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 and clinical depression, Elliot's thought process seems heavily influenced by paranoia and delusion. 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.

It's amazing. Going to keep up with this show.

I missed the first episode although it's right after Suits, which I religiously watch. I might start watching this show too

First episode was okay. Looks like it'll be getting much better though.

I enjoyed it. It kinda reminds me of a Dexter, but the main character's creepy compulsion is a million times more convincing and yet still more morally grey than "serial killing serial killers". The "hacking" scenes are pretty cheesy as expected, but it felt like the main meat of the story was the depth of the main character's mental problems rather than l33t hax0r skillz.
I'm already wondering if this is going to end up with the Fight Club scenario... Is Christian Slater's character even real or is it him projecting another personality? But with the way they present the show from his own fucked up point of view, I'm guessing that this is exactly what they want us to be asking... Who is real and who is just a figment of his haywire delusions?
Here's hoping that it ages better than Dexter did...

From the moment he calls E-corp Evil corp everyone around him does the same, including the text on TV.
So that is a clue that we are just watching his version of reality which might be totally different from what is actually going on.

I'll give it a try!
Edit: That was a great start :D

He specifically acknowledges that though; he's aware that it's actually E-Corp.

Yup. It seems to be a pretty clever psychological thriller, where the viewer is intentionally fed misinformation to keep wondering what is real and what is just in the protagonist's mind. I can't think of a series that pulled it off right. In movies, Fight Club is the obvious one. A Beautiful Mind plays with that in a more direct manner.
My current thoughts (without watching episode 2 yet) are that the Fun Society is imaginary.

Anyone see the second episode? That ending wtf

writers loving the got stile of character development

Eh, not quite feeling this show after episode two. I'll give it one more episode.
|
Show sounded kinda interesting but the twitch ads made it seem like an EDGY show and kinda bleh about it
|
Do we have to wait another 8 weeks or so for episode three?
I like Mr Robot, he's pretty insane and has his own, non-sentimental brand of justice, so I'd probably keep watching.

Next episode should air next week.

Episode 2 didn't really pull me in. The characters went from interesting to bland and irritating in a single episode. The ending was kinda neat, but it doesn't work when you only have a single main character and know that he's not dead (probably just broke his arm).

No yeah he's not dead... Him and Christian Slater are definitely the same person. I think they made it pretty clear this episode and next episode will be the one where Elliot realizes it too.

The main character nails the same cadence that Edward Norton uses in Fight Club's narration.

Did they elaborate on what the F in f-society stand for? Freedom society?

It has that disappointing 2edgy4me vibe now. Not much is happening, but damn, shit is deep.

One possible clue: the building they use was called "Fun society" before it lost 2 letters on its sign.
My guess is that it now means "Fuck society" :D.
