dear_prudence I put off seeing this because too many people recommended it (yes, I know how it sounds) and I wasn't really interested in seeing a nihilist narrative that critiques the information era with the generic complaint that "we" are all too complacent/stupid/lazy blah blah blah and deserve to be hammered because we just stick ourselves in the ground like nails without regard for our personal info/security. I KNOW I should do more. We are little men who know little; Elliot is a little man who knows much. The pilot episode contains more bile than the rest of the series, so if you are a little put off but curious at the end of it, I would strongly encourage you to press on. It is an entirely satisfying viewing experience. All three seasons. It is weirdly prescient (eerily so!), and fun to root for the main (unreliable) narrator. I was very fortunate to have avoided all spoilers because I stayed away from reviews. If you are interested in the show, please just watch it and don't read anymore about it. There are multiple ways to see it, and re-watching it is really fun too. I loved the music, the writing, and the stellar cinematography. Every frame is art. I never felt like I was just watching a TV show. Rami Malek, Sam Esmail, Christian Slater---top notch work. A pleasure to see.

westsideschl Negatives: 1. Excessive time wasting flashbacks. 2. Plot, action acting becoming a bit too predictable. Positive: 1. Darlene carries the show w/her gravelly voice; raw with a few, to-the-point, choice not-so-wordy dialogue. 2. "The top 1% of the 1%. The ones in control. The ones who play god without permission."

maxje-90343 The pace, the story, the acting, the casting, the perfectly fitting music, the tension. It all fits perfectly in what I like personally. I never got bored. If I could take any serie or movie in to my grave, this would be it.

Andrea Tsereteli (House of Targaryen) I enjoyed the clever season 1. Season 2 got a bit complicated but there were some twist in the plot that caught my atention. Season 3 I got completely lost and the preach against capitalism started to get really annoying. The second season of Mr. Robot was either trying to do too little or too much; I heard an equal amount of complaints that it was moving too slowly and that way too much was happening.
