot is the main attraction. I believe there are people out there who are like him; snorting Morphine 30's and taking Suboxone so he doesn't withdraw - a computer genius and natural poet, and a complete sociopath who abuses his power over computers and the internet to understand the human condition and even himself. This show is well worth your time; I think even the older crowds (I'm 22) - so basically people who would be my parents, can learn something from this show. They can catch a glimpse of what we're all really like: Sociopathic internet nerds who tweet and text and share, passing information around this sterile country as if it's the very air we breath. This show captures the current zeitgeist, or overall spirit of the times    … Expand

    Alors, ils vont hacker la Evil Corp pour un monde meilleur et liiibre... oui, il y a un peu de SJW là-dedans. Mais aussi la diversité du vivre ensemble et la valse et la foire aux clichés. Car si la série semble plus ou moins vraisemblable, elle s'écarte bien trop souvent d'un quelconque réalisme. En tout cas, c'est clairement divertissant, à la manière des jeux Watch Dogs par exemple.

    Mais si c'est divertissant et parfois carrément drôle, c'est surtout parce que Monsieur Robot n'a plus toutes les lumières allumées là-haut... il est complètement cinglé. Et ça, la série nous l'explique au fur et à mesure et au fil des saisons jusqu'à atteindre un paroxysme à la moitié de la saison 3. Plus que le hacking, "Mr. Robot" est en effet une série sur la maladie mentale !

    Et ce n'est pas que lui (excellemment incarné par Rami Malek), c'est aussi la majorité des personnages tous aussi tarés les uns que les autres... une galerie de fous et un asile à ciel ouvert en somme. Si ces excès sont plaisants, ils deviennent néanmoins fatigants à force de répétition et ne servent par vraiment l'intrigue principale. Les personnages de Wellick (le Suédois dépressif) ou de la blondinette aux yeux globuleux par exemple ne servent en fait... à rien ou presque. Et sont incohérents dans leurs comportements ou leur motivations.

    Oui, on sait qu'ils sont dingues d'accord, mais tout de même ! on pourrait se passer d'eux aisément et on sent bien qu'ils ne sont que des bouche-trous en définitive. Par ailleurs, le grand complot international et délirant est surtout trop délirant pour qu'on y croit un peu plus que ça... c'est simplet, caricatural et symptomatique d'une paranoïa typiquement américaine (non, c'est pas les Russes cette fois, c'est les Chinois !).

    En dépit de ses divagations et même de ses provocations (progressistes), en dépit de sa réalisation de plus en plus maniérée et malgré son essouflement regrettable lors de la seconde moitié de la troisième saison, la série parvient à nous surprendre et sait à peu près garder le rythme -à défaut de garder le cap.

    A l'issue de la troisième saison cependant, on se demande comment ils vont parvenir à conclure ce merdier (les scénaristes ou le scénariste en question) car ça part totalement en vrille. Le personnage "White Rose" est à l'image de la série finalement : dingue, machiavélique et signe d'un agenda vraiment douteux... et de mauvais goût. Heureusement, le petit hacker qui se hacke lui-même régulièrement reste à la fois drolatique et assez fascinant.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show is not about hackers or hacking and stuff like that, saying this would be like say that "Rocky" series is about boxe for example, wich isn't, Rocky is about life. Mr. Robot is about mental illness and about living the life and how you do it.

    There are a lot of different aspects inside the mental situation, Elliot Alderson is the main character, and right at the beginning the show already gave a huge good hit, wich is to make we, the audience, Elliot's consciousness, wich is fantanstic, because we are inside of his head and he is all the time speaking with us, making questions, analyzing and a lot of other good stuff that wouldn't be possible if this wasn't the case, and considering that he has multiple crises, existential, anxiety and more, it is really interesting to know what he is thinking of what is going on or from who he is speaking to.

    It is great that we know things from his perspective, we don't know things that he doesn't, yes we do see things that he don't, but not extra crucial things, there are a lot of moments where people around him know something that he forgot, but we are in dark just like him, trying to think of something together, that is so nice, and give some possibilities that turned out to be a giant and so dope plot twists, wich is about Elliot's family. As soon as he kissed Darlene and she was acting mad and Elliot didn't knew what was going on and Darlene said that he forgot who she is, i was already like expecting something big, but not that big, the fact that Darlene was Elliot's sister the whole time and she knew that the whole time changed so many things, and we not knowing that with Elliot while everyone around did was so surreal and well done, we could just go back and rewatch that we would see things completely differents between them, but as much as his father. About his father, there were some clues, about what was actually happening there, i did indeed suspected because of some dialogues, first, during the pier, where he pushes into the water, them there was some moments that felt strange how people reacted of some actions that he did, and i was suspecting already, but in any moment i was sure, so when it really showed what was going on, it was still a strong hit. That gaves some many possibilities for the next stuff, Elliot could have forgot about so many things and his mind state can reach so many different potential.

