Premise
The series follows Elliot Alderson, a young man living in New York City, who works at the cyber security company Allsafe as a security engineer. Constantly struggling with social anxiety disorder, dissociative identity disorder and clinical depression, Elliot's thought process seems heavily influenced by paranoia and delusion.[7] 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 consumer debt by destroying the data of one of the largest corporations in the world, E Corp (which Elliot perceives as Evil Corp), which also happens to be Allsafe's biggest client.[8]

Production
Conception and development
According to Sam Esmail, he is fascinated by the hacker culture and wanted to make a film about it for around 15 years.[33] In the production, Esmail consulted experts to give a realistic picture of hacking activities.[34] 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.[35][36]
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.[37] However, midway through writing the first act, he found that the script had expanded considerably, and that it had become a script more suited for a television show.[38] He removed 20 of around 89 pages of the script then written, and used it as the pilot for the series,[39] and what was to have been the end of the first act became the finale of the first season.[37] Esmail took the script to film and television production company 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,[40] and picked it up to series with a 10-episode order in December 2014.[41] Production began in New York on April 13, 2015.[42] The pilot premiered on multiple online and video on demand services on May 27, 2015,[43] and the series was renewed for a second season before the first season premiered on USA on June 24, 2015.[44] In December 2015, it was announced that Esmail would direct all episodes in season two.[45] In June 2016, it was announced that the second season's episode order was increased from 10 to 12 episodes.[46] The 12-episode second season premiered on July 13, 2016.[46] On August 16, 2016, USA renewed Mr. Robot for a third season set to air in 2017.[47][48]
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 David Fincher used to underscore the climax of Fight Club ("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 the film.[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 is filmed in New York. Filming locations include Silvercup Studios and Coney Island, which serves as the exterior of 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 season one finale were shot late at night just before the 4th of July holiday weekend to catch the area at its emptiest while other shots were done on sets.[59] Production on the second season began on March 7, 2016, resuming filming in New York City.[31]
Aftershows
In June 2016, USA Network announced Hacking Robot, a live aftershow hosted by Andy Greenwald to air during season two.[60] Hacking Robot debuted after the season two premiere and aired again following the tenth episode. In addition, a weekly web-only aftershow titled Mr. Robot Digital After Show premiered on The Verge and USA Network's websites after the third episode, and ended after the eleventh.[61]

Season 1
Season 1 of Mr. Robot received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 98%, based on 53 reviews, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The site's consensus reads, "Mr. Robot is a suspenseful cyber-thriller with timely stories and an intriguing, provocative premise."[62] It set a record on Rotten Tomatoes as the only show to earn perfect episode scores for an entire season since the site began tracking television episodes.[63] On Metacritic, the first season scored 79 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[64]
Merrill Barr of Forbes gave it a very positive review, writing, "Mr. Robot has one of the best kick-offs to any series in a while" and that it "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."[65]
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".[66] 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 Elliot'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.[67]
Mr. Robot made several critics' list for the best TV shows of 2015. Three critics, Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly, Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone, and the staff of TV Guide, named it the best show of the year. The series also placed second on the list from three other critics, and was named among the best of the year from four other critics.[68]
Season 2
The second season also received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a score of 94%, based on 32 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The site's consensus reads: "Unique storytelling, a darker tone, and challenging opportunities for its tight cast push Mr. Robot even further into uncharted television territory."[69] On Metacritic, it has a score of 81 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[70]
Sonia Saraiya of Variety praised Rami Malek's performance and wrote, "it's Malek's soulful eyes and silent pathos that give Mr. Robot its unexpected warmth, as the viewer is lured into Elliot's chaos and confusion.[71] Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter lauded Sam Esmail's direction, writing "Esmail's camerawork — characters tucked into corners of the frame, among other nontraditional compositions — continues to give the sense of disorientation and never feels tired" and "there are some flourishes in the first two hours that are brilliantly conceived and [...] contribute to what is one of the most visually remarkable hours on television."[72]
Security industry reception
Costin Raiu, general director of Kaspersky Lab's Global Research and Analysis Team, has praised the show for its realistic and accurate depiction of hacking and IT security noting that "most of the scenes are top class and the usage of tools, operating systems and other tiny details, from social engineering to opsec is very good".[73]
