Continue Watching Mr Robot Prime Tv
Now that it's over, I am confident in giving it a 10.
Warning: Spoilers
Even if you don't like it, Mr. Robot is undeniably a very unique show with lots of great ideas. It's biggest crime to this day is how much it stole from Fight Club, which is now more or less forgiven by everyone.
The show is very stylish, it's unique camera angles, I love hoe they play with focus, and zooms. There are a lot of very great little montages, or parts where there is a lot of quick editing. The show's intro alone is unique enough to make people excited for the episode. So the editing is really on point inthe first 3 seasons, but in the 4th season it slows the hell down, and there is an abundance of really long takes, that are really impressive. Some locations in and of themselves are beautiful, and the CG is mostly well done, although it is not a prominent thing in the series, it's just a tool they use to make long takes easier to pull off, and it's pretty seamless, with the exception of a scene from 402 Payment Required.
The whole show and the world of it is full of details. The title of every episode is very closely tied to the story and the fact that they are hackers in the show itself. There are actual websites from the world of the show, reddit pages from 2015 (the year the show is in), and so on.
The descriptions for each episode on Amazon Prime are really funny too.
The story and the motivations of characters always change and the show is many things at once, but it's always about the main protagonists's internal, personal emotional journey, it's the central focus of the show. He is a really likable character.
Mental illness, hacking, and economics are all pretty accurately and realistically predicted in the show, that make the world all the more interesting.
The overall plot is just there so that the characters always have something to do, but the characters are the important and interesting part. All the characters are either lonely, depressed, anxious, or lost, and the show explores them very deeply. All of them are different so it makes for very fascinating scenes.
I don't want to say too much, but watch the first few episodes. If you like Elliot and who he is, than continue with it, and always watch it like it's his show, because it is. It is about him.
Another advice: Watch Season 2 in a short period of time. Lot of people got bored because there is very little progression in a huge amount of time, and for some, it is frustrating. Still, keep watching because Season 3 and 4 are universally accepted as magnificent seasons of television.
Thank you Sam Esmail! You are amazing.

The Most Well Thought Out and Unpredictable Show of All Time.
Warning: Spoilers
This show is genuinely perfect on so many levels. The first season although very reminiscent of Fight Club is still done in such a unique way with unrivalled directing, music and portrayals of genuinely interesting and gripping characters that it sets itself apart from the crowd. Season 2 although seemingly messy and confusing on the surface unravels episode by episode and becomes a much deeper delve into the mindset of Elliot and his alter ego Mr Robot as well as an important part of the overall puzzle presented by the show. Season 3 was at the time of broadcasting my favourite season of television with consistently brilliant instalments every week, including but not limited to Kill Process, Runtime Error, Shutdown and Don't Delete Me. The bold steps taken by season 3 marked a point of no return where they had to go hard or go home with their final season and after a 2 year wait we got what I believe to be the greatest season of television in the history of the media and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Every episode of season 4 is an absolute masterpiece in all respective departments. Mac Quayle delivers another incredible expansion to the score which is one of the staples of Mr Robot and is almost single handedly responsible for its gripping atmosphere, Sam Esmail brings his A game firing on all cylinders in directing and writing giving us shocking and satisfying answers to the questions that need answering and wonderfully frustrating ambiguity to the ones that didn't and the cast are all award worthy, from Rami Malek to Christian Slater, Carly Chaikin to BD Wong, even Joey Bada$$ and Elliot Villar! they all deserve the highest possible praise for their work on this show that they have helped bring to life. Not only is Mr Robot a consistently intriguing and gripping show but it also sticks the landing making its finale its best episode which after Proxy Authentication Required, Kill Process, eXit and Conflict is no small feat. Thank you to all that helped piece together this incredible puzzle and thank YOU for reading this review. I'm going to give Mr Robot a 10/10. Goodbye, friend.

Season 4 - Wow!
I've loved all 4 seasons of Mr Robot but 1 and 4 are definitely the best of the bunch.
Season 4 has been an epic journey so far. The only downside is waiting a week to find out what happens next. Once it's finished i'll be bingeing it all again.
Rami Malek is brilliant as are the rest of the cast.
10/10

I don't want this to end.
I was there when the pilot aired. I loved it since day 1. Season 4 is the best!!! Sam Esmail is a genius. Rami , Christian and all of the cast are amazing. This show is going to end with a bang. I bet the finale will be the highest rated one in tv history. And Rami is definitely going to win his Golden Globe this year too!

