    Mr. Robot

    Anyone watch this yet? The pilot was up on youtube/hulu for the past month or so, premiered last night. Already been picked up for a 2nd season so it's probably the longest running Christian Slater show in the past 20 years. Can still check the pilot out here:

    I really enjoyed it, looking forward to seeing where the show goes.

    Love my man Christian Slater. Hope it does well. I watched the pilot a while ago, wasn't too bad.

    Really enjoyed the pilot. Colored me surprised at the swearing and partial nudity in a cable TV show. This episode (and I assume the next will too) did a great job of setting up the internal conflict Elliot will have of turning in the "bad guys" or helping destroy what he sees as a corrupt and broken system. His internal monologues are amusing too. After the recent popularity boom of hacker/high-tech shows and movies, I had lost my faith in the genre. This show has a strong chance of showing how to do this genre correctly.

    hell of a lot better than I expected, the name made it sound kind of dumb and I thought it was gonna end up being generic USA procedural but with more computers.

    The fact they picked it up for a second season before the first episode airs give me a lot of hope. I just hope they can keep up a good story since the characters are pretty good so far. I like the main actor guy, he's kinda a creepy eyed but still a good actor.

    This show is silly as shit and pretty much everything happens exactly as you expect, but credit where credit is due, it's entertaining.

    The end this week was pretty hilarious. Still really enjoying it, music and camera angles are pretty neat a lot of the time.

    The narration reminds me of Fight Club.

    last night i was like ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for the entire episode. i feel like the pilot was probably as good as it is going to get. As a previous poster in thread said, its all so predictable. Outside of pregnant sex broad that is

    Too much scene bouncing for me. I'm getting that feeling of the inevitable juggling act with too many subplots and players.

    Predicted that homeless man beating, and man sex? I still like the show, was dying laughing when the happy music kicked in and he was all normal drinking starbucks. Also MR.Robot is in his head not a real person. Also I'll keep watching cause the girl from BMS is smoking.

    the man sex arc was pretty tropey to me. homeless beating wasn't exactly predictable but i didnt think it added anything to the show either.

    also I'm with you on Mr. Robot maybe being in his head but Shayla acknowledged the other chick last night so i guess it may not be that simple. Is he tyler durdening and recruiting people as christian bale/mr robot? idk that would be way too fight clubby all the way down to the end game of erasing debt.

    Could all be a giant misdirection. At least I hold out hope it's not that simple. Either way, for a USA summer show I'm enjoying it and they seem to be pushing some boundaries for that channel. Plus the fact that USA just lets it run till whenever is kinda awesome.

    I don't remember but did anyone else on the train react to Mr Robot when he yelled at the main character on the train in the first ep?
