NONE OF THIS IS REAL

"Daemons. They don't stop working. They're always active. They seduce. They manipulate. They own us. And even though you're with me, even though I created you, it makes no difference. We all must deal with them alone."

You just, uh, get an opportunity to celebrate like you’ve never celebrated in your life! … Your mind and body just don’t prepare you for what that’s gonna feel like. It’s an out-of-body experience, I think everybody collectively says that.

Some of my favorite media descriptions of Elliot

“cyber-punk Batman”

“Bundle of hurt in a hoodie”

“Uber-nerd’s wet dream”

“Hoodie-headed misanthrope with ET face”

“Socially stunted morphine-snorting hoodie-headed misfit with saucer eyes and pale gray skin”

[qwertyalderson]

Mr. Robot excels in showing the dimensions and depths of humanity, particularly in Malek’s performance, and gives us insight into some of the most realistic hacking scenes to grace the screen (Hackers read and alter code? What?). The cherry on this digitally delicious series is the cinematography, with nods to an 80’s stylistic feel at times. The delicate lines between raw but watchable, and dark, gritty but not cheap are masterfully harmonized. Sam Esmail crafted a timely, complex and intriguing series with beautifully raw characters that captivate.

“Mr. Robot Is Mysterious, Intelligent and Perfectly Relevant”

There’s something strikingly magnetic about MR. ROBOT— it immerses you into a mood and atmosphere without feeling the need to ground that mood in anything but itself, and it looks great doing it in the process (especially with its gorgeous cinematography and pulsing music throughout). The aesthetics are well balanced by the engaging performances and poetic, Aaron Sorkin-like dialogue from creator/executive producer Sam Esmail.

More often than not, “Mr. Robot” is not a show which invites you to buy in. It’s standoffish, reticent, only willing to make you care when prodded to do so, and even then it will resist. Yet if you are willing to engage, willing to challenge yourself, it’s some of the most fascinating television happening right now.

I can’t even look at my phone without thinking that there’s somebody surveying every one of my text messages. I feel like everything is being watched or listened to. When you research the role, you discover just how deceptive they are. And we are offering so much of it up. We’re incredibly complicit.

[qwertyalderson]

When I first created the world of Mr. Robot, I thought it would be a niche television series with a small, cult following. Over the past three years, it has become so much more.