Has become my favorite show ever since release
Everything having to do with going against society and conspiracies I crave! Mr. Robot is incredibly filmed, written, and has such an exciting soundtrack! I absolutely love the vibes I get from all the excellent things that happen throughout. Some of the best suspense ever and profound quotes/speeches. Rami Malek has become one of my favorite actors to watch and I have enjoyed Christian Slater quite a lot. I can't wait till I can own season 4 like I own the other seasons.

The final episode was the best montion picture I watched my entire 32 years of life.
Mr. Robot simply changed my life.
I watched over 4175 TV episodes of 92 shows (28 still in production). But the last episode (mostly the last 3 eps) of this masterpiece just broke my heart. I was never so sentimental for characters in any movie. But this time it was like taking place of the action, feeling the anger, the shame, the frustration of Eliot. After watching so much TV, you notice they tend to have similar patterns, similar endings, but not, no. This mind****** me. The only thing that I want more is that I want more of this!
Hats off for Mr. Rami Malek for converting acting into feelings to this level. And thanks to Sam Esmail for being the architect of this masterpiece!
I bow to you!
Thank you.

a rare and indisputable masterpiece
This show is absolutely genius, but it never quite gained the massive acclaim it deserves because it focuses on making every single scene meaningful and visually appealing, rather than coming up with as many quotable one-liners and high-budget special effects moments as possible. In other words, it's very different from other shows. This isn't a show about a villainous main character that people mistake as an antihero. This is a show about control: what people do to gain it, what it does to the world, and how it's really nothing more than a concept that we obsess over. Mr. Robot is the story of its time, and I'm not saying that because it's an incredibly made show. It's more relevant to the country we live in than anything else on television, and perhaps more than any show in history. Think of every critically acclaimed show from the U.S., and ask yourself: were they specifically relevant to what was happening in our country at the time? This show is... and it is terrifyingly accurate. Besides being commendable for its accuracy, Mr. Robot truly rewards its viewers for paying attention to detail, much like The Wire did. Subplots are hinted in one season and left alone until they come back with a vengeance in a later season, and if you remember the hint then you're even more excited by the payoff. There are incredible symbols and motifs throughout every episode, like Elliot's beta fish "Qwerty", the ominous knocking at his apartment door, Price's references to WWI, Elliot's use of computer language to explain his mental state and the crises he faces, and many more. The characters have their own unique motivations for the things they do, and they never make those obvious plot-device mistakes that characters make on so many other shows to get the conflict rolling. Ralphthemoviemaker does a great job explaining why the camerawork is so amazing on his youtube video about Mr. Robot, so I won't bother repeating him, but definitely check it out for yourself. My personal favorite aspect of this show is the villains... they are outstanding. Fernando, Ray, Irving, whiterose, and the rest of the people who try to manipulate the protagonists, they all have a unique perspective of the world and a unique past that warps their moral guidelines. I hope this show gains more praise and recognition for its originality, because right now it is one of the most underrated shows of all time, and those who appreciate excellent television will agree.

a modern masterwork
In my spoiler-free summary of this show, I'm here to express what this show has done to change everything about how I think of serial drama television. I will probably come back to do a follow-up review once the show is finally over because I'm sure this won't do Mr. Robot justice while the main story is still yet to be fully unveiled.
From the performances, the ever-so-slowly unraveling global conspiracy in the story/plot, the characters, the directing, the writing, the cinematography, the set design, costume design, editing, and lighting (and something else I'm sure I must be forgetting), everything is top-notch for me.
What seems to turn people off of this show is how it radically changes in its second season, and even partially through its first season. I guess I can understand this, Mr. Robot isn't a show for everyone. But I appreciate this because I personally felt that Mr. Robot came into its own when it started to get super abstract and philosophical and character-focused later in season 2. That's where I feel like it really became "Mr. Robot" to me. No matter what, the plot moves nowhere before the characters are thoroughly explored. Those are the priorities of the show. The complex conspiracy in the main plot is often cast aside for character study and emotional development because the characters are the most important part of the story. This makes it so that once the full truth behind the conspiracy is ready to be revealed, it'll feel so much more rewarding getting to experience it with all of the characters that have had plenty of time to be thoroughly emotionally explored. Because, in the end, why care about the people in the world of the show if that aspect is being cut short for less impactful story arcs and reveals?
Overall, I'm so happy I discovered this show and there is absolutely nothing like it. It is the most one-of-a-kind serial drama series ever made, truly, and undoubtedly the best television drama of the 2010s in my eyes. And that makes Mr. Robot pretty special to me.
:)

