One of the most insanely underrated shows of all time. You're in for such an incredible journey.
Happy to be witnessing this!
Nah, the show is rated.
In what world is it underrated, 8.5/10 in IMDB, 92% Rotten Tomatoes.
@@poulhansen3813 It's underrated in the sense that not enough people talk about it...always hear people praising Breaking Bad, Saul, Sopranos etc., but rarely Mr. Robot.
Underrated in that, not enough people have seen it for how quality it is. Underrated is probably not the right word for it.
"our main character is not normal" oh you had no idea.
A comment we could use for at least 90% of things that happened/are happening/ will happen
@@JacopoBasanisi out boy is probably the lest weird in this show.
The hacking is completely accurate / everything on the screens is real. Sometimes things are condensed for time (something taking less time than it might irl) but everything on the tech side is true to life
Just to add I was talking about this show with friends who do cyber security and they say usually it's missing a few lines of code and time ofc
I was about to say, it’s not exactly on point, but enough, yes. The onion thing he talks about is not exactly right..exits nodes and what not. But it’s close. Like, right next door close.
It's happening. ITS HAPPENING ITS HAPPENING ITS HAPPENING.
Dude you are in for it!
My favorite show so amazing
"Its like modern cyberpunk." YUP. This show is a big part of showing us that we are even living IN a cyberpunk world right now, its just way more boring than fiction led us to believe it would be. This show absolutely nails cyberpunk.
Best show in a long time. So happy to be along for the ride
@@ASSEMBLOTRON I agree, few shows even stand up to it.
agreed@@ASSEMBLOTRON
OH HELL YES. Mr. Robot is one of my all time favourite shows, it is insanely good. Enjoy the ride, here for every moment!
The cinematography, acting, soundtrack, story, characters, journey is mind-bendingly good.
Also....Hello, Friend!
Loved your reactions too-still miss them!
Hahaha yes!! Very excited to be getting to these..you rock!
Hello, Friend. 👋🏽
Season 1: Amazing
Season 2: What was that...?
Season 3: Woosh, it's starting to make sense now
Season 4: My mind has melted
Season 2 had that feeling but also a “holy shit that’s genius” moment
@@TwoBeFrank No spoilers! 😆
@@apostatereacts I kept it vague 😭
NO WAY! Mr. Robot is legitimately a top 3 show of mine, it'll absolutely blow your mind. You're in for a wild ride. Let's go
Great commentary, great company, James. I found your study of framing and communications fascinating. Because of time I paused Mr. Robot after Season 1. Your videos will be just the push to pick it up again. Season 1 is great and I've a feeling we're in for some awesome ahead of that.
I now have a reason to rewatch Mr Robot, thanks man look forward to this!!
Oh man you have no idea, this show gets crazier and better with each season. It's absolute masterpiece.
Yeah you’re in for it
One thing i love about this show is the code that they show on screen is real and not just gibberish. One of the people involved in this show was a programmer and spoke at my University when this show came out
OH MY GOD I DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS COMING IM SO HAPPY
Im so curious what youll say about the cinematography
Hahahaha happy to drop this just before Christmas 🤘🏽
This show has some insane cinematography throughout specifically with their framing. Please pay attention to how they ignore the rule of thirds and specifically frame people in weird spaces. Once you’ve scene the show more you’ll be able to pick out scenes of the show from any screenshot.
Plus every episode of later seasons are directed by Sam Esmail and not multiple directors like most shows like breaking bad or Saul.
I was just seeing how James' video accentuates this. Elliot doesn't appear in the true left of the screen until @08:55 Wow! @@TheBigAngryHobo
Cinematography just got better with every season
I truly can't wait to partake this journey with you. The hacking is extremely realistic by the way; Pretty much 1:1 with reality.
Although it is not that futuristic, this is one of the best pieces of cyberpunk fiction there is. Also one of the best soundtracks in television.
CANNOT WAIT TO GO THROUGH THIS SHOW AGAIN WITH Y’ALL. Buckle the hell up James, it’s gonna be a good one.
Ohhhh hell yeah!!!!!! Such an underrated show. I’m glad more people are reacting to this show. It’s amazing!
You are going to LOVE this show. One of the best series in years in my opinion.
