Anyone watch this show? I am hearing great things about it and might have to start watching. Any reviews out there from the paddock?

It's great. Suspense/Thriller. You don't want to read anything about it. Just watch. I caught up on google pay this week.

Looks like it's getting really good reviews. And you can watch all the episodes on USA's website.

SPOLIERS!!!!










































So whats up with Elliot and the Christian Slater character? Is that his dad? Is he just seeing him because he is crazy and off his meds? Is this kind of like the Tyler Durden in fight club kinda deal, an alter ego?

BTW, show of the year for me, haven't been this excited during the 1st season of a show since GoT in 2011.

Last week we thought it was some Memento type junk where Elliott just forgets crap all the time and Slater's character really is his dead, this week's episode would indicate it's a Tyler Durden type deal where Slater's character is really Elliott's dad but just a hallucination and Elliott is infact Mr. Robot.

This is the list of shows I can't wait to come on every week in my entire life (31 years old and have been watching TV regularly pretty much my entire life), and this is pretty rare territory - just 13 TV shows, and Mr. Robot is one of them. And it's one of just three currently airing. And it may just be taking over The Walking Dead as my runner up most favorite show ever with Breaking Bad being in the top spot. For reference, I've never had the premium cable channels like HBO, Showtime, etc. There are still many, many highly rated shows I have yet to watch that are on my Netflix to do list though.

Walking Dead
Mr. Robot
Better Call Saul
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
Freaks and Geeks
Twin Peaks
Parks and Recreation
The Office (US)
How I Met Your Mother
The Wonder Years
Raising Hope
Cheers

It's great but let's see how it wraps up the first season spot storyline before it's GOAT. great so far.

Yeah. I thought the reveal that his dad was dead all along "worked" because it also showcased how ill Elliott is, because earlier in the season, it seemed like he had everything together.

Let's see how they wrap it up. Can't believe it's the season finale already.

I watched all 9 episodes after seeing this thread. Wow. Episode 8 was one of my favorite TV episodes ever. If they can pay all of it off (which will be tough), this show could be an all timer.

If a series has an IMDB rating of 9.0 or higher it at least deserves a shot. There is only 31 all-time, after all.

Just finished episode 4. Great so far. A lot of great subplots and characters. Excited to finish it up this week. When is the season finale? Would like to watch it live if it didnt already happen.

Quick question regarding the "mixtape" guy that gave the CD to Angela's boyfriend who then hacked her/her dads accounts and made him confess about cheating... who is the guy that gave them the cd? Does he work for another hacker group and is Darlene working for both groups? Seemed like he was Darlene's ex boyfriend. If this is something that I missed in a previous episode, could someone explain? Or if this is something that will be revealed in a later episode, please don't say. Thanks.

Ended up getting sucked in after seeing the recommendations on here. Knocked out all 9 episodes in 2 days.

Excellent stuff.

What are you watching it on? I am watching it on the DirecTV app but there are long *** commercial breaks after like 5 minutes of viewing.

I think you can watch it on demand for free on the USA Network website, but I could be wrong. I've watched every episode live so I haven't had the need to look.

You can, but as MWes said, they have 5 minute commercials every 2 minutes. TWC also has each episode on demand. There are a few commercials that way too, but not more than 1 at a time and for just 15 seconds.

Caught up w/ my wife last night over past 3 days... WOW.

Crushed it through OnDemand via DirecTV. Minimal commercials (other USA plugs). Definitely the way to go.

As far as the show is concerned, it's absolutely fantastic. A little Thomas A Anderson mixed in with House of Cards and a touch of American Psycho. Unreal.

Really? I had 0 commercials watching online. I guess my ad blocker got them.

I should have qualified that I watched 4 episodes through the USA app on my iPhone. That method was brutal.

Season finale delayed until next week due to the Virginia shooting today. Apparently there is a scene in the episode similar to what happened today