[9.5] Tailor-made for Rami Malek
A series with a complex screenplay, multi-layered plots and ultra-brilliant acting by the whole cast, spearheaded by the ruby-like Rami Malek who personified the character's split-paranoiac personality like a glove. A special kudos to the creator and executive producer, Sam Esmail, for his deeply thought-out screenplay, meticulous execution and impressive choice of actors.
Despite the shows brilliancy and sleek seasons; some filler-like, surrealistic and "philosophical" events weren't to my taste and I always liked it more when the flow was brutally simple, direct, featuring awesome hacking-scripts-writing & execution and Elliot talking to himself. Also, since the beginning, it became clear to me that Christian Slater could have played with more intensity, craziness and gutsy performance. He was too slow and dull compared to Rami Malek and that ruined a little and negatively impacted on their onscreen interactions IMO.
You want to feel real presence tainted with hypnotic intensity, watch Stephanie Corneliussen's performance in the show and you will understand thoroughly what I mean.
A rare, sort of underrated gem in the world of series and IMO, second to 'Dark' in terms of complexity.

Hello Mr. Robot
Just finish watching the last episode to a brilliant series. This is hands down one of the best tv shows ever! EVER! I thought GOT was it but after they botched the last season of GOT, this is flawless from start to finish. Overall, I can't put into words how amazing the entire staff is. From directing, writing, acting, the entire tv show. Amazing! This has breaking bad and GOT beat by a landslide. Amazing ending to a stupendous series. Thank you for providing this masterpiece.

I really didn't think I was going to enjoy this series that much...
But after finishing season 4, my god what a masterpiece.
From the first episode you could tell that the writers knew what they were doing, and knew how to make an entertaining show, with lovable and memorable characters, amazing music, and moments that make you feel. The amount of amazing episodes Sam has created is insane and it makes me wonder why this show has only an 8.5, it deserves at least an 8.8 or higher.
With all that out of the way, here are my ratings for each season.
Season 1.0 - 9.5 amazing start to a series, especially the first episode, a few episodes later it gets less interesting, but after seeing episode 6, 8, and 9, I knew I was in for something special.
Season 2.0 - 8.0 a bit of a weak season tbh, it had some really good moments, especially near the end, but at the end of the day, it's probably the worst season of the show. But it's definitely not bad
Season 3.0 - 9.0 significant upgrade from season 2, featuring some really good episodes such as, "runtime error", "kill process", "don't delete me" and "shutdown-r"
Season 4.0 - 10.0 words can't describe how amazing this season was. From having the greatest opener episode in the show to an incredibly sad series finale, this season will probably be the most memorable other than season 1. Especially with episodes such as "407 Proxy Authentication Required", "405 method not allowed", "eXit", "Whoami", and of course, "hello, Elliot"
bravo Sam, bravo.

Watch it if you want your brain to work continuously.
Mr. Robot is sweeping up all the important awards (Best drama, best actors) and well deserved! When i started to watch this series i didn't expect much, but it has blow me away even in the first episode. A dark story about what is right and what is wrong, and the madness that that question brings. The acting is solid and so is the directing.
This character, 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 - Elliot is just the extremity, of course. A job well done. I give this show a 9/10