Seeing Rami Malek evolve and own this character was wild, never thought he'd be this talented when I first started watching the show
This is arguably top 5 shows we've been blessed with...ever
I've rewatched it multiple times. Knowing where it goes, I'm excited to see you go on this roller coaster
I think you'll really love this show.. Sam Esmail is a huge film lover and he pays homage to both classic and modern film throughout the series. He also incorporates his own experimental style (which might feel just a little self-indulgent at times) but it really is exceptional. Cheers to your 1st episode, looking forward to more!
I can imagine Christopher Nolan being a huge fan of the show
It’s going to be an awesome ride, excited for the journey! Off to a phenomenal start!
Based Elliot..!

Have a great day y'all!
Bonsoir, James!
Keep a sharp eye, and sharp ear out for all of the episode stuff, in each episode, James.
This is absolute top-tier TV... Up there with BB an fin some ways better.
Longtime listener, first time caller. I'm excited for you to get into this show. I don't rewatch this as much as I do other shows I like because it gets to be an emotional roller coaster but I'm always happy to see this show get some love.
Much love Tony 🙏🏽
One of my favorite series, I find the totality of the journey so satisfying and cathartic.
Glad to hear it!
Yes, the hacking is accurate. You're gonna love this. #fsociety
Dude... No show has come close to the absolute perfection this show is. Not only the technical side, the cinematography, the soundtrack, the storytelling, the acting is otherworldly, but also the story in itself is deeply human and realistic. Is heartbreaking but also inspirational. This show is both a love and hate later to humanity.
Easily one of the five best shows I’ve ever watched
A hella underrated show, super excited to hear your thoughts film making wise on this one. There’s some incredible cinematography and camera work throughout the show.
So happy Mr. Robot is finally covered by a bigger reactor and more importantly a filmmaker. I know you finished the whole season on Patreon, I hope you'll return soon with the 2nd season. This show becomes crazier with each season. S3 and S4 are cinematic masterpiece and some of the best TV there is.
Mr Robot is brilliant. I'm so glad they didn't milk it. The cinematography is crazy good and each season has one episode where they really try something cool out, such as an episode that has almost no dialogue, an episode that is done like a theatrical play etc. Such a creative show.
Mr Robot is so amazing. Storytelling, Camerawork, Plot, Characters, Music - everything fits so well together. For me with Breaking Bad my favorite show
Everything you're reacting to is in my top 10 and it took a decade of watching them as they came out to get through it all. You have all these incredible shows to compare right next to each other so I'm really interested in your perspective.
One of the best TV show in recent years, to say the least. It's a fantastic journey!!
Editing, cinematography, music, acting, everything about it is absolutely outstanding. It's a shame they only got one Emmy for the show, but it was very well deserved.
I've always loved his character. While he is flawed, he bends toward good. That's not only real, but it's the best any of us can hope for.
I agree, and honestly..a breath of fresh air for a character let alone our main one!
It's interesting to me how new viewers tend to immediately interpret Elliot's hatred of society as a hatred of people, even though as you pointed out, there are several moments of him displaying real warmth and humanity towards people he cares about, even just in the pilot. I think what a lot of this show is about, and why it's centered on such a strange, marginalized character, is the infrequently considered difference between hating society and hating people, and the reasons why loving people might drive you to hate society in the first place. There's clearly a grey area between the two, much of which the show explores, but at the end of the day, hatred of people is a personal flaw which you have to grow beyond, while hatred of society often reflects worse on your society than it does on you. Humanity, as a whole, could never fail you personally to a great enough extent to justify hatred, while society is capable of failing not only you but everyone you know and billions you don't, to an extent which justifies not only loathing, but violent opposition.
Ive always thought of Mr Robot as a sequel to a Christian Slater movie called pump up the volume ( 1990 ) him in a new town , new high school making a pirate radio station behind his parents backs in the basement causing trouble . Lots of social commentary and uh again , lots of trouble .
FUCK. YES. So pumped you're reacting to this!
Excited to go on this wild ride with you and all the other Mr. Robot stans!
"I'm ok with it being awkward between us."
That line always kills me.
It's really neat how this show uses actual hacking techniques that have been employed by cyber criminals in a lot of real cases. When they've talked about cyber security at my work, they talk about how the people are the vulnerability more often than the systems. It's much easier for hackers to trick an employee into giving them some access, than to just computer their way into the system. It's now very normal for a company to send a fake email to their employees as a test to see whether any click what could have been a malicious link.
