He is recruited by the mysterious leader of an underground group of hackers to join their organization. Elliot's task? Help bring down corporate America, including the company he is paid to protect, which presents him with a moral dilemma. Although he works for a corporation, his personal beliefs make it hard to resist the urge to take down the heads of multinational companies that he believes are running -- and ruining -- the world.

Michelle Dean The New Republic Mr Robot has the smarts and the smooth control to start carefully parsing the relationship between Elliot's alienation and his desire to "change the world." Jul 21, 2016 Full Review Wenlei Ma Empire Magazine Australasia It's an incredibly cynical view of the world but it may be one of the most realistic depictions of our existence, even if it's the parts most of us never see. Jul 14, 2016 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR Esmail is pulling a Fargo instead of a True Detective, taking his show into surprising new directions while holding onto some of the stuff that made us love it in the first place. Jul 14, 2016 Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica S1's kinetic plot was impossible to replicate, but S2 has done a lot of good. Jul 27, 2021 Full Review Akhil Arora Gadgets360 Speaking of what makes the show, it still carries the cultural markers, Internet Age jibes, and background score peculiarities that made it a breakout hit last summer. Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Adam Epstein Quartz With each passing episode, it has become more of a chore to decipher what's going on amidst all the show's form-bending tricks and gimmicks.

Audience Member A great continuation of the plot of the first season, showcasing the real fallout and damage that was done instead of a happy ending for the country. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Phillip D Top of the line show. Might be my favorite of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Roman L More emo, less hacking. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Brett R Season 1 was amazing, but season 2 this one falls off pretty hard. Pacing was way worse, show meanders. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Benjamin H Providing more of the cinematic nature and layered storytelling that season 1 offered while also being curious, cerebral and tense, the sophomore season of Mr Robot has a few pacing issues and it gets sometimes bogged down in its intricacies, however it remains a captivating and intense watch that also benefits from its dark tone, great performances and top-notch direction (cinematography and music is also amazing). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Forged S I really enjoyed the first season of this show. I felt engaged on many different levels. Not only was the story riveting and the acting top shelf, but the cinematic language was something that can be studied for years later. So what'd I think of the sophomore season? Well, while the acting and cinematic language held steady, the story felt quite meandering. Maybe the show creators didn't expect the series to last beyond a first season or maybe they were stalling, but the pacing compared to the first season wasn't up to par. Is it still worth watching? Definitely. There are moments that are so iconic I can't help but watch them over and over again. For instance, I will never be able to hear Phil Collins again without thinking about one scene in particular. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
