    Best movie of this year hands down!

    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

    what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

    I don't watch many TV shows because I usually get easily bored by them. None has grabbed my attention quite as good as Mr Robot. The pilot does a fantastic job of introducing the premise of the show in an entertaining fashion, and I can't recall a single episode that I felt nothing happened (which happens a lot with other TV shows I've tried to watch). That isn't to say that the show isn't slow at times, but when it is, it is for a reason. When I finished watching the first 3 seasons, I wrote the following review on my Snapchat story to try to get more people (more specifically, more of my friends) to watch this TV show:Mr Robot's seasons 1-3 might feel slow at moments, but everything that is "filler" comes back at some point and when this show pays off, IT PAYS OFF.I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for a show to watch, and also to anyone who isn't. This show is shot like a movie and amount of the time put into writing it shows.Seasons 1 and 2 are available for people with Amazon Prime. If you start watching and feel bored, watch at least until the 9th episode before dropping the show, that's when the 1st big payoff happens.

    I put off seeing this because too many people recommended it (yes, I know how it sounds) and I wasn't really interested in seeing a nihilist narrative that critiques the information era with the generic complaint that "we" are all too complacent/stupid/lazy blah blah blah and deserve to be hammered because we just stick ourselves in the ground like nails without regard for our personal info/security. I KNOW I should do more. We are little men who know little; Elliot is a little man who knows much. The pilot episode contains more bile than the rest of the series, so if you are a little put off but curious at the end of it, I would strongly encourage you to press on. It is an entirely satisfying viewing experience. All three seasons. It is weirdly prescient (eerily so!), and fun to root for the main (unreliable) narrator. I was very fortunate to have avoided all spoilers because I stayed away from reviews. If you are interested in the show, please just watch it and don't read anymore about it. There are multiple ways to see it, and re-watching it is really fun too. I loved the music, the writing, and the stellar cinematography. Every frame is art. I never felt like I was just watching a TV show. Rami Malek, Sam Esmail, Christian Slater---top notch work. A pleasure to see.

    I really need to recommend this show to more people because it's vastly underrated. The story and plot are so interesting, but it's really everything underneath that make this show what it is. The characters are written phenomenally and the actors play them so well. They're very dynamic, all with their own hidden motives, and you're never quite on the same page as any of the characters. You never know how a situation will play out because there are so many factors and moving parts constantly affecting a single scene. The way they deal with and display mental illness is extremely interesting and it adds a sense of distrust to whether what you're seeing is real, fake, or figurative, constantly keeping you on edge and skeptical. The directing and cinematography are absolutely outstanding, they completely throw out the rule of thirds and it works so well for the show, opting for shots with lots of empty space over the characters, an obvious display of how small insignificant they are. The entire presentation makes it feel much more cinematic compared to most even lit gross generic television looks. The show is much darker and more realistic than most television, and you realize very quickly that the situation of the show is larger than any of the characters could have imagined, and that no character is ever truly safe. It's clever, it's unforgiving, and just a genuinely fun ride, making scenes filled with hacking highly captivating rather than cheesy.

    This show hit a bit of a lull in Season 2 as they introduced many new characters and subplots. Perhaps they felt that they needed more. The cinematography is incredible! Finally...a show that pushes the envelope both, with content and shot selection. People in the future will use this show as the watershed moment when TV evolved!
