Premise

The series follows Elliot Alderson, a young man living in New York City, who works at the cybersecurity company Allsafe as a security engineer. Constantly struggling with social anxiety disorder and clinical depression, Elliot's thought process seems heavily influenced by paranoia and delusion.[9] He connects to people by hacking them, which often leads him to act as a cyber-vigilante. He is recruited by a mysterious insurrectionary anarchist known as "Mr. Robot", and joins his team of hacktivists known as "fsociety". One of their missions is to cancel all debts by taking down one of the largest corporations in the world, E Corp (dubbed "Evil Corp" by Elliot), which also happens to be Allsafe's biggest client.[10]

a The first season finale was postponed one week from its originally scheduled air date of August 26, 2015, because the episode includes a scene with similarities to the Roanoke, Virginia murders, which happened earlier the same day.[38]

Production

Conception and development

According to Sam Esmail, he is fascinated by hacker culture and wanted to make a film about hackers for around 15 years.[39] In the production, Esmail consulted experts to give a realistic picture of hacking activities.[40] Another inspiration for Esmail, who is of Egyptian descent, was the Arab Spring, where young people who were angry at society used social media to bring about a change.[41][42]

Sam Esmail had originally intended Mr. Robot to be a feature film, with the end of the first act being someone finding out that he had a mental disorder while enacting a greater scheme.[43] However, midway through writing the first act, he found that script had expanded considerably, and that became a script more suited for a television show.[44] He removed 20 pages of around 89 pages of the script then written, and used it as the pilot for the series,[45] and what was to have been the end of the first act became the finale of the first season.[43] Esmail took the script to Anonymous Content to see if it could be developed into a television series, which was then picked up by USA Network. USA Network gave a pilot order to Mr. Robot in July 2014,[46] and picked it up to series with a 10-episode order in December 2014.[47] Production began in New York on April 13, 2015.[48] Prior to its series premiere on June 24, 2015, Mr. Robot was renewed for a second season, which will include a minimum of 10 episodes.[8]

Influences

Sam Esmail has acknowledged several major influences on the show, such as American Psycho, Taxi Driver, A Clockwork Orange,[49] and The Matrix.[50] In particular, Esmail credited Fight Club as the inspiration for a main character who suffers from dissociative identity disorder creating a new manifestation of his deceased father in the form of a hacker,[50][51][52] as well as for the anti-consumerist and anti-establishment spirit of its characters.[53] Commentators have also noted the parallel in its plot on the erasing of consumer debt records to the film.[54][55] In an interview, Esmail explains how playing the song that Fincher used to underscore the climax of his film ("Where Is My Mind?") when Elliot initiates the hack in episode nine is intended as a message to the audience that he is aware of the inspiration they took from Fight Club.[56] The narration by the protagonist was influenced by Taxi Driver,[57] and other influences mentioned included Risky Business in its music score, Blade Runner for the character development, and the television series Breaking Bad for the story arc.[49]

Filming locations

The series was filmed in New York. Filming locations included Coney Island which served as the base of operations for the hacking group fsociety.[58] As the production crew was unable to shut down Times Square for filming, the scenes at Times Square in the finale were shot late at night just before the 4th of July holiday weekend to catch the area at its emptiest.[59]

Reception

Critical response

Mr. Robot has received widespread acclaim from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 98% with an average score of 8.1 out of 10 based on 41 reviews. It set a record on Rotten Tomatoes as the only show to earn perfect episode scores since the site began tracking television episodes.[60] The site's consensus reads: "Mr. Robot is a suspenseful cyber-thriller with timely stories and an intriguing, provocative premise."[61] On Metacritic, the first season scored 79 out of 100 based on 23 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[62] Merrill Barr of Forbes gave it a very positive review and wrote, "Mr. Robot has one of the best kick-offs to any series in a while" and that "Mr. Robot could be the series that finally, after years of ignorance, puts a deserving network among the likes of HBO, AMC and FX in terms of acclaim."[63]

In The New York Times, Alessandra Stanley noted that, "Occupy Wall Street, the protest movement that erupted in 2011, didn’t do much to curb the financial industry. It didn’t die out, though. It went Hollywood", before finding Mr. Robot to be, "an intriguing new series […] a cyber-age thriller infused with a dark, almost nihilistic pessimism about the Internet, capitalism and income inequality. And that makes it kind of fun".[64] The UK The Daily Telegraph reviewer Michael Hogan gave the show five stars, finding it to be "The Matrix meets Fight Club meets Robin Hood, noting that, "Bafflingly, it took months for a UK broadcaster to snap up the rights". Although Hogan found too much attention was devoted to Eliot's social anxiety, he eventually decided that "this alienated anti-hero was a brilliant, boldly complex character." Overall, Hogan concluded that the show deserved to find an audience in the UK.[65]

Accolades

After premiering at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March 2015,[66] the series won the Audience Award for episodic television.[45][48][67]

Ratings

The first episode of Mr. Robot was released across multiple digital platforms in advance of its first broadcast. It had a viewership of 2.7 million prior to the first broadcast of the episode.[68]
