During the show’s first few seasons, “Mr. Robot” was THAT show for me. While it ended in 2019, I finally got around to re-watching and then finishing the 4 season drama. “Mr. Robot” dives into the traumatic and hazy life of a young, anti-social computer programmer, Elliot (played by Rami Malik), who is constantly struggling with social anxiety, dissociative identity disorder, clinical depression and drug abuse. With the entire show focusing on Elliot’s thought process – which is heavily influenced by paranoia and delusion, “Mr. Robot” is able to tell a unique story by making the viewer feel like they are a part of the story as Elliot’s imaginary friend. 

“Mr Robot” keeps you on your toes, is dramatic, and challenges the mind. While it is hard to follow along at times and is one of those shows you need to be dialed in for, they do an amazing job of connecting moments and small details throughout the entire series. The characters are easy to love and empathize with. The cast consists of more no-names than stars, Rami Malik and Christen Slater carry the show and both deliver award winning performances. With the first season being 5+ years old, the plot has aged extremely well and is one of the more original television plots of recent. 

“Mr. Robot” is one of the most confusing and hard to watch shows I’ve ever seen, but the patience and payoff is worth it. “Mr. Robot” is one of the most unique and outside the box tv shows I’ve seen in my life and should be celebrated as such. The USA TV show is a 8.9 out of 10 and deserves to be watched if you’re a fan of shows like “WestWorld” or “The Americans.” While this one isn’t for everyone, I’d recommend the watch if you’re into psychological/twisted/dramatic shows. It’s one of the better shows I’ve seen in the last decade and is worth checking out if you have the time and are looking for a new binge-worthy show.
