In season 2, they discuss Seinfeld a little bit - that is another show I prolly should discover soon.

China etc., The heartless Technocrats! Environmental slam by Evil Corp, the need for a vigilantist Hacker arises! If you liked Breaking Bad, you'll love Mr. Robot!

...remember he owes millions to Chinese Banks. There's some talk of ruskies in the series too regarding the run up to the election of 2016 so 2015 time frame. Don't forget the American oligarchs in Evil Corp, and so much symbolism that keeps your eyes glued to the series. If someone wanted to depict anarchists, it would be the all dressed in black group rioting. I thought this series was ahead of it's time. Circumstances are not all the same but many parallels. Surreal and Deep Thinking goes into this series to really appreciate it! I think we all have an element of Elliot in us in this series!

ok something else: Black Mirror/or Utopia. My fav. tv. I love how we are experiencing/viewing the series events through Elliot who is schizophrenic. The casting is amazing. Rami Malek, Grace Gummer (I am loving everything I see her in!), Christian Slater, Portia Doubleday and Carly Chalkin (Suburgatory), B.D.Wong (Gotham). Sam Esmail is a wizard and his music is in it-- so tonal -makes it all surreal as if you, yourself were having a psychotic break. The music is amazeballs and I even made a playlist.

I was pretty up to date on movies, Denver to LA was perfect to catch a show.

I think mr robot is done, 4 seasons.

I really loved this show. Can you recommend similar shows to me?
I am an absolute fan of Rami Malek. I just watched Bohemian Rhapsody because of him.

It's pretty excellent for 4 seasons ... if I were you I'd just stop watching at the end of Season 4 and resolve yourself that the many mysteries that will remain unsolved at that point will simply never be explained.

The show is better that way quite honestly.

You probably won't be able to though, just out of sheer curiosity.
