Mr. Robot – A Very Pleasant Surprise

F-the-system-AD-640x480With a Metacritic score of 79% this looked promising. What TrendengEl didn’t expect is that Mr. Robot is the coolest and most interesting TV drama of the season and the best ever on the USA network.There’s an addictive energy to “Mr. Robot” over its first two episodes as it zips from boardroom to underground computer lab to Elliot’s apartment and so on and so on. The filmmaking here is so vibrant but Malek’s emotional honesty never allows style to overwhelm substance. What’s most remarkable is that “Mr. Robot” is so much more complex than it could have been in less-talented hands. It takes a relatively predictable concept like taking down evil corporations with modern technology and captures the moral and human complexity that would still be contained within such a world. People don’t always want Elliot to save them. Humans are more complex than a technological Robin Hood, or a company of them, can understand. And it’s that complexity that elevates “Mr. Robot” into must-watch TV.
