    Absolutely love this show and I am in for the long haul. Perfectly timed commentary and probably a LOT more truth than fiction. It is well cast and I already care about many of the characters.

    Amazing pilot. The reviewer that said this is a Scorpion knockoff is completely off-base. This is much more intelligent with better writing and acting, and is not dumbed down for the masses like Scorpion is. That show was cringe-worthy when I tried to watch it, this one is enthralling.

    The pilot episode I was riveted to the screen, it has managed a small number of episodes of a TV show lately.
    Creative ideas, almost anarcho communist ideas.
    The fight against large greedy conglomerates is the only justice in this world.
    Great acting, great premise.

This new show on the USA Network is all about high-level computer programming and hacking and I found it to be absolutely terrific. The series hits the network on June 24, but the first episode is now readily available On Demand, at the IMDb and USA websites, and I am sure at many other places. Somebody is doing an excellent job of promoting this show though I only spotted it today.

    Christian Slater is ostensibly the star of the show, but in that first episode, the real star of the show is Rami Malek, previously unknown to me though he has been in a number of feature films. Malek’s low-keyed performance is just right for his brilliant, but socially inept, character. The rest of the cast, certainly including Mr. Slater, does a fine job too.

    Another major star of the show is writer, Sam Esmail, who has managed to make information technology and hacking exciting and suspenseful. I checked him out on IMDb, finding only a short list of what appear to be non-stand-out movies before the TV series of Mr. Robot appears.

    I am not crazy about the title of “Mr. Robot”. The word “robot” has been tied to too many mediocre TV shows and movies for it to be an asset. But, if you react negatively to it, do NOT let that push you away from this series. Let’s hope that Mr. Esmail, Mr. Malek, et al can maintain the intensity and fascination level of the first episode.    … Expand

    Mr Robot is the most original and compelling series I've watched since breaking bad. The main character Elliot played by Rami Malek does an incredible job of being relatable and believable. Each character is tied in perfectly and the story has so many twists and turns. Amazing!

A strong theme of sexual perversions and drug use hidden beneath layers of cyber terror and conspiracies. All of these winning elements are sent into the stratosphere on the shoulders of Ramy Malek's PERFECT performance. I hope to God Hollywood is taking notice of a legend being born right in front of us. Now that I've established the fact that the show is perfect, I need to point something out. All of the negative user reviews are referencing how offended the viewers are by the subject matter of the show. (S&M, gay sex, drug use, etc.) This is a testament to how stupid most people are and how USA is striving to get better content. We live in the Golden Age of Television and FX and AMC are dominating the basic cable programming. A&E released Bates Motel to keep up. History did Vikings. Now USA wants a piece of the action and they chose wisely. Now your typical USA viewer was expecting something "fun for the whole family" and terrible like Royal Pains, and what they got was Mr, Robot. If you're an adult and you can handle non-Christian views in your programming then enjoy. If you're a monster D, don't bother. This show is way above your pay grade.… Expand

    My only issue with the show is the lack of logic behind the fact that he buys drugs in person, instead of through the Darknet/Tor which he mentions on the show, yet never addresses why he, an addict hacker, doesn't buy drugs off of it. While I get the fact that it adds a meaningful relationship and plot line to the show, it doesn't make sense for him to not use something that is safer, more reliable, and completely inline with his profession and lifestyle.    … Expand

    mean it delves into very real and precarious situations that we as

    I've now had a chance to watch the entire first season of Mr. Robot, and I have to say that despite the weird cyber-speak dialogue, I loved the way it created these bizarre strands of complexity and through the skillful manipulation of the screenplay along with great direction it managed to twist and turn those strands into a very impressive basket of intrigue and suspense.

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.

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.