In this show, they make a point to actually explain how the hack has taken place. Whether Elliot has gleaned a password from studying a target, or whether the hack required physically accessing the computer, there's an explanation for how they managed to breach a system beyond "this guy is so good at computers, he can just go anywhere."
Is this your first time seeing Christian Slater in anything? You got to check out Heathers, Pump up The Volume, and my fav Gleaming The Cube (aka A Brother's Justice).
My dad's an old school Linux guy and he loves this show.
Hey M8! Maybe it sounds a little weird, but I'm thrilled that you can watch this fantastic series for the first time! This work is definitely one of the best 5 series of this decade, full of fun, jokes, suspense, ideas, great characters, but above all very psychological and philosophical - with mountains of social criticism.
Will stay with you through yout journey...
All the best from Germany!
You gotta review "HACKERS" after this. Not realistic hacking at all but stylistically awesome and a huge cult classic.
Excited for you to experience this masterpiece of a show. Folks will naysay parts of it and there are a couple flaws, but the whole picture is just fantastic.
One of the best opening episodes in TV, the setups are crazy
This show grips you, but you grip back. Elliott needs us; he made an imagery friend to go on this journey with him. He needs someone who, like him, has no idea what is going on or what will happen. Without us, the imagery friend and viewer, this journey and TV show does not happen. We have to choose Elliott too for this to work.
That a major theme in the show; Elliott often feels isolated or alone, but he never is. As the series goes on, you see him build relationships with friends, teammates, and yes, Mr. Robot. We're always there with him as he learns to understand that there are others there for him too. Relationships are difficult, but once you see the ending, you really understand how important we were to Elliott, and that's really unique and beautiful.
Fun Fact: E Corp is also the name of the shows creator/writer/director's production company (Esmail Corp)
THAT’S SO DOPE. Didn’t even catch that.
I know your a bit younger, but look into the the history of Enron. Huge terrible company that was at its peak awfulness in the late 90s-early 2000s. Just to understand a bit of what they were going for with Ecorp.
Mr Robot is my second favorite TV show just behind Twin Peaks. It's a stunning looking show and the visual storytelling is incredible and the score is incredible. You are in for a wild ride, enjoy!
Forgot how good this show was! Music and Cinematography are on a different level.
IT'S HAPPENING! I am so excited. I just finished a re-watch of this and so stoked to hear your thoughts.
What I like about this is that it is honestly radical. Most shows and movies that are "radicals" do not show almost anything about changing the system. It is almost always just "bigotry and rich people or corporations are bad" in a very centrist and in still keeping the system kind of way. Virtue signaling just for the sake of it is just safe and boring.
When Mister Robot shouted "IT'S ROBOTING TIME!" at the end, I fell to my knees in the middle of a Best Buy.
LMFAO bro 😂
Oh my god I am so insanely excited that you are watching this. My favorite show ever. So happy to hear your thoughts.
Glad you like the corner shots bc Mr Robot is iconic for it !!!! Lot more to come can’t wait for this amazing journey.
Peaky Blinders James…. One day, one glorious day. Excited for this one tho
Well this is enough to get me to sub to the Patreon, though I don’t know if I could handle a long wait for the rest of the seasons haha. Legitimately the greatest show ever, especially in the later seasons. The story, music, cinematography, and acting are all phenomenal.
Love that you are viewing this, James, and love the commentary. One of my favourite series. Slows down a bit in season 2 but picks up strongly in the final 2 seasons. Looking forward to your viewpoint.
This show is amazing I need to pick it up again. I got busy with stupid work and didn't get into Season 4, but I love this show. James' mind will be blown so hard by this show.
Best show ever. And I love how the conversation on the ferris wheel is like Neos conversation with Morpheus in the Matrix.
Both Neo and Elliot have a splinter in their minds, a sense that something is wrong with the world.
If I had to describe this series in one word it would be Craft. Everyone involved with this show brought an element of artistry to their given craft. I'm constantly ping ponging between being engrossed in the story, and being in awe of the way in which it is told.
This is probably my favorite show of all time but the first season has been retroactively made worse (or maybe better lol) because it came out before the word "society" became a meme in and of itself and it leans so hard into Elliot being unwell and antisocial😭
This serie is like a baklava made with 40 layers of dough with pistachio fillings.
