US: Mr. Robot

[JBod]

Excellent. Although just to be clear, he is not a "computer programmer" he is a Systems Engineer or SysAdmin.

Watched this today and really enjoyed it. Reminds me of Rubicon in some ways.

Loved that series, will have to check this out.

Yeah I did raise an eyebrow to this in the show description! A programmer eh? I would be having words with him if I was his boss as to why he isn't cutting code!

I enjoy its fight club motif a lot. also a nice little touch with the episode names

 

[arknor]

I heard there was an ip that started at over 400 on one of the screens lol

erf and those episode names are we going back 10 years to leetspeak

KDE > Gnome. I ******* hate Gnome!

 

[point decay]

thought it was ok, could do without Christian Slater though

 

[Liquidfox]

Really enjoyed this, just finished it. Gutted I've got to wait until the 24th for more!

 

[Mynight]

I was reading up on it to try and find out when the next episode is coming up and wiki suggests the 24th is just the official air date for tv release first episode . Don't know when the second episode is coming .

I'm guessing second ep is july 1st 7 days after it airs on TV.

Also not a big fan of slater however I can tolerate him in small doses so hopefully his part doesn't warrant much sceen time

 

[Mynight]

Kinda sad netflix hadn't done it. I could be binge watching it now rather than waiting a month .

really enjoyed it. pleasantly surprised.

 

[Beerbaron]

I thought the first episode was actually pretty good.

 

[Stoddy]

I watched it last night and really enjoyed it - looking forward to seeing the rest.

Spoiler

Did nobody else think though that this was similar to Dexter? Like Dexter, Elliot has emotional issues and is using his skills to punish people doing bad things. He also has a folder full of DVD's with all the evidence of people he has outed whereas Dexter kept blood slides of his victims. Also add the voiceover of what Elliot is thinking and you have the same thing that Dexter used to do. I loved Dexter though so if this follows that theme it is fine by me!!

An excellent pilot or first episode, it had a movie quality style through out and was gripped with the main character off the bat. Slater actually did well also.

I would rather see 5-6 high quality 1hr eps then a 22 episode run though.

Now to go and change my passwords and change my security question.....

I think it is a fine mix of Dexter, dash of Matrix and a bit of Fight Club.

There was one line that I am sure was a direct Matrix quote.

We live in an encrypted world already ?

Enjoyed it but the ferris wheel scene was bad. One second at the top, change camera, at bottom.
Yes, did remind me of Dex.
