WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Well, right off the bat, I'd like to say that if you're looking for robots, there are none here. Sadly! But maybe what it does have will interest you... Do you like obsessive, unhealthy relationships between enemies ala Hannigram or Villaneve? Do you like canonical gay and lesbian relationships? Do you like fucked up family dynamics and characters being haunted by their pasts? Do you like morally grey characters or shows where you're not sure whose side you should be on? Do you like unreliable narrators? Well, maybe Mr. Robot is for you!
Basically, the show follows a young hacker named Elliot, played by Rami Malek. He works for a cybersecurity firm called AllSafe, but they're a frequent client of a larger corporation called E Corp (which Elliot refers to as "Evil Corp") that Elliot detests because they control so much of the economy. Elliot's psyche is plagued by constant paranoia and delusions, and he deals with it and his social anxiety by constantly hacking everyone he meets. One night he's approached by a mysterious anarchist named Mr. Robot (played by Christian Slater) and invited to join a secret hacking society called fsociety and help them with their plan to hack E Corp and eliminate debt. And that's just episode one--things get way more complicated and exciting and the show has a lot of twists that you will not expect.
There are currently 3 seasons, all with about 10-12 episodes, 40-50 minutes each. The final season, season 4, premieres on October 6 of this year and the finale will be in late December.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): It's available on Amazon Prime for free with your Prime subscription, or can be rented/ordered online.
