Hello
everybody ! :D
It has been
two weeks that I upset the class by talking about this serie, so I decided to
make an article in this blog, so that anyone can read it and watch it if they want.
Enjoy ! J
I watch a loooot
of tv shows but I only have two favorites : (BBC) Sherlock and Mr.Robot, and today we are talking about the last one : Mr.Robot.
Mr.Robot is
a new show (the pilot aired in june 2015) but it’s not very famous in France (because
it’s not translated yet, I guess).
What is it
about ?
The series
follows Elliot Alderson who works as a security engineer by day and is a hacker
by night. He is constantly struggling with social anxiety disorder, which
pushes him to hack people to get to know them. He is recruited by a group of hacktivist who
wants to break the capitalism.
Two teasers :
Also, the
tv show is really well perceived by the critics :The premiere had so much
success that the series was renewed for the second season before the first season
has premiered on USA Network on June 24, and
after the season 1 (which ended two weeks ago), critic websites such as Rotten tomatoes, Metacritic and IMDb have rated him 98/100, 79/100 and 9,1/10.
I begun to watch it since the pilot aired (yes
I know : beginning a tv show just before the brevet wasn’t a good idea ^^), and
I immediately liked !
The thing that I like in the show is that it always surprise you in a way or another ! So much that the fans often change the title to "Mr.Robot" from "WTF" or "HOLY F*CK" :
Also, I really
like the characters of this show, who are all very well played and imagined, like Elliot. I like the idea that he
is completely vulnerable because it breaks the picture of the hero (confident
and handsome, possibly rich, has eventually superpowers etc..) , Elliot is an
anti-hero, he is a drug addict and has
social anxiey disorder, he don’t even has the power of friendship (because he
has like one friend and a fish named Qwerty) .Even the secondary characters like
Trenton, Tyrell, Angela, Shayla and Darlene are well imagined, they are not only a decoration for the main characters
but really achieve things,, some of them have even a side plot inside the big intrigue.
So, yeah..watch
it if you want and tell me in the comment if you liked it or not ! :D
You finally wrote an article about this series, and now I really really really want to watch it ! And not just because you talked about it all the time (ehehe), the story is interesting so I will definitely go check it out !
ReplyDeleteSame here, I'm going to check this out asap :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm knida disturb with the fashion in diffrent medias to make hacking looks like a super power. As a fan of informatic and video games, I can't really understand the people who thinks hacking is going to be the next "fashionnable" kind of power... And I really thinks entertaining medias who show hacking as a bad or an epic thing shouldn't do that
ReplyDeleteActually, in Mr.Robot, hacking is not showed like a superpower or something. I read articles that said that when people were hacking in the serie, it was realistic : it wasn't like cool guys who were tapping codes and BAM ! they were in the system. Apparently they use the proprer vocabulary, sometimes it is hard for them to hack someone or something, sometimes they fail and have to use tricks etc
DeleteIt sounds really interesting ! I like it already.
ReplyDeleteNooo ! Don't do this to me, don't make me add yet another series on my to watch list, it's too long already TwT
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this series, but it looks great !
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it "They change the title from Mr. Robot to WTF" or did you mean that some people randomly shout "MR ROBOT !" when they're upset ?
Noo haha I meant that sometimes they edit the title from Mr.Robot to WTF when he is in a picture like on the screenshot that I put on the article ! But maybe some people do that, who knows x)
DeleteThis sounds great, I'm definitely going to watch it !!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see that you are interested ! I would love to see your reaction to the pilot or the season 1 if you want to see it ! The episodes 8 & 9 are THE BEST- I recommend to watch at least until the end of the 8 to make yourself an opinion of the show
ReplyDeletei LOVE series so i'm surely going to check on thins one, thank you for writing about it :)
ReplyDeleteHey there, I saw this post about Mr Robot and I knew I had to read it! I'm obsessed with series, I spend just so much time watching series, I'm an addict! Anyway, Mr Robot became one of my favourite tv show ever (with Beaver Falls, Dexter, Sense8, The Leftovers and True Detective) super fast. The character of Elliot is just amazing, I fell in love instantly. I feel like I can relate to Elliot (not that I am a drug addict) but the pain he goes through, the loneliness he feels that's just not some of the issues heroes usually deal with.
ReplyDeleteI'm only at the beginning of Mr. Robot but I already love it! I must admit it, the atmosphere is kind of dark but I like it. This series deals with serious issues that can affect everyone, maybe that explain all the craze and the good reviews. Nevertheless, if you don't really know the internet slang it's hard to understand some events. Or maybe that's only me. Rami Malek, who plays Eliott, the main character, is fascinated by his way of acting and because his role is full of thoughts and complicated disorders. It's finally amazing that Mr. Robot has been renewed for a new season!
