I just watched Mr. Robot on Amazon

[BainsBane]

I watched all of the first season in 2 or 3 days. Boy is that a good show. Season 2 will start airing on USA network in a couple of weeks. Has anyone seen the show?

1. I couldn't get through the second episode of the first season.

[BainsBane]

2. Why?

I had to get over a bit of my reflexive distaste for some of the language that came from my views of the primary, but I put that aside to focus on the story. Was that what bothered you?

8. Me too... and the promos had made me really want to watch it.

I'm not sure why I couldn't get into it as the subject matter is interesting to me and I liked the lead actor ok...

I've thought I should try again, but frankly shows that don't hook me after the second or third episode are usually just a lost cause to me.

3. Yes--the star of that opus is Egyptian-American, you know!

He's one of the few good news stories that has come out of Egypt, lately....

I watched it week by week when it came out on cable. Very interesting and edgy.

[BainsBane]

4. Yes, I looked him up

He's very good in the role. The family plot was a total shocker.

He was born and raised in LA.

5. It's a very interesting show - about to start Season 2.

REMINDER: It is a fictional television show!

It's probably a commentary on the 'inner workings' of the hacker/activist mind as much as it is a commentary on society. Cuts both ways!

6. I enjoyed the first season too. Glad it's returning.

7. I have, from the beginning.

Trying to remember: his dad (Estevez) is dead, right? He's just a delusion? Or is he real?

The murderous sociopath with the pregnant sociopath wife is a hot mess, too.

[Lucky Luciano]

10. She is one super hot sociopath though! LOL! Great actress though.

She truly seemed psychotically smart and demented without an ounce of empathy.

[Ilsa]

12. A real 21st century "super-couple." LOL. nt

[intrepidity]

14. Christian Slater n/t

[Ilsa]

15. You're right. I don't know why I got those

two mixed up.

9. We'll have to check it out

Outlander ends next weekend and I'm getting bored with Modern Family reruns. We have the last season of The Killing queued and the Jane Fonda show too.

11. Mr Robot is 100% amazing. Best show on air right now.

A very anti-establishment show.

I thought the very first scene of the show had a great way to hook you in. I was immediately hooked.

I also loved how he handled his psychologist. I love when she asks what is bothering him and in his mind he goes on a very angry, but cogent tirade...until she interrupts him and reminds him he isn't saying anything!

Show is great.

It may help me enjoy the show since, while I am not a "true" programmer, there is some pretty legitimate scenes showing use of Linux and other things only nerds know about! Good consulting for the show.

13. Yes, yes, yes......

Love it.

[Silver Gaia]

16. Yes! This is an excellent show! We love it!
