    It's not just the best new TV show of the year, it's one of the best shows I've ever watched in my life.

    It's a weird, psychological cyber thriller set in New York that follows a computer programmer with issues of his own who joins a secretive anarchistic organization run by a man called Mr. Robot.

    It is impeccably written, directed and acted, with an incredible score and cinematography, has a unique structure and builds suspense in a way that's rarely seen on TV. It's has one of the best pilots ever, and only gets better from there. It's dark and maniacal, but also at times very humorous, and there's at least a couple major WTF moments every episode. It's on episode 8 as I'm writing this (it'll have 10 episodes per season; already renewed for season 2), and if you haven't watched it yet and want to, make sure to avoid all spoilers.

    Who else is watching this amazing show?

        I watched the pilot and got too lazy to watch the rest... didn't feel impressed.

              I like it, but I didn't pay enough attention while watching some of the episodes so I lost track in some stuff, need to rewatch from the beginning.

                Ah, I love that you need to pay so much attention to everything that's happening. Usually with TV shows you can watch them while chatting with your friends and do other stuff, but with this every little detail could be important. I'll definitely rewatch it once we get to the season finale, just to make sure that everything adds up.

                  A few people I know recommended this, so I might try to catch it.

                      Ditto. I did other things while watching episode 4 & 5 and after that was completely lost about what was happening in episode 6. So I had to rewatch the older episodes first. %)

                          I can't believe I missed this topic considering Rami Malek has been my avatar for the longest. :lmao I saw the show at the TriBeCa Film Festival and met Rami there, amazing show and great guy. I can't wait for the finale, I'm so glad Rami finally has a breakout role.

                            This is getting amazing response and reviews, I decided to try this show.

                            I'm already on episode 6 and I'll try to finish the season tonight. :)

                              I really liked the pilot and then watched the whole season.

                              I like the show, but don't love it. Yeah, technically-wise everything like casting, direction, soundtrack, and production is on point but despite the amazing reviews this series is getting I don't find it out of this world, it's even boring in some parts imo.

                              Does it have some connection with the Boy 7 movie, btw? I watched it earlier this year and I found the plot really similar. Even the first scene is reminiscent:

                                Never seen Boy 7, so IDK. I wasn't bored for a second during the season, I actually think it was very well paced, and now that it's over, I'm going to re-watch it to see if all the pieces fit together. Some of the revelations were more shocking than others, but when the lead character that's also the narrator is this messed up in the head, it's hard to know for sure what's real. Elliot himself acknowledges that the audience is at times a step ahead of him. I love when the show gets all meta. :love

                                Season 2 will be tricky, but I'm hopeful they'll pull it off.

                                  Wait, Rami Malek is 34?

                                    The music on this show is so great, I can't wait for the soundtrack. Very reminiscent of the work Trent Raznor and Atticus Ross did in David Fincher's Gone Girl (and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but to a lesser extent), and Nathan Johnson did in Looper.





                                    A lot of harsh, industrial, ambient sounds, it's so unnerving, I love it.
