Mayos Noun Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Has anyone caught the first episode of this yet? I was completely blown away by it. Absolutely loved it. The main character is superb. Completely believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marching in Flipflops Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah, I thought it was excellent. Spent most of the episode trying to work out what the lead character's running inner monologue reminded me of. It was only towards the end that I realised his delivery was almost exactly the same as Dexter. No bad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayos Noun Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Good spot. Upto 9.4 rating on IMBD after one episode. It's going to be difficult to keep up that level of performance although there's a lot of roads this can go down. This could either become my favourite TV show or the most disappointing. Hopefully the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Solid opener, reasonably believable tech/hacking goings on. The main character is extremely interesting and carried the whole episode imo. Quite a few weak characters around him - the childhood girl friend struggling to gain work respect, the sexual tension, her bro boyfriend, the gay guy coming out, the fat Asian techie... all of it, cliched as f**k. As is the 'evil megacorp' angle, though I suppose it's somewhat required for the story. The junior guy in eCorp seems like an extremely 'planted' character, not very believable. The envelope switch scene was an eye-roller. I didn't take to Slater's acting at all, though his character is interesting enough. The shrink is also a potentially interesting character, and well acted. I did enjoy it though, honest. Hope it goes with Dexter/Rectify-like quality rather than devolving into standard bubble-gum viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The lead could potentially turn out to be one of my favourite characters on tv right now. Really great first episode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayos Noun Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 This is excellent so far. Don't really want to say much and give anything away but... does anyone think Mr Robot is imaginary? No one seems to acknowledge him or seen him pushing Elliott off the fence or even noticed him walking through his workplace. Similar to Fight Club in that respect. I may be way off base however.

Boostin' Kev Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's possible. Been very good so far liked the introduction of the American Psycho type guy and his partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayos Noun Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 He's very Patrick Bateman-esque style of mental. The main actor is absolutely outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Caught up to episode 3. After a fairly promising start this has gone nowhere fast. The creator says he knows the ending in 3/4 series time. Can't say I'll be wasting that much time invested in it if it doesn't improve quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thought second half of episode 4 was pretty dull but I think it'll be more relevant in the bigger scheme. Ep 5 was good there was actually a bit more going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Episode 6 was exactly what I needed to keep my interest in this show, terrific stuff! I'm actually pretty excited to see what's going to happen next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The time Chinese cross-dresser will give for an interview: 3 minutes The time he probably gives to take a shit: At least 5 imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 As someone said, quite Fight Club-esque, but amongst all things, they did poke fun at themselves playing the Pixies at the end. I'm not saying I'm totally against it being like Fight Club btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
