TV Series Review: Mr. Robot (Pilot Episode)

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS, WHICH MAY LEAD UP TO THE PREMIERE COMING THIS JUNE.


Hello readers,
Today I shall be sharing with you what I thought of the pilot episode of Mr. Robot. I am not going to consider this like my usual film, television series or music review, I will just talks about the plot summary and what I feel about it.

Mr. Robot is a television series about Elliot, a brilliant computer hacker who works as a security engineer in the day and vigilante in the night until he was hired by an unknown organisation. Rami Malek (known for his performance in The Pacific and The Night Of The Museum) portrayed as the one and only Elliot, who not only is a brilliant hacker but a guy suffering from anti-social disorder and chronic depression.

The pilot episode was interesting and it lasted for an hour and roughly ten minutes with classic hacking and how the world in cyber age is portrayed. It also shows how vulnerable we, humans can be in the cyber world, whether you are on Facebook or other social media sites including email. Even in any day, a company can be threatened and database can be hacked into if security is not maintained. I find it interesting that the series managed to show how information can be used to threatened someone such as for instance, Elliot used information to blackmail the targeted people like he was some kind of cyber Mentalist.

With the pilot episode being fun and promising, I do look forward to other episodes which will premiere on June 24, 2015. For now, if you are interested in cyber security or maybe something to let you hook up for an hour or so, Mr. Robot is a television series you do not want to give a skip.

Ratings: 7/10