The thing that shocks me about this show is that it was allowed to be made and made commercially viable. It really hits the social zeitgeist of anger at the system that's been brewing for decades.
Mr robot was awesome, mix Mr Robot and the Fargo and Marvel and then you get the Legion series
Yoooo I've been waiting for the day you start this show, its so good absolutely top teir
Glad you enjoy it!
Hannibal and Barry and The Leftovers are.on the list i hope... Yes mr robot is one hell of a show too
Mr Robot is one of those really rare shows that is an incredible story and the cinematography is absolutely phenomenal. You're in for a RIDE my dude. I love this show and its even better on a second rewatch. Good luck!
I was obsessed with season 1. Watched it 5 times through. Then I moved across the country and my life changed and I never saw the next seasons. Maybe I'm back in
I was one of those who wrote about the Robot after every mention of a "beautiful" frame in other series)))
one of the best shows of all time, SO excited for this journey!
oh man, this show: MASTERPIECE!!!!!
One of my favorite shows ever, for so many reasons. It's my standard by which i rate other shows, to my dismay at times lol. Good luck!
Perhaps one of the best pilots/first episodes of any TV show. It sets the stakes, character starting beats, vibe, and larger questions to be answered.
genuinely one of the greatest shows I've ever watched. it's so fking underrated, very thematic and dark but personal. i hope you enjoy it bro
Where does it rank for ya mate? For me it’s number 4 only behind
1. The wire
2. Game of thrones
3. Six feet under
4. Mr robot
My mom put me on this show and I have no memory except that it was such a banger of a show
I just finished this show. What an incredible journey you're embarking on.
the music is absolutely amazing
Mr Robot IS cinema
The title card drops alone are pure art let alone the rest of the show. It's insane how good this show is wall-to-wall beginning to end.
I audibly said yes when I saw this on my feed. Love this show!
YOOO lets go! ive been hoping for this you're gonna love it
Finally! MR.ROBOT
my favorite show of all time, so underrated. wish more people gave it a chance its such a wild ride!
Yeeees this series is the best
Thank you James! After enjoying your reactions to Dark and BB/BCS I KNOW you will be amazed and intrigued with Mr Robot! My all time number 2 (Dark #1).
Can't wait for epp 2!
Same! Dark was top tier for me too!
hell ya! Smashin that like button before it even starts.
-when I tell you this was my show. Rami Malek is soooo good.
OMG! YES!
Probably my favorite show EVER!
You are in for a ride!
Season 1 & Season 4 forever rent space in my mind! Powerful!
OH MY GOD YES!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE IS REACTING TO THIS UNDERRATED AND LARGELY FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE!!!!!!
LETS GOOOOOO. I think this is one of the best shows ever made. Hope you're enjoying it.
The tools he used in this show were effective and very real for testing security systems.
I am genuinely so excited that you're doing this show! my absolute all time favourite show, it's so incredibly underrated. literally changed my outlook on life. hope you enjoy it!!
It took me 2 full viewings of this series, but it has become my favorite. Patience definitely pays off with this one. Criminally underrated. If it had been on a more prestigious channel or a streamer like Netflix, it would be mentioned alongside Breaking Bad and The Wire as an all-timer.
This show had me questioning *everything*, you will too.
Beat show I've ever watched, I never thought something would match breaking, but the story, ending, soundtrack, cinematography, symbolism, character development, twists, foreshadowing, and real world value is top notch. So glad your watching!!!!! You the 🐐
I have been with you from the get go and you still are the only person i give money to. Ive been asking, praying and hoping that one day youd react to one of my all time favorite shows. You are going to have an amazing time. Your heart, mind, eyes and ears are about to go crazy.
Digging the Cassiopea top my dude :) Gonna bump that in the car when I do my Japan road trip (ALSO MY FAVOURITE SHOW EVA HYPE)
This show gets wild from beginning to the end, one of the best stories ever told on a tv series, you're in for a ride James
It's been Years and I still haven't recovered from the last season of this show, a true underrated masterpiece. I'm looking forward to you covering this. peace ✌❤
You're in for a trip. This show is so good.
Yeah the music reminds me of mass effect
EXCELLENT choice, looking forward to this one!
You and me both!