More people need to see this gem of a show
Warning: Spoilers
WARNING: *MILD SPOILERS*
I, like many people, didn't know about Mr. Robot until a year ago which is when I decided to give it a watch and ever since then I've been trying to get more people to watch this spectacular show.
Mr. Robot follows Elliot Alderson, a man who is a cyber security engineer by day and a hacker by night. One day, a man named Mr. Robot recruits him into his underground hacking group to destroy E Corp, the largest conglomerate in the world.
It's been a while since I've finished this show and I'm still thinking about it to this day. This is one of my favourite shows of all time. From the opening scene of the first episode alone I knew I was in for something special. This is Sam Esmail's show and he's directed majority of the episodes. There's a particular style Esmail uses throughout that makes Mr. Robot stand out. The range of camera angles, the way scenes are framed and the way every scene is lit makes this show unique and beautiful to look at. I don't think there is a single weak episode in this series. This show's depiction of hacking looks incredibly realistic. The way it's edited and shot make it so intense and entertaining to watch. On top of that we have Mac Quayle's phenomenal score. Whilst I admit it sounds reminiscent of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's work, it fits well with the tone of the show and I love listening to it.
Season 1 is a great introduction into the eerie world of Mr. Robot and its characters. There's a lot we learn about every single character which leads to an epic season finale. It's filled with so many brilliant sequences that's edited marvellously. The dialogues are fantastic especially Elliot's narration that takes us into his mind and help us see the world through his eyes. Season 2 takes a more sombre turn and focuses primarily on developing the characters. It's my least favourite season out of the four but it introduces interesting characters and threats that build up the stakes for the upcoming seasons. Season 3 is absolutely insane. This season amps up the stakes further and gets to a point where the show becomes cinematic rather than just a TV show. Then we have Season 4, a season I believe breaks boundaries and has one of the best endings to a show ever!
I also love how experimental Sam Esmail gets with this show. I always looked forward to the opening title sequence because of how different it feels each time. There's one that acts like a sitcom and one in the style of The Shining. It's very creative and prevents the show from becoming repetitive. Some episodes stand out on a filmmaking and writing perspective. There's one that looks like it's been shot in one take, one without any dialogue and one that takes place in a single location. It's these episodes in particular that elevate Mr. Robot's quality and presentation. Aside from the presentation, this show tackles many themes that are relevant. Its commentary on society, politics and mental illness above all makes Mr. Robot so thought-provoking and interesting. It handles these topics with so much care and the planning Sam Esmail and his team did to convey this through the story and characters is nothing short of astounding.
One of the best aspects is the acting. Rami Malek is absolutely stellar throughout. He embodies Elliot and adds a lot of depth to the character through his expressions especially through his eyes that give a tired look to Elliot. It's a difficult character to play but Malek succeeds in every way. It's so good to see Christian Slater after a long time and he is also fantastic as Mr. Robot. Carly Chaikin and Portia Doubleday do an excellent job as Darlene and Angela. Martin Wallström as Tyrell Wellick is amazing. It amazes me how well he's able to play such a strange and crazy character. Michael Cristofer is brilliant as Phillip Price. I love his voice which makes him a commanding presence in each scene he's in. BD Wong as Whiterose is incredible. This is another role that's hard to play but Wong is captivating all the way through. Grace Gummer is also very good here and I loved the development given to her role.
Despite all the praise I'm giving, this shows still has flaws. The twist at the end of Season 1 where we find out Elliot and Mr. Robot is the same person completely rips off Fight Club and at times Angela's storyline isn't as interesting as the rest of characters'.
Aside from the minor issues I have, Mr. Robot will be an experience I'll never forget. The amount of thought, care and planning that went into the show amazes me. Every single performance is excellent and Sam Esmail is a very talented filmmaker who hopefully continues creating exciting films or shows like this in the future.

The best role by Rami Malek, By far!
Mr. Robot Staring Rami Malek, Christian Slater, and Portia Doubleday is a work of art. While telling the story of a hard working, slightly struggling cyber engineer with a hard drug addiction; it also depicts a realistic representation of how "our democracy has been hacked." It is also a very realistic life story with quotes like, "I should just tell her what she wants to hear," and, "We're all living in each other's paranoia." A must watch for all. There is no better role of Rami Malek than of Mr. Robot's Elliot Alderson.

Truly Brilliant!!
This is the best television series ever created! The writing is superb, the acting sublime, the camera angles crazy and incredible and the acting stunning. The direction uses angles you thought wouldn't work, breaking all the filmmakers rules. The cuts are stunning and the sound and soundtrack a real joy. Yep that's right even the cuts are stunning! The script has you shouting in disbelief and the acting is as real as it gets. If you haven't seen any of the episodes you have missed the greatest television experience of your life. Truly brilliant!

