I absolutely loved and Love this Tv Series! I trust they stick with it creating additional seasons.
Mr. Robot
Best series I have watched, not only for drama, suspense, and mind-melting twists, the musical score and sound are digitally fantastic.
If you were ever an old-school raver or digital music fanatic, the sense of your spine-tingling when certain build-ups happen in the series is as satisfying. Maybe a bit too nostalgic in some areas for millennials but it was perfect for me.
The second season seems slow but it isn't, just need to keep going and you'll see. I thought Rami Malek was brilliant before this as I had seen him in 24(series),
Throughout the show, we witness the world in a second-person perspective- we listen to his thoughts talking directly to us while we try to understand the unfolding storyline together. This unique story-telling perspective allows us to detach from seeing the show through one person’s view, rather as a hovering observer, watching the pieces fall together as well having an apparent connection to the world.
The show really starts to show its charm when Elliot joins a hacker group on a mission to rid the new-age world of debt by performing a large-scale hack to erase data of loans, mortgages, etc, as a result, the ‘world’s largest redistribution of wealth takes place.
In the process of carrying out the mission, many things about our protagonist and the world he lives in, we uncover the strings that allow the big enterprises to be as powerful as they are as well as the reality shattering exposition that Elliot has Dissociative Identity Disorder also referred to as Split Personality disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder.
The show is something beyond just another sci-fi thriller, rather the show takes us on a cathartic experience in understanding the demons of the world we live in and how such a world creates beings with polarizing traits yet the very same beings are an integral part of a bigger system, something that grew from flawed inception.
The show recurringly shows the effects of high-efficiency capitalism and how powerful technology has become and how much it can detach us from all connections from our life.
Tackling the many sensitive topics portrayed in the show with incredible foresight, allowed for a cohesive transition from one plot to another, all the while developing the character’s personality - them overcoming their flaws as well as developing new ones.
The constant and consistent mind-melting twists coupled with the sound design from the detail in ambiance to intense scores during key moments of a plot, combined with the creative framing of subjects to convey how much the characters are invested (or the lack thereof) creates a captivating experience that strikes both our conscious and subconscious experience of watching the show.
It is without a doubt, a one-of-a-kind shows that no other could take its place. Winning multiple awards, Mr. Robot is a testament that you can create deep, rich stories with dynamic character interactions from a very simple premise - What would it be like to live a life of thrill and how one can impact and change the world in unbelievable ways.
I loved every bit of the show and already miss it!
