A brilliant, breathtaking beginning, hypnotizing with its content, perfect direction, dialogue and acting. That detail showing way of shooting, totally captivating, plus super well-selected music, matching and provoking attention make Mr. Robot Season 1 an unconditional masterpiece. It concerns a sensitive and ill-tempered subject of modern society, showing a possible solution, giving hope and motivating. And not only the subject - the inhumanity of society and the division between people, who prefer to hide their true feelings, which completely separates them from one another and makes them lonely, but also in every part of the film the sensitivity is felt. And how many important issues were highlighted, I just can't believe. I remember how deeply this series influenced me. I was mad, angry I'm part of that. On the other hand, I received understanding and reassurance. It was a whole experience for which I'm very grateful. Unbelievable job by Sam Esmail.

Character/narrator with identical characteristics of Fight Club mixed with the stares of Dr House. I was not surprised with the shortage technical about the main theme, perhaps that's what frustrated people in the area (it's for all target audience, more details could lead them to boredom). Overall it is a show ok to me and may not create expectations cause of the golden globe.

After the pilot, it just felt like one of those overrated TV shows that only have good reviews because of the character having social anxiety (Tumblr bait much?).

Probably ranking as my most disappointing 'new' show of 2015. After what was an incredible first episode, where we're introduced to the character Elliot Alderson, a cyber-security worker at AllSafe, a company charged with maintaining the security of 'Evil Corp'. Elliot is a high-functioning sociopath, suffering from depression, anxiety, and several other associative disorders for which he is taking prescribed (and unprescribed) medications. He also moonlights as a hacker, his skills are presented as being unmatched and peerless and he's able to do some good by bringing bad people to justice using his abilities. Things get complicated when he is approached by a man wearing a jacket bearing a patch with the logo 'Mr. Robot' who suggests that Evil Corp need to be taken down, and he needs Elliot's help to do it. As each subsequent episode unfolds we're introduced to various other characters, most of whom are incredibly boring and who didn't elicit any sense of compassion from me. It was obvious that each one was designed (inside the narrative) to represent some part of Elliot's psyche, which is the fundamental crux of what the show hinges on. As Elliot's past is gradually opened up to the viewer, the tone also begins to change, mirroring Elliot's state of mind, until at the end of the season we get the 'twist' that was so obvious I never believe anyone who says they didn't see it coming a mile off! What destroyed the show for me was that the initial premise was so open and the character of Elliot was so interesting, that seeing the possibilities ever-narrowing as the season went on was actually more depressing than disappointing. The show tries to be too clever for its own good, and whilst it probably makes for fascinating debate, it just ended up being narratively predictable, the fresh ideas being replaced with a sense of it all being seen before. Fundamentally it ticks the right boxes for both critics and those who think such shows like this are highbrow entertainment. But, ultimately, what started off in a new and refreshing way, ended up becoming a 'paint by numbers' pastiche of ideas pilfered from other (and better) films/tv shows.

Started out brilliantly, the pilot is one of the best I've ever seen. But each succeeding episode is worse than the one before, a steady decline until I couldn't care less what happens to Elliott. The gap between its promise and where it has devolved to makes it the winner of Most Disappointing Series of this season.