    The philosophical parts are also huge and fantastic, the show covers a lot of thinkers, culture in general that talks about some good stuff, for example, existencialism, in a lot of moments we discuss with Elliot if we are real, the final speech of his father was so strong, what is real? All the time we are being exposed to marketing and people telling us what to do, what to think, what to feel about this and that, what is real? We are even controlling ourselves, or the invisible hand is? Our debts are comanding our attitudes? Are we really free? This show can make we questionate so much and really put some effort in us, make we think in what path we really are.

    The mental illness aspect was so good in this show, probably perfect, for sure a lot of people suffers from something about that, Elliot got so many and you see it acting on him, the doubts, the feat, not knowing how to speak sometimes or how to react in some way that would be acceptable by others, the hallucinations speaking with you and for you all the time, doing stuff in your place, the feel of being followed and watched all the time, all of this is there, and watching this in fact made me so comfortable, i see a lot of Elliot in me and i think that this helps a lot, i believe that a lot of people does feel like this as well.

    For that to happen well would be necessary a great actor to put us there and Rami Malek is godamn perfect, he make us completely buy all of his illness and his problems, his difficults, the traumas, you see that he is overloaded by so much in his mind, the way that he speaks, that he moves for each situation, he is perfect in many ways. Christian Slatter is also great, he does have a voice and way to act very different from Elliot, wich was great considering that they were the same person. Portia Doubleday in other hand, i don't found here very good, she felt always the same, her face expressions are always the same during the whole show, she does have a good diction, but in expressing not at all. Carly Chaikin is also very nice, her loose way and not taking many things serious really filled the show with joy.

    The story overall it is nice, the parts about Elliot with his familly and mind, so as with his missions are perfect. Now, the parts about the company going up and down, the crimes, Wellick, aren't bad, but i don't that they were perfect on point, it feels that there is some winding about that, so as that there are some moments that i got a bit lost about these moments, the Wellick character may be way to caricato.    … Expand

    It is a curious and intelligent show, it makes you think about many political, social and moral issues. It starts very strong and it is the season that I liked the most. However, the political approach of the series does not seem right to me since it has a clear anarchist and communist tendency.

Then quickly shifts to paint hackers as drugged-out, schizophrenic, homeless, psychopathic nut jobs who will do anything for a “cause” without any thought of consequence. It generates the idea that the best hackers are either being manipulated by the very governments or companies that they despise OR cannot differentiate between a moral code and macroeconomic-sized criminal activity.

    The pace of the show and the acting is really good and they do a lot of things well. But it's quite obvious that these characters are blatantly selling their soul to evil forces. (The Dark Army, Fsociety, AKA Devil figures). I will explain further to make it clear.

    How else would the "lawyer" type that visited Tyrell (season 3 episode 3) know that he hated his father, had been unfaithful to his wife, and had killed someone? The man asks Tyrell 6 questions multiple times that are all a major sin in Christianity. He asks, "Have you murdered, have you committed adultery, do you hate your parents, will you be loyal to me"? These are part of the 10 commandments: Do not worship any other god, do not murder, do not commit adultery, honor your father & mother, do not lie.

    While that doesn't really bother me, it is furthering the stereotype that most hackers are evil. When, in fact, the majority of hackers are only concerned with making security better to protect others. Like anything, it is a struggle between good and evil. But this show quickly blurs the lines into, it's all evil.    … Expand

    This show just didn't click with me. I feel a little unfair because I appreciate the effort the show makes. It addresses interesting topics and has a cast of well-rounded characters. For me, it felt a bit overly dramatized and I don't think the antagonists were written well enough because I didn't really feel that invested in them, neither in a positive nor negative way.

    Season 1 is often very much a copy of Fight Club minus the homoerotic subtexts, but the performances and the depiction of hacking makes the show impossible to put down. Seasons 2 and 3 slow down the tempo, expand upon the politics, allow the characters to grow and shift, and feel generally more mature, yet no less engaging.
