Currently sitting at a 9.4(eek) Rating from 4k+ reviewers.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4158110/

First episode/Pilot available from all the usual nautical outlets.

Having watched Episode 1 I really enjoyed it! Doesn't dumb it down too much, there's no scenes of someone mashing keys on a keyboard and all appears very realistic.

'Follows a mysterious anarchist who recruits a young computer programmer (Malek) who suffers from an anti-social disorder and connects to people by hacking them.'

I recommend this!

Downloaded this after seeing your post.

Enjoyed that.

So much better than CSI Cyber. That is one of those programs so bad you have to keep watching to see if to can get any worse.

Also watched this - not quite as good as I'd expected from the reviews, but worth sticking with, I think.


Shades of Dexter, especially with his trophy case of CDRs!

This "officially" aired last night.

So popular it seems, it's already been renewed for S2. Hopefully the rest of the season is as good as Ep1.

Still one of the highlights of the week for me.

Enjoyed Ep7 - can't say much without spoilers, but the start was bittersweet...and they only went and opened with the glorious Pictures of You.

Hadn't heard of this, but with about 20 clicks my server is downloading epidodes 1-7, and ShowRSS will fire the rest at me as they air.

Intriguing that the episode titles are written in a way to apparently thwart idle torrenting...!

There's alot of interest in it at the moment:

TVWise said:
"One acquisitions exec I spoke to earlier this week said they expected the level of interest in Mr Robot to make it the biggest deal (in cash terms) for a cable show since Sky poached Mad Men from the BBC"
Apparently ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, UKTV, Syfy UK and Amazon Prime are all in the running.

I thought that - quite the opposite - they were a playful nod towards the convention of naming torrent files that way (adding dots, and "720p" and ".mkv" etc).

Personally i have a bit of OCD about that and when i store series on my NAS, i have to make sure each episode of each series has the correct name and S01E02 format etc... so this Mr Robot series has messed my head up with its untidy naming convention! biggrin

Only on episode 2 but get the feeling it's going to go all Fight Club and his arcade buddies are in his head

Just finished Episode 8, certainly going interesting places if a bit confusing! May have to rewatch earlier bits again...

Well, that was unexpectedly expected.

And that piano cover of Where is my Mind? Loved it. TBH that could have been the seasonal finale for me.

It's very good, the attention to detail if you are into IT is outstanding.

Yeah when he talks about controlling tor exit nodes and uses actual tools like supersu when rooting a phone I find my head nodding ..

They're not showing the finale this week due to the events this morning. It'll be shown next week instead.

I've picked up on this recently - I'm 4 episodes in and I'm loving it - I had to stop myself from watching the whole lot in one go as 1am is late enough really....

I keep wanting to say "that's not accurate", but I can't - it's very good smile
