    Mr. Robot

    Started watching this after a friend suggested I give it a shot. More than pleasantly surprised after catching up on the season. Substantive on all levels. Tech fans will especially dig it. Highly recommended. Anybody else watching this?

    Been hooked since the first 5 minutes of the first episode, this show is really friggin' good. Was skeptical at first being it is on the USA network, but they've got themselves a winner with this one.

    Hands down my favorite show on TV at the moment, and could see this being one of the greats.

    Well, I don't have anything to lose, so I guess I can check it out tonight at 10. Cable company yet again claiming that its the end of our little contract and the bill is going up so I finally said screw you and turned in the 2 cable boxes, but they tried to tell me I needed a cable box for my internet, but I do know enough that a cable box isn't needed for that, and canceled my HBO......they wanted $193 / month and I gave em a reduction to $96 / month instead for all the services I'll be getting now



    Didn't need the 30 different sports channels that I never watched anyways


    I see Directv was taken over by AT&T recently...........I still don't see any great offers coming from them either

    Finally caught up with all the eps. Probably my new favorite show right now. Really interesting and well written, except I'm not sure where they're going with the Tyrell character. That guy is an interesting character that kind of reminds me of Patrick Bateman, but I'm not sure how he fits in with everything else going on at the moment. I'm sure it'll call come together eventually though. On another note, how Elliot was describing how he learned web design was exactly how I learned it View Page Source

    Only problem I have so far...


    Spoiler...
    Shayla's death was a surprise, but skipping the story ahead a month seemed kind of a lazy way to move forward. I'm hoping they have a flashback that explains a bit more of what happened after Elliot just left the body in the trunk, because you'd think there would be some sort of investigation and Elliot may be a prime suspect. Unless we're to assume that the police pinned it one of the many escaped prisoners that killed her.

    Awesome!

    Yeah, Tyrell is like the Bizarro Superman version of Elliot.


    Spoiler...
    That part of the episode almost had a Breaking Bad type feel to it. As soon as he tossed Elliott the keys I was like "Oh shit, she's dead."

    Holy shit, what an episode. Still don't quite know what to think, only two episodes left though.


    Spoiler...
    Leaning toward Elliot's father not being alive and just being an aspect of Elliot's personality. In the conversation between Mr Robot and Tyrell in the car I initially felt that Tyrell was referring to when he caught Elliot in the act of hacking. With two episodes left, it can easily go either way. This has to be the most successful breaking of the fourth wall that has been done to date.

    Good plan.
    Grab some crack and stay up watching all the episodes back to back to back.
    Then you can sue TNT or AMC or whoever shows this show. Just claim "Mr Robot was so good, it made me develop a crack addition because i wanted to watch all the episodes".

    The finale has been postponed for a week due to the unfortunate events involving the deaths of a news reporter and her cameraman that occurred this morning. Apparently there is a similar scene in the finale and the network felt it best to temporarily postpone it to pay respect to the friends and family of the deceased:

    The previously filmed season finale of 'Mr. Robot' contains a graphic scene similar in nature to today’s tragic events in Virginia. Out of respect to the victims, their families and colleagues, and our viewers, we are postponing tonight’s episode. Our thoughts go out to all those affected during this difficult time.

    Sad what happened and although it sucks that the finale has been postponed, it's understandable.
