CGiii Comment

The central character has some serious mental health issues...

There's a kind-hearted gay character...

There's a sociopathic/psychopathic/sadistic bisexual...no stereotypes here!

There's a trans-master-hacker...

This is computer-geek heaven...accompanied by some sharp dialogue and impressive cinematography.

Its unpredictability is its biggest asset...there's no formulaic story-telling here - expect (and receive) twists and roundabout...keeping you (at times) on the edge of your seat.

In this oddball, mis-shapen world anything can happen...but, you can't take your eyes off of Elliot...in part, demonic, more than a little menacing and [almost] too lovable to be wholesome...despite being an inwardly-screwed, self-righteous junkie. What?!?!

He's a damn fine drawn character...with layers...lots of them.

A finely written series...could be addictive.

The(ir) Blurb...

Elliot Alderson, a young cyber-security engineer living in New York who assumes the role of a vigilante hacker by night. Elliot meets a mysterious anarchist known as 'Mr. Robot' who recruits Elliot to join his team of hackers, 'fsociety'. Elliot, who has a social anxiety disorder and connects to people by hacking them, is intrigued but uncertain if he wants to be part of the group. The show follows Mr. Robot's attempts to engage Elliot in his mission to destroy the corporation Elliot is paid to protect. Compelled by his personal beliefs, Elliot struggles to resist the chance to take down the multinational CEOs that are running (and ruining) the world.
