Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This show is completely engrossing. After watching the first two episodes I was hooked. Rami Malek is really outstanding as Elliot Alderson, and he will be the reason that you return again and again. Other exceptional stand-outs are Elliot Villar as Vera, Martin Wallström as Tyrell Wellick, and of course Christian Slater as Mr. Robot. The story itself is interesting, and while I've heard some complain that it "gets slow" or that it "drags on": I would have to disagree. Instead, I would say that the story unfolds very "thoughtfully," and it leaves enough bumps along the way to always pique your interest. Honestly though, besides the wonderful characters and story, the cinematography is the biggest pull for me. All I can say is that the camera work is beautiful and artistic. For instance, you'll oftentimes have Elliot's head in the corner of a frame rather than just straight-on... as if to tempt the viewer to look around in the scenery... almost as a simple play off of Elliot's paranoia. Scalpel precision is used to capture delicate facial expressions, subtle eye movements, and collect every ounce of energy that the cast gives off. I feel that I'm running myself ragged here, but I literally could go on-and-on about how many things I like about this show. Mr. Robot is a true 5 star show to me. Great cinematography, a stellar cast, and I can't get enough of it-- an instant classic.