Novel
Going in with low expectation, not knowing anything about this show, the pilot turned out to offer a pleasant surprise. In short, the show is a bit unconventional, like a mix between an audio book and a TV show, but one rather well researched and executed.
The acting is fairly good, the narrative style felt novel and fresh, and there's ample room for various subplots and story lines. The setting also felt real, as others have pointed out. Some interesting creative decisions were made, such as blatantly spelling out the antagonist, a company, by giving it an unmistakable name. It also makes subtle jokes and pokes fun of things probably only people in the IT industry would recognize.
Whereas most shows and movies seem to throw all connection to reality straight out the window when it comes to IT related stuff, this show does not. In fact, it seems extraordinarily well researched for an entertainment piece. Being in that industry myself and having had a bit of "fun" as a youth, I'd have to say that overall the portrayal of IT security and hacking in this show is leaps and bounds more accurate than anything that has come before it, even if the attentive viewer would be able to spot some minute factual errors.
Perchance even entertainment execs have realized they can no longer get away with silly and unbelievable things like "magic picture enhance", nerdy super hackers who as through divine insight guess their targets passwords in 1-2 attempts, or with peddling notions of tools that have weeks of artist design effort spent on them, for buttons that once clicked, reveal some information that would logically be impossible to get hold of through the channel used.
It seems as though we finally have a show that doesn't treat its audience as idiots, and where the writers actually spent some time doing their homework. I'm just concerned that the show may be targeting too small an audience, an audience consisting of people who do not switch their brains off when they turn on the tele, and as such it may not be awarded a series contract.
So far, highly recommended to tune into if you're interested in seeing something fresh and aren't allergic to narration (getting inside the mind of a somewhat odd protagonist), as there's quite lot of the latter.

Masterpiece
If you are going to review this show only having watched a couple of episodes or season 1, then your review looks terribly silly for those who completed it. This is by far one of the most well excecuted series in its decade, this isn't Lost where every unexplainabe thing just fades in a distance. This also isn't Twin Peaks where the bizarre moments will never be explained but encouraged.
The violence gets real intensive from season 3 onwards, it gives me the same intense feeling I got when watching Breaking Bad. Most importantly is how the series ends. The last seven episodes gives you a grand finale of absolute mind boggling intensity that has you shaking at the edge of your seat. Everything unfolds. The best is once you think its the end, and they cannot possibly have 2 or 3 episodes left, it blows your mind, makes you cry and really understand the world of Elliott.
How a series ends has always been important to me, thats why I loved Six feet Under and Battlestar Galactica. But Mr Robot is one of the best examples of how you end a series!! The writers of the last season of Game of Thrones should have taken notes. Truly a masterpiece! It stands unique on its own.

Mr. Robot leaves me excited and full of promise.
Did USA really just do this? They have managed to give me a combination of the best parts of Swordfish AND Fight Club and managed to make it coherent, suspenseful and a joy to watch. And Christian Slater gives yet another go at TV-Land and may have finally hit the mark!
The premise: A young man working at a security firm by day, and an elite hacker vigilante by night.
Sounds like it would be a bore-fest full of misplaced techno jargon, dry suspense (remember BlackHat?) and poor acting, right? Wrong! Not only was I amazed at how the story was presented, but I fell in love with the main cast with some spot on character development, GOOD use of technological aspects of hacking and a great use of voice over.
Color me impressed! I am a computer geek by trade and they hit the nail on the head with almost every aspect of security and defense without making grievous errors (think The Net & the worst aspects of Swordfish). This is a must see for geeks of all ages and even hits the mark for those not so tech savvy.
While the show is littered with clichés, they are all so well done and accurate that I could not find this an actual fault with the show. Try as I might, I could not find any glaring faults with the dialog, character development or even the subtle "Big Brother" aspects that they were going for.
This is a MUST continue for USA and I will be ecstatic if it gets picked up and more episodes are made (at the time of this review it appears only 1 episode has been made). Kudos for USA for taking a risk!
To sum it up; if you are a tech savvy user of the internet, smart phones or computers this is an absolute MUST see. Even for those of you not so tech savvy please give this a go!
