Just finished watching season 1 of Mr. Robot and really enjoyed it. The story is about a young computer programmer who suffers from social anxiety disorder and forms connections through hacking. He's recruited by a mysterious anarchist, who calls himself Mr. Robot.

I have never seen any hollywood movie or tv show covering this much technical detail when it comes to computers and programming/hacking. If you are interested in this stuff you will probably enjoy watching this show.

I will give this show 9 out of 10.

Yep it is very good. It even won the Emmy in one of the categories. I just felt it started drifting a little bit in the middle. I hear season 2 is on its way

Saw this guy Rami in a couple of movies and looked nothing special to me but here in this show he did full justice to the character. He got a unique look.
 
The first season was pretty good and I'm interested in how they continue the story line into the next season(s). The only issue for me is that I don't particularly like the main character although he did start to grow on me gradually.

Yea they covered technical details really well (but linux is at work here not windows). And it was fun watching how big companies hire cyber security companies to secure their data centers and how they deal with their daily operations. Being head of a big cyber security company is a nightmare if your clients got some hackers in love with their data!

Only script kiddies uses Windows for hacking, every pro uses Linux for this :) Totally my type, will definitely try it bro.

Thanks for telling.

Yes bhai you will enjoy it if this stuff is of your interest because hollywood movies or dramas don't cover it with this much detail.

Definitely my interest. Already i have started collecting it, i have nearly all Hollywood movies based on Hacking, even from 90s i have movies about hacking :))
 
I think Person of Interest is a better TV show. Mr Robot first few episodes were great but than it went crazy.
 
Finished downloading some episodes of season 2 will give it a try again (last few episodes in season 1 were average).
 
2 episodes left for me to see from this epic series, what a journey it has been; there are many times when we casually pass of something as one of the best ever, but this masterpiece genuinely lives up to the billing and is a personified all time great television series. The final season is arguably the best of the lot and also allows the entire cast to shine even though we know it is about Elliot, they have weaved the narrative from day one beautifully and hopefully the finishing stretch does it justice.

I agree, a great show that also has a fantastic ending.

So much great episodes in this final season in particular.

It was a beautiful ending, I think it can be so challenging to do an excellent final season but not only was it great the finale was satisfying to; very challenging in this genre but they delivered and have the set bar imo. My favourite episode of the season was the 5 Acts with Vera, Elliot and Krista; that was outstanding and had a very cinematic/theatrical structure with the visual, narrative layout and sound; am glad Vera returned and was given one hell of a send off because the character was so good. What was your favourite episode and what did you make of White Rose's machine ? am I right in thinking it was basically a large hadron collider from which he/she was trying to create some kind of alternate universe
 
Aray bhai, can you put these things in spoiler tags next time so as to not spoil it for everyone else. Thanks.

Pakistani new channels reported the death of Danish in Mere Pas Tum Ho as breaking news yesterday spoiling it for all those who were planning to watch this drama or the final episode :))

Is it that Pakistani drama whose finale was shown in the theaters? No self respecting or non self respecting news agency would post such a spoiler in the West and even if they did there would be a warning. :facepalm:

Yes talking about same drama the Finale is being shown repeatedly in theaters because of the popularity it's the biggest hit in our recent TV history even bigger thn Payare Afzal and Zindagi Gulzar He. I didn't follow this drama except a couple of clips here and there but you can get the idea of it's popularity by looking at the views of each episode on Youtube. My whole Twitter timeline use to turn into a Mere Pas Tum Ho comments section whenever any episode was live :facepalm:
 
4 eps , addictive but hate the premise of it, extremely negative show much like Billions.
 
Love it. Different to anything I have seen before, but as I'm still only through two seasons, won't be coming back to this thread until I've watched all of it. I see someone put a spoiler about the ending but I skipped reading any details so I'm still ok.

Stick with it till the end, gets even better which isn't always a norm with tv shows

I am in all the way. Pretty much love all the characters apart from the hijaban who is supposed to be Iranian but played by an Indian and looks it. The sad girl Angela is my favourite female role for a long time.
 
Only series where second season holds so much quality compared to first one.
Every scene is so well directed acted, the background music is so well placed , can’t believe I didn’t watch it before.

It is a millennial show though, and let’s see how it moves forward.

Episode 7 was masterful, but my favorite was episode 9.

It was so well executed with great callbacks to F-Society to help the operation. Elliot was fighting with his emotions after episode 7's revelation. Phillip Price had a majestic farewell as he constantly goaded White Rose and he had nothing to lose. "I am a mercenary, i'd rather see you lose, than win". Those words came true with this episode.

White Roses' machine was a hadron coliider i believe. It made sense why he wanted the Congo annexed. It was crazy that they actually initially made us believe that the machine worked. That is why the final season was great; there was so much variety in episodes, and they were all great.
 
Finished it, excellent series, only dramatic series which I didn’t feel to fast forward and defn the one with best conclusion.

Great negative characters , best I have seen(better than GOT) ,many episodes played homage to various genres of cinema.

So happy to see it end with 4 seasons.

True , tbf there are lot of Indian actors in the show incl the mother, but this particular role didnt make sense to go to an Indian, above all what even didnt make sense was her name -Biswas? I ve never heard an Iranian name(could be wrong) that is Biswas.

Other than that there were diverse characters in the show, esp the negative ones.

Vera,Leon,janice,Irving liked them all!

Feel its the writing and directing. Most of the actors except Irving(who was already big) won’t really have that much of an impact outside the show.
 
Not really sure about the ending. All seemed a bit fantastical, and seemed very anti-Chinese for no good reason. I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest.
